Why are most of the posts on this CANADIAN site about events that are happening in America? This insidious creep of American culture and foreign policy is what is in fact ‘Americanizing’ Canada. If all we read about is from America, no wonder we lose site of the Canadian identity.
For example, the largest IBM manufacturing assembly plant in the WORLD for their semiconductors is in Quebec. How many Canadians know that? Part of the insidiousness, Canadians know more about America than we do about ourselves, and this CANADIAN site doesn’t do very much to change that. Most posts on Canadian sites still carry the undertone of American dominance in Canadian affairs and economy.
Believe me I want the same thing, and I’d imagine most people here want the same. The solution is to post more of what you want to see so others can learn from it. There’s no entity here deciding what content people post
I didn’t know about the IBM plant, and if you want to make a post about it in !canada@lemmy.ca or some other community, I think it would be cool for more people to know about it
Did you know that the University of Waterloo, Canada, is the Western world leader in quantum computing? The trick for Canada is to prevent Google and Alphabet from claiming OUR success stories and accomplishments as their own.
