They need to demand that the government dump AWS too. Probably Microsoft too, but Amazon's warehouse closures need to cost them.

I personally believe we should never put government/government collected data on a foreign IT platform. Ever.

[–] Grabthar 3 points 6 days ago

Agreed, but they can't seem to push Canadians' personal data into the hands of foreign companies fast enough. You'd think this would be a wake up call, but if our decision makers couldn't already see the threat before, I doubt they will ever figure it out.

There are several Sask Party MLAs that use outlook and gmail emails for their official government email address, I think it is disgusting that they use those services for official communications with at least the public. I do not care if they are paying for the addresses and believe Microsoft and Google are not scanning the information to sell advertisements, Google especially makes their money selling ads so everything is scanned Microsoft makes their money selling services so everything is scanned to try and up sell and advertise.
