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.
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.
