If we look at the top US companies market cap list, Canadians are still in love with the top 10 companies, if not most from the top 100. Seems the majority of loser Canadians prefer Canschluss. Welcome 51st state/15th territory! 50 billion maximum travel boycott is literally nothing when Google is worth more than the entire Canadian economy alone. Every Canadian still has a Google/Apple phone, uses Microsoft products, Amazon servers, Visa/Mastercard transactions, etc. etc. America's got you by the balls and they will have your resources at this rate!

For this we need Canadian alternatives, but the tech monopolies having a stranglehold on the supply chain. For all the tough talk, all this American tech was built with Chinese labour, and with chips made in Taiwan.

To get Canadian alternatives we'd probably need a crown corporation, simply because under the current market conditions there isn't going to be a way for a Canadian tech company to enter the market now and compete with the likes of Apple or Google.

I'm all for this, but it's going to be a very hard sell in the current political climate.

The biggest issue is where are they going to get chips or RAM specifically right now. The supply chain is in shambles again. Starting to think it is how they like it.
