Generally avoid posting idiotic things this guy says, but as most people know as offensive as this guy is he's been sure not to offend anyone powerful and it seems like he's finally picked a side. Hopefully this will the straw that break the camel back for the Conservatives.

The Conservative leader called for a ban on Chinese software, matching the US.

“We will protect the North American supply chains by keeping the 75% rule in place, harmonise the North American cybersecurity rules by banning Chinese software, and align with our partners on the tariff against China to counter unfair trade and increase our negotiating leverage,” he stated.

Interesting.

I would say that China is more of a competitor than an enemy, however. This is evident in the openness it is showing to certain nations with whom it practically refused to engage until very recently.

We should apply the same reasoning to the United States, which is currently waging economic warfare against us. The United States is not our friend, and we should stop using their online services, for example.

    100% There should be a lot more concern about device safety and software independence. If Adobe decided that Canada was not worth the taxes and paperwork they could cripple thousands of businesse overnight.
