The devil is in the details. If you look at the "Lake America" executive order, it includes stuff like preventing US government bodies from engaging in any contracts that refer to the lake by any other name, so they actually start applying substantial pressure on all kinds of organizations to adopt the name or face losing real business. It isn't just an a rose by any other name would smell as sweet kind of deal. It's an a rose by any other name will be cut off from government contracts so get in line and make sure you adopt it or suffer kind of deal for many businesses around the region. This includes any Canadian business that does any work with the US government, which is a lot of businesses.

Except it messes with our stuff because we are so closely tied to the US, and sadly our government has not done enough to seperate us from US infrastructure. I woke up startled from a nap I was having yesterday afternoon and thought I should see what services the RCMP use for things like email. The RCMP use microslop for email, so I started my keyboard warrior stuff writing to my MP when I had the bright idea to check up on official parliment emails and shocker it was microslop as well. Because Redikopp is a back benching conservative I thought I shoud send an email to the minister in charge of the RCMP but than I had this idea to check out the other police services we have at the federal level and all there it lay all out on servers provided by microslop and amazon.

Surely this wasn't a surprise to you, when most corporations, schools and school districts, hospitals, and everything else also use MS.

[-] Reannlegge@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Nope not a surprise, I was just hoping SSC would have their own system.

The days of orgs having their own email are back in the 90s. As an org, you have 2 choices: M365 or Google Workspace. Anything else is more expensive in time or money.

Sounds like we need to start a series of jokes.

Q: What do they call Healthcare in the USA?

A: Crippling debt!

Q: How do they fairly elect a president in the USA?

A: They find the poorest most uneducated people and make sure their votes are worth much more than other citizens!
