Microsoft opens new Canadian HQ in Toronto

Microsoft has opened a new Canadian headquarters in downtown Toronto. Our cameras got a look at the high-tech facility.

I wish Canada could just build its own software companies... maybe we do have too much regulation but even that's undermined by letting powerful US based companies that smaller companies can't compete with take up root in Canada's biggest metros

[@thisismarkbro]

That was my concern with this

[@ram-it.damn-it]

This office should have opened up outside Toronto to increase the employment opportunities beyond GTA

[@asadb1990]

why did they decide to open an office in the most expensive city in canada with massive labor shortage.

[@anshu89]

There's a labor shortage for jobs like flipping burgers...not software programming I'm a software engineer in toronto and the competition for jobs is insane

[@megawave79]

@@anshu89 yep. Agreed.

[@asadb1990]

@@anshu89 dude im in construction management i keep getting called for upper management jobs in Toronto all the time. unlike software and tech, the construction industry hasn't diluted itself. people aren't as disposable when move up high enough. most contracts get awarded based on who is in the management team. the cost of living in toronto is pretty high and convincing experienced seasoned professionals to move as renters is a tough sell. and not all can afford million dollar homes.

They don't want us plebs to stain their floors

Is it really necessary to have such footprint in Toronto? Shouldn’t the city discuss about opening the provinces for internal flights freely.

The message am getting is the elites are not wearing ma

Mississauga would have been better.

[@landerboy90]

They closed all their stores in canada. They only opened this place for marketing. For the whole of canada... can't hate on them to much. Because gave 30 laptops and xboxs for community support 🦾
