World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Thanks to Trump, the Liberals have been gifted the best possible campaign season. Poppinfresh has spent his entire time as leader doing only three things:
Basing their entire campaign on Trudeau
Coming up with stupid three word slogans.
Outwardly and openly styling himself after Trump in order to court our own version of MAGA.
They'd be stupid not to take advantage of it earlier rather than later. It's primed for all this shit to blow up in the Cons faces in an exceptionally hilarious fashion.
Why was Trump good for Ford in Ontario but not good for PP federally?
Because Ford has a personality. And he used it to make a big show about (pretending) to counter Trump, which gave him a boost.
For the most part, not even Conservatives in Canada like Trump. It's a mistake to think that Canadian Conservatives are just "Northern Republicans". Some are. But for the most part, Conservatives here (especially Ontario provincial Conservatives) are still human beings.
Poppinfresh, on the other hand, made his entire schtick about basically copying Trump style tactics. He and his cronies are to federal conservatives what MAGA is to old-school republicans; a hard-right political fringe that is attempting to wrest control of the Conservative narrative by appealing to the same demographics as Trump, clamping down on what Con MPs are and are not allowed to say to the media, personal attacks and three word slogans instead of actual policy, etc...
And it almost worked. For a while it looked like he would succeed. And it's why he was absolutely desperate to get an election before Trump took office; before the idea of a Trump presidency became the reality of a Trump presidency. Because even among Conservatives, Trump's chaos craters the popularity of any politician that seeks to emulate him, which Doug Ford certainly did not do.
