A report summarized by multiple Canadian outlets says three U.S. technology firms account for about 85% of Canada’s cloud market. The coverage links the market concentration to ongoing concerns about reliance on foreign providers for critical digital infrastructure. Separately, the federal government is expected to release an AI strategy this week. All sources describe the strategy as likely to include a pillar focused on building “sovereign AI,” with an emphasis on developing Canadian-controlled foundations and infrastructure for AI capabilities. The articles do not provide detailed methodology or company names in the provided excerpts, but they present the 85% figure as a central point of concern leading into the government’s AI policy release. Overall, the reporting frames the forthcoming AI strategy as an effort to address issues of control and capacity in AI development, while the cloud-market concentration highlights the current level of dependence on U.S.-based providers for cloud services.
