The United States is taking aim at Canada once again, with a crushing new set of tariffs. Ultimately, government will need to solve this. But in the same way Canadians are avoiding US alcohol, produce, and other goods, they should get off US tech products too. Luckily, I have a guide for that.

Getting off US tech: a guide

I’m in the process of dropping US tech services. Here’s how I did it, and options you should consider.

disconnect.blog

This is a good example of what @ntusikov.bsky.social and I have been warning about for years: US tech companies are uniquely susceptible to extra-legal US government pressure (Google isn’t compelled to change Lake Ontario’s name.) Because of this, they represent a direct threat to Canadian autonomy.

"we should rename Mar-a-Lago something funny, make Google display that" My brother in Christ, the Ontario legislature can declare Google's workers in Ontario to be unionized and assign their collective labour rights to whichever union will be most militant, think bigger

From the Grand Chief of Wendake, Canada's only Wendat First Nation: "We would like to emphasize that the name “Ontario” originates from the Wendat language. Written “Ontarïio’” according to our standardized spelling, it means “the lake is beautiful, great.”" www.facebook.com/pierrepicard...

Canadian anti-Black racism looks like not a single mention of Emancipation Day in @theglobeandmail.com or @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social news this morning. How shameful! This isn’t Black history; it’s the history of Canadian white supremacy and the legacy of white violence that cannot be erase.

I want people to understand the full impact of the devastation that First Nations in Canada are facing. It's NOT just that people and wildlife are losing their homes...it's the history that is being lost for generations to come.

I did a tonne of research so you don't have to. I talk about masking, air filtration, and air quality rating systems, & I give concrete suggestions to help you keep yourself and your loved ones safe. If you don't have this information yet, it's time to get educated. Wildfires don't respect borders.
