Canadians are playing defensive. They really need to go on the offensive.

  • Get all Government departments and Crown Corporations to cancel Microsoft Office. Use LibreOffice.

  • Get all Government departments and Crown Corporations to cancel Microsoft Windows. Use Linux.

  • Ban all foreign linked consulting firms (McKinsey, Bain) from obtaining any government contract.

  • Announce a $100 million Canadian fund to support opensource software like Krita, Gimp, Kdenlive, Inkscape. Time to take down Adobe.

  • Cancel the F-35. Buy old F-16s instead. It’s better to have 5 planes that fly than one expensive plane that doesn’t work.

    where is the step in the right direction?

    Imagine you are dying of thirst so I show up, hold a glass of cold water and yell at the world “I will give this water to @Shiggles” and then whisper to you “if you pay me a million dollars, agree to be my slave for life, let me dunk my dick in the water first and finally let me have my way with your partner”

    Would you still say I took a step in the right direction?
