No Hollywood Ending for the Visual Effects Industry

I've spent the last several years working in the visual effects industry in Los Angeles, and I've seen the international subsidies (mainly from Canada) basically completely kill the feature film vfx industry in LA.

I've often wondered if the same thing might happen with coding. Will Canada one day decide that they would like to start their own Silicon Valley and offer a large subsidy to tech companies that relocate to Canada?
