In a move that I didn't see get any mainstream press coverage, although I learned about it through the Fediverse

I have some evidence that mods on the major Canadian subreddits actively censor and push specific political and ideological points. I have built tools to track it too.

Great initiative, good on you! I'd love to see some preliminary data some time. I remember testing whether reddit geo-blocked "mail order marijuana" to Canadians around 2020, and sure enough they did. I've been off reddit for 2 years since the API debacle. Are mods on the major Canadian subreddits users or employees? If users, how/why are they so motivated to censor and promote certain narratives? Are they selected for the role based on their activity (e.g., they're already pro 'freedom convoy') and then retained (and motivated to stick to certain narratives) through ongoing relatively small monetary gifts?
