Canadian here - canceled Amazon Prime, and deleted Meta's Facebook and Messenger. I also canceled my Norton subscription and will be replacing it with Avast. I'm canceling Google One cloud storage and have changed my default search engine to Quant.
I know I'm just one family, but if we all do this kind of stuff, what a world it would be!
No need to make anything up. We share a land border with Denmark (Hans Island), and we have two little islands off of Newfoundland that are the territory of France (St Pierre and Miquelon). We're really just far, far, western Europe. 😀
I absolutely agree this will impact all of North America, but equating the US with North America is simply incorrect.
I just like how Americans always seem to think they have the freedom to move to any country they want.
As a simple Canadian man having been to Niagra Falls several times, I defy humanity to engineer a way to pump that much water.
Thanks for the tip - hadn't heard about the Avast news, and wasn't aware Windows Defender might be sufficient. I'll look into it.
I'll confess to still using WhatsApp, cause I don't have it in my heart to force my 80 year old mother to learn signal.
Oh - and I'm replacing gmail (email and calendar) with Proton. I think the CEO isn't great, but it's a very similar service, and it's not US based. Any recommendations for alternatives to Android and Apple? I'm getting less comfortable with how much data Google has (and I don't like iOS).
