What?? A US company says its governing government takes precedence over any other government's laws?? What shock is coursing through my body at this very instant for the insanity that a corporation must follow the laws of its home-base government!

Stop using US companies, if US laws go against your country's laws or your ethics.

Everything Microsoft makes is replaceable. We need to put money into funding FOSS. It’s far cheaper in the long run than paying for bullshit corporate programs.

If any organisation getting funding from the Canadian government is making a new contract with Microsoft after this statement...
idk what to say. It just won't seem like they are people.
