  Tonight, on day one of #DougFord 's planned removal of #Toronto bike lanes, protesters successfully blocked their removal.

  While many governments in Europe are migrating away from US software towards #Linux and various #FLOSS alternatives, back in January, the Government of #Canada renewed their contract with Microsoft for another 7 years at a cost of $940 million. The idea that #MarkCarney is trying to promote #digitalsovereignty is complete and total bullshit. #cdnpoli https://www.canada.ca/en/shared-services/corporate/about-us/transparency/publications/enables-modern-accessible-service.html
