I always assumed relocation since I remember hearing that at any given time there is often a hard time finding strong talent.
I would think they get a great deal of talent from KW and close by, being with the UoW being so close, and likely factored in their decisions to choose KW.
I also think that their current location and the new building going up wasn't a happy accident. It's close to the transit core and VIA and GO. I don't work at Google so I have no idea of the ratio, but when my friend was still working at RIM/BlackBerry, he said the ratio was 50/50. It might be the same at Google but I have zero clue and it's just a guess based on what others have said in tech.
