Not even that, he depends on their system so won’t leave it. His job depends on their software so he is tied to it and won’t make any real effort to get away from it.

I don’t agree, tech reporter who depends on certain tech for his job will continue advocating for that tech because it’s how he gets paid. Tech savvy my arse.

They aren’t the only ones:

Canada’s Approach to Cloud Services in the Public Sector Proposed Ban on American Cloud Services

The Canadian government is considering a ban on American cloud services for public sector use. This move is part of a broader strategy to enhance data sovereignty and protect sensitive information from foreign access. The intention is to ensure that Canadian data remains under Canadian control, especially in light of concerns regarding the U.S. CLOUD Act, which allows U.S. authorities to access data stored by American companies, even if that data is located in Canada. Implications of the Ban

Data Sovereignty: The ban aims to strengthen Canada's data sovereignty by ensuring that sensitive government data is not subject to U.S. laws.

Economic Impact: This decision could impact the relationship between Canadian and American tech companies, potentially limiting options for public sector cloud services.

Infrastructure Development: Canada may need to invest in developing its own cloud infrastructure or partner with non-American companies to meet public sector needs.

Current Status

As of now, discussions are ongoing, and the government is evaluating the legal, operational, and technical implications of such a ban. The definition of “sovereignty” in this context is still being refined, and the government is considering how to balance security with the need for effective cloud services.
