Article describes Eurostack as "A joint initiative involving academics, policymakers, companies and governments, it envisions an independent digital ecosystem that better reflects European values — democratic, sovereign, inclusive, transparent, respectful of personal privacy and innovation-driven."

It goes on to say "Canada receives no mention in the Eurostack proposal" And it does 't say Canada has expressed any interest. But Canada should consider this.

The sooner countries prepare for a broken America the better off they'll be when it happens.

>that better reflects European values — democratic, sovereign, inclusive, transparent, respectful of personal privacy and innovation-driven."

This is very rich coming from the same Eurocrats who are pretty much persistently working to subvert private, secure communications, E2E encryption and other key privacy protections, all in the name of half-baked bullshit about stopping crime and protecting the kiddies.

Not that US bureaucrats don't do similar, but it's worth pointing to this kind of moral smugness about something non-existent.

Also, innovation-driven? So, how's that European start-up culture doing so far?
