Waterloo more angelic than Toronto?

Mark Evans finds it notable that a Toronto company closed an angel round of funding. That's interesting because, in the Waterloo area, we've seen a wave of angel deals over the last couple of years. Most of them have involved local business people, although it looks like another one might be closing soon with Toronto's Maple Leaf Angels.

It could be another example of the differences between the Waterloo and Toronto tech environments, although I wouldn't be surprised to learn that there's a lot more angel activity going on in Toronto than what we hear about. Certainly, most angel deals here never get announced.
