Amazon HQ2: Contenders down to 20 cities
After promising to search North America for the perfect home for its next headquarters, Amazon has narrowed its list to 20 cities — 19 of which are in the United States. The one exception? Toronto.

An outlier on Amazon's list, Toronto has earned the attention of the technology world due to its diverse population, talent pool and welcome stance on immigration.

"It's got this incredible aspiration for inclusivity," Dan Doctoroff, CEO of Sidewalk Labs, the urban innovation arm of Google's parent company which is developing a Toronto neighborhood, said at an event Wednesday. "If Amazon sees what we see here, it won't even be a close call."

Toronto is the fourth largest city by population in North America, with 2.8 million people. Its percentage of foreign-born residents in the region — 39.7% — exceeds every other city on Amazon's list. Its population has grown by more than 400,000 people in the last five years......

"Wylde believes that Toronto, the only city named in the list outside the U.S., is the biggest threat to New York’s bid because of tightened immigration rules imposed by the Trump administration that could make it more difficult to recruit talent from overseas.

“What I really worry about is that our national immigration policy is becoming so restrictive that it makes Canada look like a better place to be because they don’t have those rules,” Wylde said."
