Canada’s new digital sovereignty paper cuts through the noise:
-True autonomy is impossible
-A homegrown tech stack won’t save us
-Define what’s critical. Encrypt it
Even “Canadian” clouds run on global code. The future is hybrid, secure, pragmatic.

Saw this last week but didn't see much commentary, there should be more, because it's an example of how industry concerns about the workability of regulation are often shot down, but ultimately prove true.

The war of words over the DMA has escalated over the last few days.
I already wrote about Apple's recent blogpost suggesting the DMA should be repealed, but there's been a few more developments over the weekend, with Google and the US Government entering the fray

💥Apple is going public on the EU's Digital Markets Act💥
After years of trying to resolve compliance differences behind closed doors, Apple is spilling all the gory details of how the Commission's sausage is being made, and why European users are getting hurt in the process.

I kinda hope they do decide to exclude tech giants, just to see what happens next. Inviting US retaliation by explicitly discriminating against US tech companies, calling into question the legality of the DMA itself, and neutering open-banking all in one fell swoop.

Yea nah, given all the compliance risk and political pressure on this issue, I don't think they will rethink it.

Today @chamberofprogress.bsky.social submitted our response to the European Commission’s review of the #DMA. One year in, it’s clear: enforcement is disproportionate, fragmented, and the process for compliance uncertain, leaving European users worse off.
