You overestimate the willingness of Canadian software engineer employers to pay anything beyond peanuts.
Any competent developer already immediately flees to the US to triple their take-home pay at first chance and Canadian employers are fully aware of this.

If that's true then why hasn't Canada managed to produce a credible competitor already? What are they missing? Will the opportunity to win domestic government contracts change that situation or are there other obstacles?
