Microsoft is currently robbing Canadians.

Every year, they are overcharging the Federal Government, Provinces, Cities, Universities, Hospitals and Small Business owners for the right to use Microsoft Office. They make 40% margins. It's absolutely disgusting.

Microsoft has basically managed to tax every single Canadian.

If you go to a Canadian University, whether you like it or not, you are paying the Microsoft tax. Because your tuition is paying Microsoft. If you pay provincial taxes, you pay the Microsoft Tax. Whether you like it or not, the provinces are paying Microsoft. If you go buy food at the supermarket, whether you like it or not, you are paying the Microsoft tax. Because Canadian supermarket companies are paying Microsoft. You want to buy a bus ticket ? You are paying Microsoft. The Bus company is paying Microsoft.

It's parasitism. Microsoft is a parasite that feeds on the Canadian economy.

I now use Libre Office.

👉 https://www.libreoffice.org/

It's a wonderful alternative to Microsoft Office. It's free, secure, and developed by a non-profit organization that I financially support. I urge people to switch to Libre Office instead of Word/Excel/PowerPoint.

After a few days, you quickly get used to it. Then you just wonder "Why we are all paying Microsoft so much money in the first place?".

We need Canadian institutions, small and big, to do the same. Stop paying the Microsoft tax. Fight the Parasite.
