Vancouver is not sorry. There are plenty in Vancouver who predicted something like this would happen as a result of doing business with Bootup Labs.

If anything, Vancouver has benefited from this because it is now more likely that Bootup Labs will be booted out of Vancouver. Bootup labs has been hurting the startup community in Vancouver for quite some time and it will help the environment there if this kind of sour leadership is forced out of town.

For one, it was partially a joke. Canadians apologize too much and for anything.

Let me be clear, I'm not sorry this happened to Bootup. I'm sorry because I don't want anyone to think bad of our city because of an event like this.

Bootup can close down tomorrow for all I care. I take it personally when a fellow entrepreneur (and HN user) gets screwed over, and especially when it happened in my city.
