The fuck are you talking about? We already know this. And up until the past few years, it was a non-issue. And for most large companies, disentangling from US tech ranges from difficult to impossible. No one was ever expecting it to happen instantly.
The first step in disentangling is actually not that hard.
Switch. Email. Providers.
I’ve been in a medium-sized business (about 500 people) who did that. The switch took a weekend, and managing the glitches that happened afterward took probably an extra two weeks.
The next one isn’t that hard either.
Switch. Web site. Host.
Same business did that as well. That literally took a weekend without glitching later.
With those two alone that’s a major chunk of a business’ exposure to America tech firms (and thus American government retribution) gone.
I’ve been consulting the CDN government about scientific and clinical trial data security concerns since 2008. Every government just kicks the ball forward and uses US tech because they pinky promise to not spy or steal the data.
It was always and issue we just choose to ignore it. Why should our government email be accessible to Americans. America has the best spy network and it is just their software used by all the governments.
How naive Canadians are 🤡

Canadian servers don’t have the capacity to take on this burden unless we build.new.datacentres.
It was an issue 20 years ago, it was an issue 10 years ago, and it was an issue 5 years ago.
Don’t believe the American lies that we used to be friends.

They aren’t naive, they were using US tech. As time goes by, that will change. If they never leave…. We’ll, that’s naivety.
The West. Think how dependent the west is on American tech. If America sanctioned a western country they would be screwed.
This offends my patriotic view.
But you’re not wrong.
Canada would be stronger if it was more independent from the USA. Let’s be like Ireland and Uruguay.
