Today I sent emails off to my privacy agencies around my Province, and my MLA’s (Member of the Legislature Assembly) to get elected officials off of US social networks. Suggesting they move to things like Mastodon and PeerTube.

Welcome and thank you for coming from Reddit, I have not deleted my posts but I have been considering doing a copy and paste for them all saying something like I have moved to Lemmy.
I called up my TV provider in early 2025, when they did their whole let’s make a deal thing I just said that “I am not going to pay for US channels!” That was the fastest chicken challenge I had ever pulled with them to get out of paying more for TV. All I used it for was having the ability to occasionally watch news, if something major was happening and to watch the CFL, or maybe to sign in to a channel’s app to catch up on previous episodes of new TV shows. I now pay for CBC Gem and TSN during the CFL season, I would more than willing to pay for Global TV and CTV if they made more Canadian content rather than just airing US shows. The fact that Corus cannot do that is their problem.
Hopefully we see more officials on Mastadon not ~~just~~ Bluesky
Remember Canada doesn’t lose wars, we invent new war crimes!
Take the Book of Faces out of the series of tubes in Canada.
Yes turn the book of faces in Canada
Wish all government agencies in Canada would.
Oh awesome something on GaurdTheLeaf’s youtube video today got me to post on their Reddit page suggesting Mastodon and Lemmy, so when I saw this I suggested that Avi Lewis make the switch. Glad to see they already are on Mastodon.
I am so glad I am here in Canada, and have moved most of my data to Canadian and FOSS services. Then I use multiple levels of ad blocking.
I feel so old, it feels like only a few years ago that Centennial Auditorium became the TCUP not over 20!
And I hear you about the name changes “damn you capitalism!”
Yes but I am reaching out to privacy agencies, I am going to try and push them that way. I am going to hatch that egg or shake an egg out of a chicken.
Once the government is off of X, or BlueSky the media will be forced to follow. Showing people other options is the way.
