Changing The Narrative
Awesome Canadians like you vote directly on what messages they want Canadians to see. GetAwake secures billboards, takes care of all the printing and leg work. All you have to do is DONATE ANONYMOUSLY to the billboard campaign that you want to see. 100% of all funds collected go directly to website costs and physical advertising. All of our fantastic workers are volunteers! If you see a project you like – Share it! Make it go viral and we’ll take care of the rest.
Society is shaped by the thoughts and beliefs of the people. But who shapes public opinion?
Much of the Canadian narrative is carefully created by corporations, government institutions, and powerful special interests. If there’s an agenda to be implemented, you can be sure that scores of high paid consultants are busy crafting and testing messaging to be used on YOU. There’s even a special word they use for it: Nudging which is a nice way to describe manipulating your thoughts and emotions to get a desired outcome. It’s time to NUDGE BACK, Canada. Instead of reacting to what someone else wants for us, lets create the Canada that we want and deserve together!

To be part of the social consciousness your message has to be seen everyday and consistently. Online platforms are now widely censored. Within social and media platforms, algorithms create information silos where what you see is governed by what you like to see. If you like cats, your feed if full of cat videos. The algorithm feeds you what you most interact with, and keeps you separated from those who disagree with you. If you want to reach out to all Canadians you must cut through the online censorship and control.
Canadian Discourse
Politicians act in their own interests. They only support views they know will be accepted. Views that will be accepted are decided in popular culture. Popular culture is largely decided and influenced by outside forces and special interests.
How the Canadian narrative is created and delivered to Canadians today:
The Overton window is a concept describing what views are politically acceptable. By moving the Overton Window on specific issues, Canadians regain control of our public discourse, our laws, our culture and our country.
GetAwake allows Canadians to directly take part in moving the Overton Window. Our goal is to put the power and influence directly in the hands of Canadian citizens, reducing the control of special interests and outside powers.
