As the article later admits, OVH is also a Canadian company, this isn't some random inter-country battle. Weird clickbait title spin.

where do you see this? I see:

> The company is a French entity headquartered in Roubaix. While there is a Canadian subsidiary, Hebergement OVH Inc., in Montreal, it operates as an independent legal entity. As revealed in court documents obtained by heise online, the Canadian subsidiary has no technical access to the parent company's data, which is stored in European data centers.

Sounds like Canadian subsidiary is basically a re-seller, sharing a brand name.
