jrklaus8 plugs Mike into Canada's legal data sources

The mike-Canada fork now reaches out to live Canadian case-law feeds instead of relying on whatever's bundled in.

searchintegration

This is the clearest Canada-specific work in the fork so far. The team wired Mike to pull from real Canadian legal databases - including A2AJ, an open Canadian case-law project, and a court-data service - using a now-standard plumbing layer for connecting AI assistants to outside data sources. The notes even point to how you'd self-host the underlying database for data sovereignty, so Canadian records stay on Canadian infrastructure.

Worth a clear-eyed read, though. As built, the queries still travel through a US-hosted AI service, which sits awkwardly against that same sovereignty pitch, and the connections auto-approve every external call without a human checkpoint. The endpoint list and setup notes are the real value here for anyone building Canadian legal tooling.

So what Anyone building or buying legal AI for the Canadian market should clock these data sources - and weigh the residency trade-offs before copying the wiring.
