change the recommendation for the GHPIN 1.4 of the auditor general's 2021 final report on the failure at GHPIN from
> > 1.4 The Public Health Agency of Canada should actively seek out partnerships and collaboration to leverage for the GPHIN platform more sophisticated technology and methodology used by different sectors, including academia and the private sector, while ensuring retention of key intellectual property and the ability to modify and improve the system in a timely manner.
to
1.4 The Public Health Agency of Canada should actively seek out partnerships and collaboration to leverage for the GPHIN platform more sophisticated technology and methodology used by different sectors, including academia and the private sector, while using free software, run on publicly owned infrastructure, sharing data with canadian academia under free licenses
or something like it
generally (from fb):
> In other words what they are really talking about by using the term "intellectual property" is the use of outsourcing contracts to restrict what GHPIN can do with their own data, and what academics can use of *their* data using things like reachthrough agreements[3]. Their use of software/platform from the unfortunately named proprietary OpenText was the problem -- they are yet another example of a government organization that relied on proprietary software from a vendor as a central point of failure. This reliance on outsourced IT infrastructure (which, incidentally occurred under Harper's watch) was part of why GPHIN was allowed to fail. It's a lesson that GHPIN hasn't learned yet, since their solution to "OpenText" was to originally bring in more infrastructure in-house to Shared Systems canada, but that failed, so they went back "to the cloud". AKA someone else's computer system, probably Amazon/Google.
> We should ensure that the software that they use is free software, run on canada's *own* infrastructure and not "the cloud". Trusting "the cloud" when the US is capable of turning off canada's access to it is a huge mistake.
ie : what canada has been trying to do since 2021 or so is migrate GHPIN "to the cloud", and to restrict what academics can do when they work with GHPIN. Both of these things are broken and shortsighted, and we should stop both, and fix the issues that would cause either to be a problem rather than group the whole set of problems under "intellectual property"

edited from fb:
The canadian government's official stance, as of the Martin liberal government in 2005, was that Canada "partners with countries that torture" (as covered by newsreal 184[1]).
This list was updated a few years later[2] explicitly to include the united states [And surprise surprise now head of the PPC maxime bernier complained about this] who by that point was undeniably involved in torture beyond 'just a few bad apples'.
I don't see this list listed anywhere anymore -- at some point perhaps during the harper years the list was scrubbed(?). According to openparliament[4] the NDP tried to propose that global affairs canada maintain such a list[perhaps to replace one that was scrubbed], but that bill was shot down.
Especially given the expansion of the US torture program[5] since 2005, the continued promotion of US officials who were directly involved in it, and Trump's explicit support of torture (and his increasing willingness to use it on his political enemies), alongside canada's still-existing extradition agreement[see previous posts in this thread] it is worth considering that we should take steps towards the minimization of the chance of canadian citizens being tortured by the US government and one of those steps is going to be : reverting the 2005 martin government policy of explicitly partnering with countries that torture. Canada not only doesn't have to have this policy, but it has agreed, in the 1984 convention against torture and other international agreements that we would take steps *against* this.
So with this in mind here's what the government of canada should consider doing (and this should *explicitly* be considering as our response to trump's on-and-off-again tariffs, and as an excuse to drop our own retaliatory tariffs)
A) reinstate the list, if it has been gotten rid of by harper/trudeau, perhaps at global affairs canada as the NDP originally suggested. WITH the united states featured prominently on it.
B) if the list does exist somewhere and I just can't find it, it should be made available somewhere more prominent, or at the very least the CBC or something should do a story linking to it so that canada and the world can be reminded that the US is a nation that utilizes torture (which is against international law(see further up this thread))
C) Canada's official policy should be explicitly changed so that we don't partner with countries that torture. Not for sharing intelligence
gained by torture, not in general. It should be a canadian value that we do not condone torture by our "partners" regardless of who it is or why they are doing it. [Anyone with any confusion about this should consult the Canadian Human Rights Museum in Winnipeg I'm sure someone there can explain why this should happen or provide resources for understanding the importance of this]
D) In particular, Maxime Bernier should have resigned over this years ago or should at least publicly apologize for his de facto promotion of US torture and should not be running as a MP again / should be shunned from political life as a quisling.
E) There are legal consequences for those who are in government positions in countries that torture, for those see previous post
Taking a principled stand on countries that torture is a no-brainer for a democratic and free country and it is only due to a kind of politeness and tolerance borne from an unwillingness to rock the boat that our morally bankrupt southern neighbour government has managed to avoid Canada pressuring them on this issue for as long as it has. But the boat is now rocking, and the time for politeness is over. The US torture programs must end, and those involved must be prosecuted. Doing this would surely beat impoverishing canadians and putting canadian businesses in jeopardy with retaliatory tariffs. Canada should, instead of damaging its own economy instead stand up for the rights of canadian citizens to live free from expecting the US government to be able to extradite and torture them.
