Why is this sub just CBC news stories? Does a bot add them all? They are mostly empty with no comments. Makes for a strange feed.

Edit: I think I just need to figure out which way to sort my feed. Sorting by hot gives me almost all CBC.

Edit 2: CBC is great. I am commenting on the state of c/Canada, not the quality of CBC

Be the change you want to see.

Oof, it would be hard to say that out loud with a straight face. But it has some merit.

Most of the posts here are by a small group of people kind enough to repost stuff from their RSS feeds or other aggregators.

Any relevant content is appreciated at this early stage. And only a small percentage of an already small group comment on any platform. As the numbers grow we should see more interaction.

    Because of this comment, Im going to comment on every post I see, hopefully I start some conversations... That always entertained me with Reddit reading 2 people talking about some small pointless thing

    What do you think about Taylor Swift not having any Canadian tour dates?

    Personally I think it is nothing short of an affront to our Canadian honour, and we should organize a militia to do something about it. I suggest our militia track down her ex boyfriends and start an anti-Swift club.

    Even if she did come, she'd just play in Toronto and Montreal anyway. I don't know why the Alberta MP thinks the west would even be worth her while.

    Did the Alberta MP want her to perform there? That actually makes sense. It would legitimize the area as a go-to destination for artists, and with how famous and sparkling alabaster white-and-blonde Taylor is, I'm sure there's a lot of local politicians who'd want to spin that into a lot of meaning for their base.

    You can see who posts stuff and go look at their profiles. There's onlya few posters here right now and they all look pretty human to me.

    I'd also like to point out that as of now (with your post being most recent) only 2 of the last 10 posts here are CBC
