Canadians build great technology. Some of them are sitting in your app store right now, waiting for a turn. From email to streaming to ride apps, each of these alternatives is Canadian-owned and operated. (A check mark means I use it myself!) ✅ Our full list is at unplug.todmaffin.com #BuyCanadian

A one-page guide titled "Unplug America" recommending Canadian alternatives to U.S. tech services, listing pairs like ChatGPT → Augure/CanadaGPT, Netflix → CBC Gem/APTN+, Uber/Lyft → Poparide/R-Hero.

On March 26, 2000, the song Blame Canada from South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut was nominated for Best Original Song at the Oscars. But that night something also debuted that became an immediate hit. The I Am Canadian Rant. This is the story. 🧵 1/10

The wonderfully talented Marsh Family has a new parody of Alanis Morissette's song "Ironic." This will piss off Crybaby Caligula yugely. Isn't he moronic? Don't you think?😅

If people want to take action there's a webform letter opposing Canadian involvement here: www.sierraclub.ca/action-item/... But I also want to know if anyone is organizing protests: bsky.app/profile/cono... Protests are one of the things Montréal (and area) do best - a part of why I love Montréal.

For the people pissed off every time I say that the civil war did sweet fuck all to put an end to slavery in the USA, stop and listen to this. Slavery never stopped — it just saw that plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills to change it's face into what we know today as "the industrial prison complex."

Canada just got lectured on forced labour by a country with 12-cent prison wages.
