I just found this when looking for Canadian alternatives. Anyone else hear about gander? I'm doing my best to support home grown and open alternatives but I have to choose what I am doing on the platform. It's unlikely that my older family will ever leave Facebook, but honestly, what do I miss by not being present there? Birthday posts on my wall and the latest vacation picture...

That's from their FAQ

How is Gander financed?

Right now we're a bootstrapped company, supported by our own time investment, and the early investment from friends and family. We expect to raise impact funding after our Beta launch, and to seek support from Government programs where possible.

As for monetization, we're exploring a number of avenues including subscriptions for additional features, shared revenue models with creators, and ethical forms of advertising.

I.e. a Canadian Facebook.
