Allowing an american hedge fund to take over most Canadian newspapers was a huge mistake.

Good list. Just wanted to add a thought about search engines as well. I've been using Kagi (it's a paid service) which has the option to customize searches to pin, raise, lower, or block sites. I have most of the post media sites blocked (as well as a lot of US media sites) and sites like thetyee, cbc, france24, etc set to raise to the top. No ads, ai turned off, search is a pleasant experience now.
Edit to add: it is American unfortunately, but it's the best search engine I've found. I've been operating under the adage "don't let perfect be the enemy of good" so after cutting ties with the vast majority of US companies, there are still a couple I send money to, like Kagi and Signal.

The EU alternative to Kagi however I don't use paid searches so I can't comment on them.
First I'm hearing of it, I'll give it a look. Thanks!
