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.

Trump: being Trump
Canada: "Oh, ya wanna fuckin' go?!"
Canada throws down the hockey gloves.
Elbows up
Take off eh!
Funny thing is Florida is quiet on this, they know they will be hurting from all the tourism money they won't be getting from Canadians, rightfully so.
Florida isn't quiet, their governor used the 2024 tourism stats to mock Canadians boycott of the US, which, you know, started in 2025.
DeSantis tried to play it off by pointing out how many Canadians still chose to visit Florida anyway... In 2024.
So, apparently he thinks we have time travel.
In 2024.
Helpfully highlighting the baseline so that we can see how much it changes over time.
Yeah, ironically by bragging about how much of their tourism comes from Canada he's just telling us how much they have to lose.
We didn't start it. Trump did. Being polite doesn't mean we are willing to take shit from anyone. We are polite to them, for their own protection.
It wasn't even the trade war. It was the disrespect. It was the questioning of our sovereignty.
Friend can have disagreements. They can even have a fight. Biden tariffed softwood lumber. We didn't get angry like this, because he never disrespected our country. But this time Trump went all meth head started talking shit about us. This isn't a difference of opinion. This was made personal.
The US burnt our relationship to the ground and pissed on the ashes.
Treat it like the attack on York and go burn the house down again, the military probably wouldn’t even mind.
Don't expect honesty from the bootlicking mainstream networks. Those concerned with appearing "impartial" when one side is an avowed dictator are not concerned with honesty- only profits.
AP and Propublica are far better options or if you want that left wing bias fox news says mainstream media has, go with Vox.
I’m enjoying the fact that the comments went from support Canada to an intro class on US linguistics. Love it!!
The American business sector, and the idiots who voted Trump on the promise of financial gain, are about to learn a painful lesson.
They are going to learn that there are some things that you simply cannot walk back.
They are going to learn how long it takes Canadians to forget threats to their sovereignty.
They will learn that there is a tangible financial penalty for betrayal of allies.
There is no leeway here. If Americans are ever allowed to vote in a free election again, it is abundantly clear that one third of you will absolutely vote for more of this MAGA Insanity, and one third of you will absolutely, as demonstrated, sit on your asses and not vote against it.
We will never trust the collective You the People again for what you've done.
This has nothing to do with politeness. This is about standing up for yourself.
Indeed. And standing up for yourself is NOT impolite, despite what the US Republicans seem to think.
Friendly Americans, if you didn't sign up for this divorce don't just be sorry, be LOUD. Tell every representative you have just how much bullshit this is, and how un-American it is to turn on an ally.
For those that don't, just know that silence is assent: you are agreeing to your government's actions. And if that is the case, get bent, ya hoser.
I've been saying the same thing to every apologetic American; we don't want your apologies, we want your anger.
If you're so God damn sorry about this, put a stop to it. Until you do, your words mean nothing.
Exactly. Screw your thoughts and prayers, be our ally or don't. No middle ground here.
I'm not even asking them to be our allies. I don't need them to give a single flying fuck about us. We'll take care of ourselves if we have to. I just need them to fix their God damn country before its too late, because that's the one problem only they can solve.
I'm rooting for you, Canada. The US needs to reap the consequences of what we've sown.
Don't root for us, root for yourselves. We don't need your moral support, we need you guys to put a stop to your country's slide into fascism before its too late.
It would be nice if the other half of Americans weren't just standing around watching this happen, but thanks.
For my Canadian friends, and soon to be friends, thank you for doing what you can during this trying period in our relationship. I didn't vote for this shitshow, and am doing what I can from South of the Border. We'll get together for some poutine, and green chili when things settle down a bit. K? Love YOU ALL!
The fight for justice, democracy, and civility knows no borders. You (singular), and those who fight against oppression will always be our brothers/sisters IMO.
We know you're there, and we know who we are and aren't booing when we boo the Star-Spangled Banner.
I think I can speak for most Canadians if I say we're sorry that standing up for ourselves means hurting you, but we're not sorry for standing up for ourselves.
