Over the past 4 or 5 decades I've noticed across this country there has been a drop in Canadians voting for governments who support the most vulnerable; subsidized housing, financial support, etc...we are abandoning our sense of community spirit, our social democracy.
Truly discouraging and disappointing.
Millions, yes that many, are barely surviving, living in squalor; crammed together in basements, or aging and crumbling social housing. in unsafe unsanitary conditions. or are on the streets.
The shortage of old subsidized housing units has increased wait lists up to 12 years in some areas.
Meanwhile Canadians are falling for political rhetoric of trickle down economics that is really, trickle down selfishness, or , the Americanization of Canada .
A country is judged by how it treats its most vulnerable, we are failing--and polls say we are one of the best, the most free but are we when we leave people trapped in despair due to extreme poverty?

Take it apart, then examine and gently clean the sensor .
Reassemble and reset, then it might work again.

Maybe there are some #Canada based #fediverse devs already working on this, but I so wish there was a publishing platform that was #ActivityPub and #socialweb first, and specifically for public institutions in
Very similar to how #Ghost works (built-in to core). Followable anywhere on the social web. Bus route updates, water restriction updates, weather alerts...one domain per municipality, difft accts per agency.
This is a national security issue if Musk & Co can cut off our govt comms.
