Every jurisdiction could easily have their own instance.

I'd opt for a Canada Wide gathering of services under one organization like Fedecan, only to help with organizing funding and finding resources to help with maintenance and stuff. But at the same time that's kind of putting all your eggs in one basket.
Eh, split the difference and do it at the provincial/territorial level?
I dunno. Some provinces don't have the same priorities. It would create inequalities.
The communication networks in this country have shown we shouldn't do the one basket idea.
I do think every jurisdiction would be a bit much (infrastructure wise).
But setting up an instance for every prov/ter would be good if the feds also had their own.
There will be discrepancies across instances, but I think if they all federated, you could see a more coordinated effort to make things equitable for the country.
The concerns of northern Manitoba are not all the same concerns of southern New Bruinswick. But a person NFLD can have a better understanding of what people on Vancouver Island are concerned about.
I think the provincial model might have the most promise, but this is an inexpert opinion.
Of course! We're just throwing ideas here.
If we're going that route, maybe it would be worth having a Confederation of federated social networks where we could establish nation wide standards, recommendations for hosting, have documentation and a network of volunteers to help.
That sounds pretty good to me.
