Hello folks,

This is my first post here. I was just wondering what kind of online services you would be interested in seeing a Canadian alternative for?

Thanks

    Probably going to get flak for this, but AI and cloud.

    We have cheap power, we have some of the best researchers, and regardless of personal feelings there are lots of people greeting high value out of AI.

    I know we have Cohere but it’s really like them to take up the consumer space and mindshare.

    Right now as a country we are pretty much 99% dependent on US tech platforms.

    If Trump signed an executive order to Google, AWS, Cloudflare, and Microsoft to stop providing cloud services virtually every company in the country would be dead instantly. No email to communicate, no servers to provide services, no files since they’re all in clouds.
