CBC News - Technology & Science - Quebec broke law in buying Microsoft software

The question is not really, Why is Québec in the lead here? The socio-political-economic dynamic that is Québec mandates an independence that other Canadian provinces seem unable to adopt. I think of Ontario, which has, as far as I can tell, dithered about Foss and OpenOffice.org and has, repeatedly, introduced points that are simply immaterial and at best distracting.

Meanwhile, the provinces suffer the heavy penalty exacted by their systematic refusal to consider Foss; and the residents suffer even more. All this at a time when the economics should demand economic sense and foresight, not legacy nonsense.
