Our plan right now is that early users will authenticate through Bluesky and access the broader network, but we’ll be layering in our own feed algorithm to surface Canadian content. Over time, we’ll grow to a fully independent feed powered by our Gander’s own PDS.

PP can just log in to Signal. No need for security clearance at all.

Yeah I’ve seen some serious sketchiness that grocery stores are getting up to. Particularly Walmart, it seems.

Interesting! I’ve not seen that one. I’ve seen Product of Canada… specifically on Unico (though it may have been lentils, which apparently Canada grows a lot of). Looking it up now it seems Prepared in Canada really just means “the final bits were done here.”

I’ve been wondering as well. And where are the celebrities? Where are the Woody Harrelson, Matt Damon, and Cardi B videos? Am I just not following? Things seem silent from Hollywood as well.

It sure SEEMS like we’re more unified, but I feel like you’d get a very different answer on X.

I’m starting to wonder if just ignoring the bully as he blusters wouldn’t be a more effective resistance tactic. Let him tariff our goods, make his own country pay that price, and put our energies into building better relationships elsewhere. I’m not sure there’s any coming back from this shit.
