Same with Canadian “digital sovereignty”, every single critical infrastructure I have seen are fully running and relying on US based companies, not partially, no, the core infrastructure and business relies on them, and no way to change that in at least 20y if I am being optimistic.
So next time you hear this sentence, you should know that you are being manipulated to tax you more or to pass some laws or contracts for certain local companies to gulp your tax dollars, it’s all a joke.

The UK still is in Europe, but it is not in the European Union. Wish people would distinguish between the two. (I was a Remainer by the way!!!)

Both sides have a point. The UK rejected Europe, the cultural entity best represented by the EU, with Brexit. It's still on the Eurasian tectonic plate. But that isn't how we define continents.

Europe is Shrodiger's continent. It's western boundary could be the english channel or Icleand. It's eastern boundary could be the Oder or the Urals. You don't actually know where it begins and ends until you know what policy position you're trying to mislead people into being for against.

Most Americans didn't think of themselves as American until after the Civil War.
