Should the Government of Canada continue to use the bird site to share important official information?

@Paulatics Thank you Senator, and please draw attention to our shared digital information spaces—critical infrastructure—whenever you can.
Canadians need protection from bad actors, foreign and domestic, who'd love for us to check out or turn against each other.
...and it seems like most of us aren't even aware that there is a problem.

@dcdeejay I fear that is all too true.

Good questions.
Certainly X should be excluded, but it is also time to ask if governments at all levels should be relying on politically biased media, such as X, FB/IG, or the commercial newspapers/networks to get messages out. People shouldn't have to use those platforms in order to stay informed.
On the other hand, how can governments get essential information out to publics which increasingly rely exclusively on social media for their news?
