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.

Since lemmy.ca is federated, you can see content from everywhere. However you also have a lot of control over your feed, and you can either block communities you don't like or (my preference) primarily use the 'subscribed' feed and only subscribe to the content you want to see.

This guide page might help: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/detailed-overview

If you look on !canada@lemmy.ca, we maintain a pinned post with a list of Canadian communities to subscribe to

This instance is hosted in Canada but is not limited to those in Canada. If you’d like to host your own instance that differs from the values of this instance, you are more than welcome to.

That has been happening for longer than both of us have been alive. And it has always been a threat to Canada's culture and self-image.

It's the reason the CanCon regulations exist in broadcasting.

It's the reason there are still some foreign ownership regulations in some industries (and why there were more in the past until Mulroney, Harper and other conservative governments removed them).

It's almost as though the culture and politics of our neighbours are having adverse effects on our country.

Never thought I'd seen Canadians directly combating US hegemony

If you don't want to see international news and politics, specifically those coming out of the largest and most influential economy on the planet that also happens to be our neighbour, you should just log off the internet entirely
