Just came across this CEO Pledge thing from Canada – basically a bunch of major company leaders (including Ken Seitz from Nutrien, Darren Entwistle from TELUS, and others) are actually getting serious about digital inclusion. Over the past 3 years they've donated more than 127,000 IT assets to people who actually need them. Low-income families, seniors, Indigenous communities, refugees – people who'd otherwise be completely locked out of the digital economy.

What's kind of interesting is how they're doing it. Instead of just throwing old computers in landfills, they're refurbishing them through this Computers for Schools Plus program and redistributing them across Canada. It's like a second life for corporate tech while addressing e-waste at the same time. They're even hosting some kind of high-level CEO/CIO event in April to talk about scaling this up.

I don't know, feels like one of those rare moments where corporate responsibility actually translates into something tangible rather than just a press release. Curious if this model could work elsewhere or if it's just a Canadian thing.
