Several of you have suggested that Canada’s Boadcaster, the CBC, should follow the BBC’s lead and set up its own Mastodon server. To further this idea, I’ve written the following letter to CBC President Catherine Tait.
Feel free to use the letter as a template if you would like to do the same. She does not appear to have a public email address, but you can reach her by using the CBC’s contact form: cbc.radio-canada.ca/en/contact

@jd Thanks!

Did CBC return to X, after Pierre Poilievre told Elon Musk to label them as "state media", then when Musk did that Poilievre went on to brag that "Now the world knows that the CBC is STATE PROPAGANDA!", and the CBC disabled their account on Twitter?

If so, I am very disappointed. :(

@ned
Yes, they still have a presrnce over there.

@jd I'll never forget this. How Poilievre colluded with a multi-billionaire in the US to discredit our National institutions in Canada. I can't believe the CBC would forget so easily.

I don't think that the CBC forgot.
It's just that their goals of broadcasting widely were better met by being on Twitter than not.
