Hey Canadian #Mastodon and #Fediverse-ers. You probably heard that @potus turned on Fediverse connectivity.

For bilateral relations to be optimal, Justin Trudeau had better join the Fediverse as well, right!?

Sign, Boost and Share this petition to get the Government of Canada to create a Fediverse presence for the PM (@ pm @ social.parl.gc.ca?) and all officials!
And American friends, now that Joe’s dipped his toe in, can you get him to join the Fediverse for real?!

@chris @potus I thought the point of mastodon is that it’s for nerds not politicians. Wasnt that what made the early internet good? Eh?

@borismus @potus haha, what aboot nerd politicians?

@chris while I could see this making sense for the accounts of specific offices (i.e. so long as their name isn't in the handle), I suspect we'd be better served by MPs getting their accounts hosted by their own party.

@rkniner They may end up with both. Ideally if they are elected an MP would get a social account automatically like they do an email. But they would not be able tlo use that for campaigning, for campaigning they would eother use their own personal account or a party account.

@chris throw that campaign account on a party server and I'm sold (well, truth be told I've already signed the petition)

@rkniner done and done then! Thanks for signing! Please do share it around by any other means you might have as well.
