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.

    It’s actually possible to create local only communities, which would restrict access to users on lemmy.ca. While that doesn’t completely do what you’re looking for since Canadians on other instances won’t be able to see it, it might help somewhat?

      On the contrary, it just perpetuates the problem. It does not stop the insidious creep, it just pretends it is not there. Like burying one’s head in the sand. The trick is to stop it from happening in the first place. Americans are quite adept at doing it in their own country (blocking out and filtering the influences of the rest of the world on their culture) so why can Canadians not do the same thing?
