Some Canadians joined Instagram, TikTok, and everything else—but deep down, they still use social media with pure early-Facebook energy.
1. They Still Post Full Life Updates
Vacations, family events, home projects, new jobs—everything gets a proper written status instead of a quick photo dump or story.
2. They Treat Facebook Marketplace Like a National Institution
Buying furniture, selling random electronics, negotiating over used snow tires—Marketplace became a daily habit instead of just a feature.
3. They Still Wish People Happy Birthday Publicly
Not just texts—actual wall posts with full messages.
For them, birthdays still feel like a public internet event.
4. They Share News Articles Without Adding Commentary
Classic Facebook behavior: dropping a link with no explanation and assuming everyone else will understand the point immediately.
5. Their Feed Is Mostly Community Groups
Neighborhood updates, local buy-and-sell groups, lost pets, weather warnings, town drama—Facebook still feels more local than entertainment-focused to them.
6. They Still Log In Mainly to “See What Everyone’s Up To”
Instead of scrolling for trends or creators, they use Facebook like a digital version of casually checking in on people from school, work, or the neighborhood.
