Techs a different one, not sure if it's that easy to attract that industry. San Fran grew organically from a few early successes, and Vancouver partly took advantage of being the closest place in North America to the gaming industry leaders in Asia. Both the city also have the advantage of being among the most attractive climates in the world, and the tech industry doesn't exactly have to deal with geography when considering locations, so they have the luxury of selecting places that are nice to live to set up shop, Calgary probably does OK on that front but not great.

Time difference pretty well kills finance as a sector for the west, London opens up at 1am Mountain time.
