I find your lack of faith disturbing. I can meme too ya know.
Canadian devs should ask the Canadian govt/people for funding instead of ebegging on Kickstarter or other USA-focused websites. You don't tell people that KickStarter charges them an extra fee for currency conversion when they 'pledge' to non-USA developers.
Usually I'm all for supporting devs, however when a developer is too bullheaded to seek out free govt money from their own govt specifically designed to fund indie projects like this, then I dunno what to tell ya. Literally just put in a French language option in addition to English and you can get funding. Throw in a few maple leafs and other Canadian references like what that South Park game did.
Ubisoft and all the other major publishing bastards get this govt money so why shouldn't you? :P
