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.

Yes and try out a BSD, folks! Choices (in no particular order):

So why choose BSD over Linux as an open source operating system to run on your computer? Because BSDs feel much more cohesive as operating systems! Every Linux distribution I’ve ever used had the feeling that it was still sort of a cobbled-together patchwork of software with a package manager and repository to maintain it.

BSDs, on the other hand, feel like they’ve been designed as a unified whole by a group of people whose goal is to build an operating system. With this comes better organization and documentation. BSDs also include software projects that are written specifically for the operating system.

If you try a BSD and start to like it, you may want to check out BSDCan, North America’s Largest BSD Conference. This year’s conference already took place in mid-June but all of the talks have been posted to the BSDCan YouTube Channel.

Lastly I want to say that if you’re very comfortable with Linux as your daily driver OS but still potentially interested in BSD, you can always give it a try on a spare computer. All of the above BSDs (except DragonFly) will run on a Raspberry Pi, for example.
