There is demand for social media that is, well, pro-social. As in "not owned by shady oligarchs or literal white supremacists". As in "adheres to ethical and legal parameters and isn't just trying to drive you insane for profit".

Canadians want that. Enough to put up our own cash to see it happen.
I invested in Gander and all I got was this lousy t-shirt… I mean equity (we aren’t doing merch).

We officially surpassed our goal of $1.5M CAD in equity crowdfunding last night, and we're now 1,800 Canadian co-owners in Gander Social.

Crazy.

CBC is public media—owned by Canadians, not the government.

If it were propaganda, Poilievre wouldn’t want to kill it—he’d want to use it.

CBC holds power to account. That’s why they fear it.

This is exactly why we fight to save the CBC. Now more than ever, we need strong, Canadian voices behind our media. We need a powerful counterweight to the growing American influence on our media, and our country.

We need the CBC.

What if our tariff response was:

1) make a point of not matching tariffs and say "if you want to raise prices on your people that's your business";
2) cancel every Trump trademark and Musk contract;
3) say we may choose to curtail energy and potash exports if they continue this unlawful trade war.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Once upon a time, if you squinted your eyes a bit and didn't look too close, you could almost say the USA was one of the good guys. There is no veil or filter you can put on now to believe that.

It would’ve been so easy to keep me on Twitter/X. I had 4x as many followers there, and I like big numbers. But seeing the guy who spent $44 billion on that app post “Canada is not a real country” was one hell of a way to get me to delete my account.

All Canadians should contact their MP's and tell them that counter-tariffs should be specifically targeted at the American auto industry. That puts tens of thousands of American jobs at risk. Hit the fascists hard.
