As many of you will know, I’ve been campaigning for more than a year to get the Govt of Canada off X. This week’s Grok nonsense pushed me over the edge - and I said a very bad word! https://www.hilltimes.com/story/2026/01/07/get-the-fk-off-there-mps-senators-call-on-government-to-abandon-x-twitter-following-wave-of-grok-porn/487023/ #cdnpoli #X #Grok
@PaulaticsSenator Paula Simons🇨🇦 social.canada.ca or connect.canada.ca would be nice.
Canada should have a public, federated social space.
A government-hosted Mastodon instance (e.g. social.canada.ca) would support open dialogue, transparency, and digital sovereignty, without ads, algorithms, or foreign platform lock-in.
This is public digital infrastructure, not another social network. This is sovereignty.
If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://hachyderm.io/users/mapache/statuses/115863482154368062 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
