House of Commons Petition to have the Government of Canada stop using X.

@jameskoole Signed!! Thanks for boosting it!
@jameskoole As I’m not Canadian, I cannot sign it, but may I advise you to make a similar post on BlueSky? It might get some run there too.
@Anders Already did. And yes, it's getting traction there as well.
@jameskoole But what other social media platform would allow them to make announcements like on Xitter? Oh wait...
As much as I love mstdn.ca, I think there should be an official government instance, mstdn.canada.ca or something. Federation would allow that to be viewed just about anywhere, and you could be more confident in the source.
@jameskoole signed! I should work on a petition for the danish government. I think national governments should set up their own mastodon for agencies and local government like the EU has done.
@jameskoole I like the Canadians!
Says a German who feels a step like this is long overdue in Europe.
@jameskoole@mastodon.social
You'd think that they'd already be moving that direction as part of the Trump tariffs FAFO response. I mean, they already were trying to focus responses on things that especially hurt MAGA and Musk.
@jameskoole I'm sure the Canadian government would be welcome on any EU instance
