Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca also apply here. See the sidebar on the homepage:
Blackberry at their peak 20,000 staff
OpenText today 24,000 staff.
One could argue thare ar Canadian Tech companies with larger presence than BlackBerry had. It's just not consumer level things.
Shopify is smaller at 11,000 staff. But it's everywhere.
Blackberry controlled 45% of the smartphone market.
The closest comparison today would be Apple and the amount of money that they bring into silicon valley.
OpenText has also arguably done little to no innovation, just packaged up existing technology in regulatory compliant ways and then sold it to governments and large slow moving businesses.
