Are you kidding me? They would have renamed all the “St” streets and neighborhoods and removed religious symbols from schools and other public buildings.

But I live in “Ville Marie”, Mount royal has a prominent cross, streets have names like Saint Antoine. Near my house there is a public school with a huge religious statue.

Bill 21 is not pro laicity if the state. For that I’d be in favour. But anything Catholic is “tradition” so it gets a pass.

Oh. That’s because Christianity is tradition.

They’ll find an out the same way they found an out for having religious symbols in public property after bill 21.

Teachers can’t wear religious symbols, you see? But schools, hospitals, streets, etc can have prominent religious symbols and names, I mean, if it’s Catholic it’s tradition, not religion.

“Usually”

Sure.

But there are custoner managed keys which do exactly what I think it does.

Wow. I used to be a lead Enterprise architect for a large corporation. We had some clients who explicitly required, by contract, that the data should be hosted in Canada and only accessed by people in Canada. This included the department of National defense.

Microsoft complied by hosting instances in Canada and we went through hoops to ensure data remained in Canada.

This seems to uppend the game. However, all this information should already be encrypted. Whenever it isn’t, I’m sure corporations are scrambling to fully encrypt (or de-host) data.

I mean, data (at rest and in transit) encryption has been available for other risk vectors. This seems to be no different. If Microsoft/Amazon/Oracle, etc had a backdoor to unencrypt the data, it would create a higher backslash.

For individual users, I don’t think 99% of them care where their data is hosted.
