1/2 🎯 Today’s the day: Giving Tuesd’eh! 

This is Canada’s answer to Giving Tuesday — a day to invest in Canadian stories, local news, and cultural sovereignty.

1/2 🚀 Tomorrow is Giving Tuesd’eh! 

Why Giving Tuesd’eh? Because Canadian culture, news, and stories matter — and we need to defend them from Big Tech greed and foreign dominance.

Thanks to Canadian storytellers, we have a voice that sounds like us.

Let’s remember what we’re protecting — and why it matters.

1/2 🗞 When our newsrooms close, communities lose their voice.

Protecting Canadian stories isn’t nostalgia — it’s survival.

1/2📣 As #NationalNewspaperWeek wraps up, one truth stands out: Local journalism matters.

It informs us.
It connects us.
It holds power to account.

1/2 👀 Who’s keeping watch at city hall?
⚖️ Who’s reporting on the courts?
🗞 Who’s telling our local stories?

Local newspapers are democracy’s watchdog.
Without them, accountability fades — and misinformation spreads.

🗞 Local journalism keeps us connected — from high school sports to city hall debates.

Without it, communities lose their voice. With it, democracy flourishes.

This #NationalNewspaperWeek, remember: when local news thrives, we all thrive.

1/2 Our friends at Canadian Anti-Monopoly Project show how Google & Meta’s ad monopoly fuels disinfo & threatens digital sovereignty. Another reason we need stronger rules to rein in Big Tech’s power.

1/2 It’s good to hear Minister Steven Guilbeault take a strong position in support of Canadian cultural sovereignty and local news. But words aren’t enough — Canadians need action to ensure our newsrooms and national public broadcaster are protected.
