Now's a pretty good time to end Microsoft licenses and other crap ass US platforms 🥰

I will be so pissed if Carney or anyone negotiating folds on anything. The US started all of this shitstorm. We (Canada) are the aggrieved party in this situation, we were following CUSMA, the US broke that agreement. Fuck the USA. Fuck concessions to the USA. They can fuck off into the Sun. I don't want or need Netflix, amazon, airbnb, Uber, google, azure, microsoft, apple. I could care less if those companies pull out of Canada.

The government and a lot of other companies are absolutely incapable of not using Excel and Azure services. It's possible they could teach people new tools but databases, tables, excel files, VBA stuff, SQL etc... Is just not going to get changed. Alternatives are way too expensive and the sheer amount of work to make sure every single ETL rule is followed would be absolutely insane. The cybersecurity alone will make it a no go.

No AI will not solve this.

You don't need excel, you could convert to libreoffice spreadsheets, there may be a few functions that need adjustment, but I have found its pretty much feature for feature. There are also so many SQL derivatives mariaDB, mySQL, postgresSQL. There would be a few pains, but as Europe has already realized we need data and software sovereignty

Postgres is very cheap.

VB is garbage and anything using it should have been scrapped decades ago.
