I think this is great news for countries like Canada and UK.

Not for tech workers from these countries though.

If more jobs are created in these countries, it doesn't mean the local tech workers will be replaced.

You're right because that totally didn't happen to varying degrees in various industries in the US...

Without foreign workers, there may not even be big US tech companies as we know them. I really wish we could have these talents in Europe to boost our economy. This would create more jobs and more wealth ultimately.

We have the talent in Europe, they are just paid peanuts. If moving to the US was not an option, the balance on the labour market would be even worse (for the said talent).
