    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.

          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.
