Many Canadian institutions use cloud servers run by American companies to store health data, experts say. That, combined with President Donald Trump's stated objective to make the U.S. a world leader in AI and his desire to make Canada a 51st state, means it's possible that his administration could come after our data — perhaps citing national security concerns as he has with tariff executive orders, experts say.

Seriously,

A TON of Canadian stuff is stored in American Cloud Services.

Emails, Health Services, Documentation.

All you insurance info being E-Signed, Mortgages, Finances, Education, Work, Taxes... It's all being routed through an American service provider at some point.

Just about everything you do with Microsoft Windows...

With the US judicial system collapse that is happening right in front of us, its time we start looking at home brew cloud services.

Maybe Blackberry can come back and fill that void, or we could setup something with the European Union, that holds higher standards for privacy.
