E.g. Digital Extremes put out an April Fools that the (deservedly beloved) Creative Director of Warframe had been replaced by an EA suit, people were legitimately upset.

And an editor that does a decent job is not google docs.

It is embarassing that MS has dominated this for more than 30 years and Google, despite its infinite wealth, hasn’t made a decent office app.

Google docs is trash.

How can you keep it?

We do American better than they do. No american shithole would be safe.

If it comes down to it, the question becomes how much fuel and goods do they have in their supply chain.

Canada is: 60% of their crude oil and most of their refineries are built to only handle it, the only alternative is Venezuela, and they can’t supply the same amount. 90% of their Potash, no other country can supply the same amount. Required for modern farming. 60% of their Aluminium, no other country can meet the supply. They also lack the smelters to produce it, even if the ore can be sourced. 100% of their peat. Required for modern farming. 90% of their Vanadium. Critical to a stupid amount of industrial processes.

This is on top of the hundreds of billions Canadians spend on US goods and services each year.

If they try anything stupid, their entire system will dry up.

1. It doesnt work that well.
2. If they do that then they cant trick everyone into buying new devices, thus helping recoup the untold billions dumped into LLM-based content theft.

Moreover, its not like Ukraine hasnt been pushing for localized tech stack since at least 2016-2018 ish.
