A New Social Network Built for Canadians, by Canadians.
Bringing Canada together in one digital home.
Canada Platforms is a brand-new social network designed to unite our cities, communities, local businesses, and people in a way no platform ever has. Built with the vision of giving Canadians our own digital space — one that isn’t controlled by foreign tech companies — Canada Platforms is a community-driven, homegrown platform focused on connection, discovery, and strengthening Canada’s digital independence.
This is the beginning of something big. And we’re inviting you to be part of the founding community.
🌎 Why Canada Needs Its Own Platform
For years, Canada’s digital landscape has been dominated by U.S.-based companies. Our news, communication, communities, and online economy depend heavily on platforms that don’t always prioritize Canadian interests — or reflect Canadian values.
As recent events like Bill C-18 and social media news restrictions have shown, Canada lacks digital independence.
Canada Platforms is being built to change that.
We’re creating a social network where:
-
Canadian voices aren’t filtered or deprioritized
-
Canadian communities and cities are showcased
-
Canadian businesses can grow and thrive
-
Canadians get a safe, respectful, locally-focused online space
-
Canada has its own digital infrastructure, developed right here at home
We believe every country deserves a digital ecosystem that represents its people. Canada Platforms is our step toward building exactly that.
📱 What Canada Platforms Is

🏙️ Explore Cities & Communities
Every city in Canada receives its own page — a digital home for:
-

This will unlock a whole digital economy inside Canada Platforms.
