Thanks to @leanderlindahl, I was alerted to a monthly event that MastoCanucks should participate in.

I've had a GMail account for 15+ years. Is it time?
@ElbowsUpforDigitalSovereignty
I still have one, but only for corporations that insist on an email to send notifications and junk.
I use a different service for humans.

BTW - there is a Quebec based Canadian email provider. This IS NOT an endorsement - just pointing out a relatively new startup in case anyone wants to take a look.

@EricLawton @ElbowsUpforDigitalSovereignty wow. If very many do that, I guess their AI will start sounding like advertisements. Or have we passed that milestone already?

@ElbowsUpforDigitalSovereignty I’ve done that a few years ago. My official email lives in FastMail now (Australian company)
@fabio @ElbowsUpforDigitalSovereignty I've been using Protonmail for years. Our politicians ahve been aligning with the US so much over the years I just feel better about Europe than I do about Canada when it comes to policies and legislation pertaining to food or tech.

@Rick_d_card @ElbowsUpforDigitalSovereignty I used Protonmail for a few years before switching to FastMail. Proton may be the best choice for privacy, but it’s much worse feature-wise. I may change my mind in the future again, but the important thing is both are better than Gmail.
Bear in mind the Proton CEO has aligned himself with right wing politics recently. This was the reason for me to move - if I can’t trust the company, might as well get better features elsewhere.

@ElbowsUpforDigitalSovereignty Yes. Gmail actually kind of sucks anyway.

@ElbowsUpforDigitalSovereignty Our co is actually looking at setting up email as a product again. Probably won't be ready for a couple months tho.

@mike @ElbowsUpforDigitalSovereignty I ditched it over a decade ago and don't regret it for a moment.
