I recently stumbled across a post in the c/Europe community (https://lemmy.world/post/24641691) that highlighted alternatives to software and infrastructure from Big Tech companies. This got me thinking - is there a similar resource available for Canadians, or would there be interest in creating one?

    We might be better protected using EU services than Canadian. I mean commercial services and the regulations they have to adhere to. Non-profit run stuff like Lemmy.ca (Fedecan) is different.

      You’re right, maybe it’s a dream to have a Canadian GDPR-like policy. I once tried to get Canadian Tire to delete my data and they declined the request. 🤦🏼

        Canadian Tire has a habit of asking for all my personal details when I return an item (still in box, unopened. WITH the receipt). I politely tell them it’s never going to happen, and that my personal info is protected by Canadian privacy laws. They usually just nod and do the return.
