It's a shame that so much taxpayer money is flowing to US multinationals.
To save money, the solution IS NOT austerity

To save money, get rid of waste.
Every province, every government department, should get rid of Microsoft and Adobe.

Absolutely agree with this. Politicians and those that are in the management position to make real changes have been having it too good for too long and they just want to take the easy way out by saying "it's too hard/too expensive" and spending OUR taxpayer dollars. It's BULLSHIT.
Look around you and see what software these government managers entities actually use? Email/chat clients, MS Word, Excel. What? Why are we still on Microsoft's ecosystem if at all if that's what they use most of the time? The cloud infrastructure isn't even handled by 99% of these politicians and managers. Let the IT people handle it. Any serious IT team should know their in-and-outs of open source software and operating systems.
A lot of other legacy IT mainframes aren't even compatible with Windows and they've only created an UI to 'talk' to the underlying system. There's no reason why it cannot be recreated, if not improved, during the switch. Hell, don't even switch right way, run the systems in parallel. At the end of the day, the real underlying information are just stored in tables - absolutely no reason why it cannot be ported.
The only expense that would be on-going would be on-going maintenance, improvements and updates as legislation changes over time. We need data sovereignty otherwise we're just cucks to US big tech.
