    1. Do you really want the government to have access to your stored data. It’s a bad idea for anyone to have access to it probably a government is the worst case scenario. Self hosting is the best idea

    2. A lot of times when we think about cloud, we do so at a global scale: that east coast database may have a replica in Europe and Asia. We also want an eco system that people are familiar with, supports to a wide variety of services, etc.

      They are also stupidly expensive investments.

      And that is why companies like Amazon and Microsoft are involved.

    3. I agree in principle..but…it’s difficult to get around the fact that Azure/Exchange/Microsoft 365 is the defacto standard in business. Many other large companies have tried to build competing products and failed. Good luck trying to get your company Controller, or CFO to sign off on a switch from Excel to Libre Office Calc, or retraining every receptionist and sales person to use Open Office instead of Word.

      I’d rather see a public availability approach taken to cell and internet infrastructure. The problem with public cloud is that it requires high security and can become specialized, especially when you move from IaaS to PaaS or just services. I don’t think it’s practical. Companies have a right to charge for their services, but a common transport infrastructure makes sense to me. One of the unfortunate problems is that the CRTC won’t allow MVNO.

    5. We peaked at the fax! Did you ever stopped to think when IT ends? At the minimum we should dump M$ bloatware and go with Alphabet products or FOSS.

      Built out by the government or the minimum-viable-product contractors they’d hand it out to at 10x the development price? Good luck with that.

      Canada should be run entirely off renewable energy. Canada should win a Stanley Cup this century. I can write articles about things that „should be“ all day long. We should focus our time and energy on realistic problems we actually have the power to solve.
