#3I mean no public strategy should include secret bills, Palantir or no Palantir.
If you're idealogically opposed to Palantir, how will a home-grown Palantir help? It would likely do the same things Palantir does but with a Canadian Alex Karp

#4What a title. I misread and thought an "AI Vigier" was an official tasked with being vigilant about AI.

Better yet, build a domestic product for government use and tightly regulate and oversee it so that you can be sure it's being used lawfully, only when needed for government use, and only when necessary. Democratic nations have power over their government but not over corporations. I know which one I'd rather have ruling over me and spying on my every move.

#7Canada and domestic product simply not possible
The only two countries who can run domestic products of this kind are USA and China . The rest is just gimmick or a lie.

Palantir's software stack is not really that complex, and their FDE workforce is famously... undereducated. Canada should be able to pull it off, there's much to improve on.

Well there's a clear difference between a creepy company spying on you and a creepy company closely aligned with a government that has threatened to annex you spying on you.
Neither are great, but one is worse.
