Canada urged to build its own operating system

Original: Canada could save millions by developing its own operating system instead of relying on Microsoft Windows

A new analysis argues that Canada could save millions of dollars by developing a homegrown operating system rather than continuing to depend on Microsoft Windows for government computing. The proposal taps into broader debates about digital sovereignty, licensing costs and reliance on foreign software suppliers, and echoes moves by other governments to favour open-source alternatives.

Why now: Growing concern over public-sector dependence on US tech firms and software costs has put government operating system choices under scrutiny.
