Thank you for a comprehensive article. With regard to digital sovereignty, I infer that ANY US software component into a Canadian sovereign cloud creates vulnerabilities. Are there many non-US software options? I’m not much of a computer nerd.
By default, US software puts you at risk, but it all depends on the type of software. If you are using software with no network connectivity, then you don't really have to worry about sovereignty concerns. 1Password is an example of a Canadian password manager. Most Canadian software will be niche and there aren't many general-use software applications that I know of. One of the bigger problems is that the company needs to just operate in the United States and comply with them, they don't just have to be from the United States.
