This is why we need real digital sovereignty.

We need a Canadian free desktop and mobile Linux distro, Canadian data centers, and Canadian services.

We could have a few good devs build and maintain an open universal blue distribution and seed it for all Canadians to use freely. Completely open.

I think this is a great idea. Also find the "a few good devs" bit pretty laughable. Like it's be expensive and worth the money. Although I'd rather see schooling and hospitals get the money first

It's all interdependent. You need schools to educate the kids to become devs and medical professionals, medical care to keep the devs and students alive and healthy enough to keep up their work, IT people to keep the medical systems running and the schools connected.

They need IT infrastructure as much as everyone else.

Canadian data centers

Computing Canada has been promising this for almost two decades. Fucking useless agency, Carney should kill it.

Right, let's keep giving money to Amazon instead.
