Looking to help a friend from #Vancouver#Canada get set up on Mastodon. Looking at suggesting either cosocial.ca or mstdn.ca. Any recommendations between those two, or other good options?

I'm so bone tired after another day of packing up that POD, so apologies for not replying, or simply replying with a "like." I can barely read, let alone type.
So, with that, I shall collapse, but not before posting another dopey #CountdownToCanada gif.
POD #2 for our furniture comes tomorrow, as do my twins, down from BC to help us! We leave in 5 days! #Canada 🇨🇦
Have a good evening. 😴
"On a fair day in 1838, barely two years into Queen Victoria’s reign [...] a young, confident and handsome Mississauga Ojibway chief named Kahkewaquonaby [...] came knocking at the doors of Windsor Castle dressed in his finest leather from head to toe and asked to make an appeal to his Sovereign. The door was opened and tea and sympathy were offered. [...] The Queen promised to look into the request and in due course the deeds were handed over."
In the UK, I would never have dreamed of voting for the Conservatives, and if lived in Canada, I imagine I would support the NDP.
Nevertheless, this piece, written from what seems to be a Canadian Tory perspective, interested me.
My response stems not only from a fascination with Canadian history and identity/identities, but also from a recognition that social democrats like me should consider rather than dismiss out of hand certain Tory understandings of history and culture.
A little part of me died when I read about those who think that there was a "president of Canada" named Tim Horton.
The #CorrectionalService of #Canada says the 74-year-old Pickton was transported from the #PortCartierInstitution to hospital for treatment, but the agency declined to specify the nature or severity of his injuries
I don't often photograph seascapes. The coast near where I live is protected and so the waves have never had the energy to create large or interesting rock formations. Because it's mostly granite, it also has high erosion resistance. This means most of it is a smoothed rocky surface as seen above, shallow without dramatic changes. Winter storms are the one time that we get enough wave action to create movement.
