I’m not an IT person, but there has to be options for at the very least government to move away from Microsoft and google. We surely have IT people here in Canada, make it a national security tie, which it is, and develop our own tools. We need to stop relying on the Americans all together.

    Bill C-22 and others that are being forced through and almost law basically increase dependence and sharing with US government and private companies, and we are going to be seeing Flock cameras in Canada... more than we already are.

    The first one in Quebec was torn down. every government agency except local police said they didn't do it. The local police said 'we have no idea' instead of 'we didn't do it'. Which probably means they did do it.

    I asked Ontario's education ministry and they just said if alternatives existed then they would already be using them.

    Often, what that means is, "We have some stupid "security" requirement that a third party has convinced us to write in despite us not really needing it." Usually, it's for something invasive that can be bypassed by people with enough patience and time on their hands (= high schoolers) if the source code can be modified.
