  • I was considering sync.com, but after seeing Facebook ads for it, I decided to not give them my money if they’re going to pay for Facebook ads. I would still use them over Google or Apple Cloud though.

    I would like to try Windscribe at some point, and also 1Password, whatbox.ca for seeding.

    GrapheneOS is Canadian. I’m hoping to buy a Fairphone 6 at some point, and put Graphene on it

    Wealthsimple Tax (free)

    CohereAI instead of MistralAI whenever I can.

    Qobuz is partially Quebec invested.

    On Bandcamp Fridays, where Bandcamp takes 0℅ of the revenue and gives them to the artist, I include well deserved Canadian artists – especially since I’ve been boycotting Ticketmaster and their large quantity of subsidary companies.

    Using interac when I can. Will even message Canadian companies if I can pay via interac e-transfer instead. Its been warmly welcomed so far.

    https://patrii.cloud/ has been e-transfer by default,

    a bike shop in a remote province was willing to do e-transfer.

    Some other hosting providers https://colocataires.dev/

    Tailscale VPN is Canadian and has a free tier.

    voip.ms is Canadian if you wanted a cheap phone number over voip.













  • Google is becoming more and more a pain the as releasing AOSP. And they’re migrating towards more and more proprietary. I think the worry here is having the work power to keep it updated and maintained.

    I’m guessing the idea is that with this effort, it makes more sense to migrate to Linux phones instead.
