  • Get all Government departments and Crown Corporations to cancel Microsoft Office. Use LibreOffice.

  • Get all Government departments and Crown Corporations to cancel Microsoft Windows. Use Linux.

  • Announce a $100 million Canadian fund to support opensource software like Krita, Gimp, Kdenlive, Inkscape. Time to take down Adobe.

  • Cancel the F-35. Buy old F-16s instead. It’s better to have 5 planes that fly than one expensive plane that doesn’t work.
