Abstract: This particular chapter is the first of three that explores the results of the empirical data for this study. Specifically, the chapter reviews and assesses 25 interviews conducted with human resource executives and vice presidents of primarily high-tech and biotech firms based in Vancouver and Seattle as well as key R&D facilities of Seattle and San Francisco/Silicon Valley firms situated in Vancouver, Canada. It focuses on their experiences moving professionals back and forth across the Canada–US border as part of a growing continentalism under NAFTA and in light of a post 9/11 world.
