  • Moncton would be fun, and is likely the only other option in the Atlantic. Newfoundland could perhaps manage something in St. John’s, but travel is always a big issue.

    I think we’ll see more of a Halifax - Moncton rivalry materialize in League1 Atlantic, with an eventual upgrade to bring the rivalry to the top tier once a club has more solid footing.

    The real shame is the continued absence of any side in Quebec. Montreal and Quebec City are necessary additions to the league, and the fact that they aren’t top-2 for 2026 remains concerning.

    [email protected] is actually the 2nd or 3rd oldest city-based community on lemmy.ca . It’s not very active, but should definitely be added to this list.

    Also, [email protected] would be a good community to add to the soccer category.

    For team-specific Canadian-based soccer teams, there’s [email protected] of the MLS (US-league with 3 Canadian-based teams). Other MLS sides include Vancouver Whitecaps and CF Montreal, which I don’t think have a community created.

    None of the 8 Canadian Premier League teams, nor any of the numerous League1 Canada sides have taken steps to establish their communities yet (as far as I know).



  • For years, public safety organizations have used Twitter as an effective way to share information with the public in real time, Levy said.

    And for years, rampant misinformation has spread virally in real time thanks to these same actions. The number of times I’ve been stuck in some sort of lock-down because of a supposed shooter in the area, that was actually half-way across town, is just more evidence that social media never should have been used for spreading any sort of official warning about situations.

    This kind of info should be posted to the official site of the organization, and if it’s actually something that people in the area **need ** to know about, sent directly to people’s phones (in a manner similar to the Amber Alert system).
