This post has magically revived itself. Not sure why! But it's great timing!

Gord hasn't made an account on Mastodon yet, but one of his colleages has! @bonitazarrillo_mp Bonita Zarrillo, the NDP MP for Coquitlam is on Fedi! Go follow her and show Canadian MPs we want them here!

@mayintoronto maybe being more concretely against Twitter and given Elon's recent antics, it'll get more of a response than #PetitionE4769 #e4769 last year? https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-4769

Petition e-4769 - Petitions

my thoughts: Mission failed! We'll get 'em next time
 #E4769 #canada

Hmm, the government responded to the get-on-Fediverse petition, and it's with basically a non-answer and zero commitment: https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-4769

Would be nice to have a progressive, tech-literate government...

Petition e-4769 - Petitions

@EricLawton There was a petition #E4769 signed (electronically) by 1014 citizens and presented by #GordJohns to #Canada #Parliament in April. It makes many of the same points.
It's been a few months now but I haven't heard of any action on it.

Petition e-4769 - Petitions

I just hit send on the Open Letter to the Speaker, Clerks of the House and Senate and the Chair of the House Procedures and House Affairs Committee. (and cc'ed to other relevant Ministers, MPs and Senator)

67 signatures included! Anyone can still add one on the web version.

Thanks 🙏 for helping to push this. There may be a third (and final!) push, but it will be Canada only.
THANK YOU!

The #Fediverse will come to ParliamentI

The blog ( @chrisblog) is definitely bending a little when I add another Fediverse address and hit that update button for the Open letter, but it's not breaking! It's a great proof of concept that a wordpress-enabled blog can be connected to the Fediverse and used directly as a communication tool across multiple platforms!

#Fediverse #e4769 #Mastodon #Wordpress #World #CdnPoli #OpenSocialWeb #Lobbying #Canada #Government

This is the next step! We're now taking our request directly to the people inside Canada's Parliament who can make this happen. Specifically the Speaker of the House of Commons, the Clerks of the House of Commons and Senate, the Standing Committee on House Procedures and Affairs, and others.
