This is **super** exciting!
After years of Canadians on Fedi being frustrated by party leadership (aside form the Greens, to be fair) basically ignoring this network of platforms (for various good and not-so-good reasons), I am pleased to say that we now have TWO of the NDP leadership candidates on Mastodon. While Tony McQuail can claim the "First here" medal - having opened his account on .social back in October, front-runner Avi Lewis' account on mstdn.ca (created just a few days ago) already has more follows and followers, and not for nothing, chose the biggest Canadian instance, so we know he's taking data sovereignty as more than a slogan.. 😉
We've been complaining for years, so let's show 'em how happy we are that they're finally here, peeps!!
Avi Lewis can be found at https://mstdn.ca/@avilewis
Tony McQuail is at https://mastodon.social/@tonymcquailgreenprogressive
