      Honestly, Canada seems to be all fluff and no action on these subjects.

      Most of Carney’s moves to safeguard Canada from Murica seem hollow and just for show. Most of the “Canada first” contracts are going to corporations in the States; the whole “Canada Digital Cloud” is Microslop’s Azure with a pinky promise they will defend the data in court should the Murican gov ask for it.

        I was surprised there was no mention of Canada’s Interac system.

        Most of Carney’s moves to safeguard Canada from Murica seem hollow and just for show.

        Tell us again how Mark Carney’s apparent imperfections have anything to do with a system that’s been in use for 20 years.

        You may be surprised to learn that 20 years is more than Carney’s been in the hot seat.

          What the hell are you talking about? there is ZERO chance Canada can move away from Mastercard or Visa without a government initiative

          I like our Interact system and I do agree they may be a great venue to expand into credit brokerage… but there is little chance that would happen without gov sponsorship

          Do you think Europe has made progress in this area driven solely by start ups?
