Don’t know who needs to hear this but if you have stuff in the cloud that is not in your own country and is living on some US server, you need to fix that asap. If you’re in Canada, you need to move your data and servers to Canada.

Some possibilities, points to look at: 1. He's being cautious—playing the political long game OR 2. He's still politically weak to launch an all-out offensive versus Sara at this point in time. Marcos needs BOTH houses of Congress (House and Senate) to be fully on his side.
