CBC is pausing their Twitter use. Now would be a good time to email their PR team or your local shows and suggest they try Mastodon.

The CBC PR team can be emailed at cbcpr@cbc.ca.

' Often, when we give a blank map of the surrounding areas to Inuit who are helping us [they] have no problem recognizing and identifying features on the map, going only from their recollections of the land and what their families have described to them in words or in songs — without otherwise having used maps. They’ll even correct you, explaining something like, “there should be a lake there, but it’s not on your map.” '

Mapping traditional place names in Canada’s North

The staff of the Inuit Heritage Trust is racing across Canada’s North to document traditional Inuit place names before much of that knowledge passes on with the elders who hold it. Canadian Geographic sits down with lead researcher Lynn Peplinski.

FYI for anyone in the USA with #Type1Diabetes or #Type2Diabetes, and who is struggling to afford insulin.

Canadian pharmacies will ship to the US. Even with shipping, the cost is dramatically lower.

I like, and our son has ordered from, Marks Marine Pharmacy. He had insulin shipped all the way to Texas multiple times without an issue. The staff is incredibly helpful! They'll give you a price over the phone or via live chat.

Thank you Canada! 🇨🇦

Although Jesse Brown from the Canadian news / podcast company #CanadaLand has said he has no plans to come to #Mastodon I still think it is worth while to give them a plug here.

https://www.canadaland.com/

I have donated to this podcast, from almost the beginning. I initially started because I really enjoyed his #CBC radio show (which was unfortunately cancelled)

Show Jesse that Mastodon is worth joining by subscribing & donating:
