It's very difficult to keep track. I also am not confident news sources can be trusted to provide a full and complete view at this time. We are trying to do what we can to protect our country. We have not yet started an initiative re data sovereignty, but we are starting to look at that for new vendors and favoring non US companies as a result of the actions of Trump. We will consider US vendors if their data residency has a Canadian data centre option and some protection from an unexpected loss of access to our data. We are also reviewing our backup solutions just in case something happens with access to US data.
AI is great at summarizing the list of executive orders to make it easier to stay up-to-date. A simple prompt on Perplexity "can you please summarize the executive orders that President Trump has signed that impact business since January 20, 2025? In your response, please note how these orders can impact the overall process and regulatory environment that impacts small business. Thank you" allows us to know what is going on and what we need to be paying attention to.
We are leveraging a 3rd party non-partisan group to keep us informed on public policies and spaces of interest. We were using this org prior to Trump to focus our efforts on relevant read-outs based on our policy, funding, and organizational objectives.
