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.

Poilievre is Canada's right-wing aligned with Trump. He will sell us out.
Dudes said nothing but the complete opposite the entire time he’s been leader of the opposition. Bring jobs to Canada, Canada first, ect. This is made up bullshit that he would “sell out” anything.
Read the CPC platform, your opinion will change real quick.
Seems pretty awesome.
Sure if you want canada to end up like the us
Canada needs to do some things like the US, there’s no getting around it.
Getting more resources out of the ground, across the country, and to trade partners is critical. It always has been, and the liberals have opposed this for decades.
The things Mark has done so far that people seem to like are mostly things the opposition has been saying for several years.
Interprovincial trade barriers? Gone. Pipeline across the country? Probably will not happen with the liberals. Carbon Tax? Well, it’s being hidden somewhere else. I could go on.
There’s no reason the think the last ten years of complete stagnation, scandals and lies will not continue especially given a majority of the party remains the same.
I’m more concerned about Carneys global elitist buddy’s at WEF and blackrock then I am about anything Pierre has talked about.
No, we don't need to do like the us. Unless you want fascist. Getting rid of interprovincial trade barriers is good. Pipeline across the country? Not great. The carbon tax was good. The last 10 years weren't complete stagnation, scandals and lies, at least not more than harpers reign. I'm more concerned about Pierre's association and trumpism than carneys WEF contacts
Pipeline across the country is great and very necessary. It absolutely has been stagnation and scandals and lies. Election reform? Arivecan? The “other” Randy? Unhinged spending? Going hard left and attacking peoples rights, attacking unions, ect.
You’re worried about fascism, but support a government that was forcing you to get a vaccination. (Not that its vaccines are bad in any way shape or form). Which is entirely against your rights.
People thinking Pierre is somehow like trump because he uses trumps effective self marketing tactics, need to accept that - as petty as it seems - it works.
The liberals are an abusive relationship. “We promise we’ll change, we swear.”

Canada has been left behind, and it’s our own fault.
No
Yes that part sucked.
....what? Unhinged spending? How? "Hard left"? No... what rights were attacked?
Who was forced? Literally NO one was forced.
They aren't and it doesn't
And that's why Europe and Canada are closer now?
Yes. Pipelines are coming. Mining is coming. 17 years for a permit is ending.
You were forced indirectly and you know it. Don’t want to get a vaccine? Good luck at the border, good luck going to the movies, good luck going to school.
Should we take more firearms away from law abiding gun owners? Or should they spend the money at the border and stop the illegal guns coming in? Should we continue to hand out tax funded drugs at these “safe sites” - which are ineffective, costly and dangerous? Or should be these people be getting help rather then being enabled.
Dude, the liberals spent more money in the last 10 years than every other PM combined. You explain how that’s not unhinged.
Canada and Europe can be closer with trading. Sure, why not. Seems great, it does nothing to create growth in our country if we don’t have things to sell. How much money, jobs, stability would be created just with ontarios ring of fire alone?
You need better news sources. No one was being forced.
I've addressed the gun thing before. If you're law abiding abide by the laws.
Safe injection sites aren't dangerous and they work. Drug addition is a mental health issue, making it safer helps to get them to stop.
The pandemic cost a lot of money
You mean how he was lowering debt to gdp until the pandemic hit?
That’s a very cherry-picked chart. And no, that’s all absolutely incorrect.
What an idiotic comment. The laws the law oh well! It’s unacceptable, and does not solve ANY problem related to gun issues in this country.
Maybe compare BC to Alberta for how drugs are handled. Alberta is an example for the drug pandemic in general, which is surprising.
How long will we blame the pandemic for financial woes? It does not change the underlying problems.
It's not? It's debt to gdp. And no it's not absolutely incorrect. The idiotic comment is bitching and moaning about being a law abiding citizens, and then in the same breath get all pissy about "muh gun rights". Guns aren't a right in canada. The OIC was poorly done imo, but if you're a law abiding gun owner, abide by it?
Alberta's sweep it under the rug isn't a solution. 5 years ago the pandemic started, and it "ended" what 2 years ago? Jfc people born then are still in kinder garden. How long do you think a global pandemic, where capitalist took advantage of everyone, driving the prices higher, will take to recover from?
The underlying problem is right wing government being in bed with the capitalist more so than the left, who at the very least attempt to build social safety nets, and protect the environment from the businesses that attempt to destroy it, right now we have the liberals, who aren't really left anyhow, who are doing better than the cons could, but need to be doing more.
Maybe they need to stop attacking said gun owners with prohibitive lists when THEY ARE NOT A PROBLEM. Legal hand guns? Not a problem. Were they banned from sale? Yeah. Why? Because it’s easy to sell on TV to mom and jimmy that hey, we’re saving you from gun violence. Gun owners have been targeted, unfairly over and over again as a cheep stunt to get votes. It’s old, it’s bullshit and it’s not acceptable. There are real gangs with illegal guns coming in that need to be stopped. It’s disrespectful to all those who are killed by them every time these guys go on a rant about gun safety and ban another rifle. People “bitch” and “complain” because something of theirs is being taken away under false pretenses.
Alberta does NOT sweep it “under the rug”. There is a monitored recovery plan with social interventions. It’s a phenomenal program, and it works very well.
The amount the liberal government spent BEFORE the pandemic was unreal, and during, and after. Now what exactly does Canada have to show for this spent money?
Mark Carney is one person. A rich one person whom is deep in bed with WEF and Blackrock. Two massive red flags. The really problem is most of his cabinet is made up of the same nut jobs that have cost this country countless investments. Steven Guilbeault in particular, and somehow - like magic - the last ten years of virtue signaling and economic sabotage just goes away.
We’re different this time, we promise.
No, they’re not. Just this time he’s richer, has more rich friends, and doesn't have Trudeau in his name.
You, and i are not being attacked. Guns aren't a right in canada, they are a privilege. Yes gun violence is an issue. But the way to reduce gun violence is to build a strong social safety net, you want to tackle the root cause? Get rid of the reason people join gangs. Look how effective the war on drugs is, people still use it. Border enforcement will catch some sure, but gang violence will keep happening. The conservatives don't like strong social safety nets so they sell you security theater, just like after 911, it's theater. Talking about money spent? Rebuilding neglected infrastructure takes a lot of money. Kids under 17 get dental and vision care. Cheaper day care those are examples of things that we have to show for it.
Pp's circle is the same as carney's but at least there will be positive social policies, and instead of getting in bed with trump, we will divest.
I read this entire thread and you sound almost like a MAGA from down here. Are you sure you didn't take a wrong turn on the way to r/conservative?
My bingo card:
Being against providing a safe space for drug addicts is a new one, though. If they're going to shoot up regardless, isn't it better that their biohazardous needles are disposed of safely and not in a park?
I think you’ll see what you want to see. Manufacturing is really never “coming back”. No one tells it as it is - both parties lie. Guns are literally being taken away. Forced vaccinations were a thing here - you had to be vaccinated to go to restaurants or the movie theater, etc. Sure you didn’t “have” to get it, but enjoy sitting at home doing nothing. The “other guy” will not fix the economy. Governments really can’t do that. BUT they can create growth, attract investment and talent through policy.
From my understanding, you have three viable parties. I understand saying "fuck the neoliberals," but then why not pick the third party that isn't endorsed by the insane fascist down here?
I forget which chucklefuck said it, but our administration said your conservative party leader's values align with Trump's, and Trump is threatening your entire country's sovereignty on a near daily basis. If the expansionist "deal maker" who likes to demand mineral rights in exchange for empty promises likes him, I would expect that to be a very good indicator of someone willing to bend the knee and kiss the ring.
I mean, the election isn’t solely about who trump will bully easier - as much as American may think. There are actual policies people are concerned with and trumps just one of many on a long list.
I get that, but I also really don't think it's a good idea to underestimate the importance of having a leader who strongly pushes back against Trump.
America is going downhill fast, and the current administration is highly imperial, expansionist, and corrupt. The "51st state" shit isn't a joke. The government here said "if" they were to take Canada, it would be by economic force instead of military force, and then proceeded to leverage tariffs to create economic pressure on the rest of the continent. They undermine and belittle the Canadian government at almost every opportunity while riling up the conservatives down here by claiming yall are taking advantage of us and being welfare queens who are completely reliant on our handouts and protection. It's an obvious attempt to tire people out and destroy national sympathy for you guys.
Trust me, whatever shit you have going on there right now, it's still a lot better than what's happening down here. And as bad as we have it, you would get it even worse as a country compromising itself to appease America. By all means, vote for whoever you want, but at least wait until after the US has played its hand and made its intentions to extract wealth and resources from Canadians undeniably clear. Voting in an American-friendly candidate right now is a guarantee to have American corporations come in and destroy your country like they did ours.
Yeah, no.
