A single outage can shut down half the internet — and that’s a problem. Shane Hewitt and Sam Jenkins break down the ripple effects of the recent Amazon Web Services disruption, exposing just how dependent global systems have become on a few major tech players.

They explore what happens when convenience collides with vulnerability, why redundancy matters, and how Canada could strengthen its digital independence through local cloud infrastructure. The conversation also digs into data sovereignty and personal privacy — asking who really controls your information when everything lives online.
