Living without American software would be fine IMO. American silicon is much harder to replace though.
Comment on Can other countries impose sanctions on the US?

Get the EU and Canada on chip manufacturing and remove the American anti circumvention laws and get the hackers on jailbreaking their tech.

Kind of funny how you said that to no Google, then posted a YouTube link.

Try selling this idea to the rest of your country’s population.

Canada is already working on cutting American ties and strengthening relations with the EU. Local stores have drastically changed their stock since Canadian citizens stop buying American groceries. Now that Trump bombed Venezuela it’s only going to accelerate the process.

Have they? Beyond, small, local measures, I haven’t noticed much difference. We still are trying to buy the F-35, we’re just as committed to American software and financial institutions and have no plans nor initiatives to transfer away, we’re doubling down on fossil fuels, much of which will go to the US, and we don’t really even (accurately) label which products are Canadian or not. I don’t know of a single government-led or funded initiative to reduce reliance on the US.
