I left r/canada even before I left reddit. The final straw was when I saw links to a report from Citizen Lab, a very respectable Canadian research group at U of T, about a foreign government interfering in Canadian affairs, getting deleted for not being "relevant to Canada."
I got banned for archiving a conservative politicians leadership campaign website and publishing it when they started telling lies about their policy positions.
'Not relevant'
My final ban came when I pointed out a known white supremacist was saying racist stuff. They temp banned me, a mod (a different one, the white supremacist one) challenged me to explain it, and then fully banned me when I didn't reply, which I couldn't do... Because they banned me.
On that subreddit, racist shit was okay but calling something racist was not.
yup. I’ve seen it too.
