After Tim Cook donated $1 million to Donald Trump the one whose threatened tariffs and the territory sovereignty of Canada, the recent dealings with Starlink to improve satellite connectivity, the plans to bring back Apple ads to Twitter. All this behaviour from his company is unacceptable.

We need to contact our mps and call on them to table legislation that would force Apple to open up sideloading like how they have done in the European Union. You can find your mp's information here and remember letters to parliament do not require stamps. It's our hardware we bought, we have the right to do with it as we please. We need to open up the phones, tablets and watches.

So that we can have our canadian open-source app store alternative. Where we can support our local talented developers without Apple siphoning off the software sales.
