Grateful for volunteer outreach telling someone else about this idea
Here is a quick question for you that might require time to answer fully if you like.
Why have you not yet encouraged someone else to add their name to The Petition for a Canadian National Online Public Library?
Recently some influential foreigners have been loudly joking and talking about taking away Canada’s independence.
An Online Public Library is a public online media content access service.
Nowhere in the world does this kind of service exist yet. Canada can show the world there is a better way to use the internet other than depending on huge powerful private firms to provide access to online media content.
No need to name them, these firms have polluted the media environment with third party advertising, hate, lies, and have put up paywalls blocking the poor from access to the best online media content. Disturbingly these firms have become the vehicle for billionaires to drive politics.
It is not working well for democracy to have billionaires owning and controlling the systems that give the electorate access to existing information.
It is not working well for some Canadians who want access to the best news, information and entertainment to be depending on a foreign billionaires who choose to dictate what stories are elevated or muted in our online media feeds.
It is not working well for climate action activists to have to face a paid for tsunami of greenwashing propaganda.
To be independent as a Country we need to have our own independent online National content access service. To have a strong democracy we need our own independent National Online Content Access Service and this service needs to be democratic.
Please help in 2025 to make this a key issue.
