       Ask HN: What are some cool or underrated tech companies based in
       Canada?
        
       I'm based in Canada and curious to learn more about interesting or
       up-and-coming tech companies here -- not just the usual big names
       like Shopify or Lightspeed, but also smaller startups, bootstrapped
       companies, or niche players doing great work in software, hardware,
       AI, sustainability, fintech, etc.
