Three big U.S. tech companies control the vast majority of Canada’s publicly-available cloud infrastructure, says a new report released ahead of the government’s national AI strategy, which is expected to include measures targeting AI sovereignty.
Funny story about how France has done it with their public services. The Police where frustrated with the upgrade to XP, so they got a distro developed for them and went Linux. After a Microslop representative told France that their data was not safe from the US CLOUD act, they set a deadline for all public services to switch over to this distro. Not sure if the deadline has passed but fairly sure it is coming up if it hasn’t yet.
And also build some redundant infrastructure so in the event of a US turning hostile (which it is). The post-WW2 alliance and 5-eyes network was made under the assumption that while Americans can be positively nuts, they won’t do shit like this.
But under Trump they proved they can. While Trump’s brain is mush, the movement won’t stop with him. The next president might be worse.
Unlikely. Compute Canada was supposed to establish data servers for federally funded research…in 2009. They even got a rule enacted that if a research program had a server funded, it would be taken by Compute Canada.
Another agency in Ottawa full of 200 wankers no one would miss if fired.
Will Canada finally get its ass out of the US pan and choose Linux?
