Two years ago Meta blocked Canadian news. I built a workaround.
ShareTheNews.ca lets you share Canadian news on Facebook, with proper headlines and previews — just like before the ban.
Annexation and U.S. threats to our sovereignty are real, but an even more pressing danger is our cultural absorption and loss of national cohesion.
For many Canadians, verified news has largely vanished from everyday life. But most don’t even know the ban exists.
One in five of us are aware that news is blocked in the places where so many continue to spend the bulk of their online lives.
Provincial election turnout is in decline. Some party leaders are doing more media with U.S. outlets than Canadian ones. And our recent federal election edged us closer to a two-party system than ever before.
We didn’t just lose news from our feeds two years ago — we are losing our sense of a shared story.
That's why I built ShareTheNews.
Try it. Use it. Spread the word, and share the news.
