🇨🇦 We are a small team of Canadians trying to convince our politicians and government agencies to stop using U.S. based social media platforms and embrace the Fediverse. We need your help to accomplish this objective and hope you will join us to secure our Digital Sovereignty. Please take part in our communication projects when we ask for volunteers and boost our messages to increase awareness. Follow the hashtag #MastoCanadaGOV for the latest updates.

For your MPP, each province or territory provides a website that lists all members and will offer their contact info. For example, if I visit the Legislative Assembly of Ontario website and put in my postal code, I find that my MPP is the Minister of Red Tape Reduction (can't make that up) and lists her phone number and email address. Although I'm not eligible to win any of our promotional prizes, I'm definitely reaching out to her.

Probably not the best use of time, but I think it'd be fun if we directed a letter writing campaign at Saginaw Valley State University highlighting things about Doug Ford that contradict their reasons for giving honorary degrees.

Speaking from personal experience, this is spot on. The savings ARE STAGGERING. One of our trucks went from $20,000 per year to $3000, JUST IN FUEL COSTS. Never mind the cost of maintaining an ICE vs an EV which is minuscule. #EV #ElectricVehicles #electrification #Electric #Climate #ClimateChange #onpoli #canpoli #fossilfuels

#KeithLeslie is a great political analyst.
He always has a wonderful poignant album cover (check out his collection) over his left shoulder when talking about a political story.
Today's was epic. Led Zeppelin's first album was excellent for his discussion on #DougFord #GravyPlane u-turn.

DoFo has handed media a tasty morsel about Billy Bishop to occupy them during his next rush of heinous legislation. Can he do it? What will it impact? Etc.
I'm not saying he won't do it, he probably will. Let's keep in mind whether it is the most impactful thing he's doing.
For example, his plan to revoke access to cabinet ministers' offices' communications through FOIA requests is going to make it much more difficult to hold this administration accountable in the future.

When I was an undergrad, I took a poli-sci course on ideologies. The prof described conservatism as incoherent (I don't remember any other descriptor), and this is a pretty damned good example.

Most of the #Toronto Police Officers who were arrested on allegations of corruption were from 11 & 12 division, with a comprehensive investigation underway likely to find more.
The #DougFord family is known to have tight connections with the #TorontoPoliceService, trying to appoint his pal Supt. Ron Taverner, of 22 & 23 division fame, just across the Humber river from 11 & 12 divisions, to lead the #OPP, but backtracked in light of the obvious conflict of interest.
Also, we've learned there is a connection between the Internation Drug Kingpin #RyanWedding and the #TPSCorruption scandal.
Meanwhile, the #RCMP is into year 3 in their investigation of the #FordAdministration for corrupt dealings related to the #GreenbeltScandal and related corrupt dealings.
There's also the question of how #RobFord got in with the crowd who sold him the crack cocaine in the first place and Doug's alleged sales connections.
All very suspicious... 🤔

🇨🇦 Hey Canada!
When will we wake up and realize, we are a US vassal state and need to demand our government kick them out and return our resources into Canadian hands!
Another Doug Ford supported American company raping Canada of it's resources and leaving us without safety measures!
