Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

That means nothing. He will taco. Then Canada will get even more pushed away from our once great partnership.
Remember how Trump fucked up the election in Canada for the conservatives? They literally had it in the bag. But Taco showed up with his tiny mushroom dick.
Thursday, Canada signs huge rare earth mineral mining deal with ~~Iceland~~ Greenland, humiliating Trump.
Friday, Trump throws a tantrum.
As is tradition
I'm in favour of gradual weakening of the US leading to its ultimate dismantling. The sub-300 year experiment has clearly failed, so there's zero reason for the US to exist in its current form.
Yeah I kind of believe that NA would work better as a bunch of smaller countries in an agreement similar to the EU. I say that as a Canadian who’s politics aren’t as much a dumpster fire too
He’s just trying to get our CDN back to an equal level with USD :)
Lol Donald announced that he's shutting up? Canada wins
And U.S. consumers lose because, if there's still anyone unclear on this, we pay the goddamn tariff and not a single person in Canada.
That's definitely going to help him make a deal.
ART OF THE DEAL
I'm telling ya! ICE is running out of money, and tariffs are collected by the DHS instead of the IRS. I'm betting tariffs are going under the table to fund it
His words have been proven to mean nothing. He just speaks without any thought, senile old man.
Bring in BYD ....
Conspiracy Time!
I wonder if they are trying to flood the 'Canada' SEO because of this recent event:
https://globalnews.ca/news/11262681/canadian-dead-ice-custody-florida/
The deceased lived in the US for their entire adult life. It's not like a tourist was snatched and died in custody. First, everybody should be outraged about this type of treatment happening to a human being, but there's no reason for Canada to have anything more to do with this.
Canada should back out of the USMCA and stop respecting US IP
It would be highly amusing for Canada to start making Star Wars films without Disney's approval, along with a little "Come get me fuckers".
Some of us never started
If you don't mind losing leg so the other guy gets cancer. Canada needs more time to detach first.
Ah yes. So after that bottle episode called "A Visit to Iran", it looks like the people making the show want to pick up the Canada War plot thread again. I'm guessing the dumbass protagonist threatens Canada a bit, before giving up and claiming victory. These showmakers are running out of ideas.
I am so sick of having to redo all my estimates every time trump tweets about my country.
We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying
...that's... not how this works...
It works like that when you assume the other country will desperately lower their export prices and eat the difference so in the end it's still sold at the same price in the country raising the tariffs. In practice the greedy capitalists raise prices in the shops at the mere mention of the concept of tariffs, even when the product is produced locally.
Snip snap snip snap snip snap
Canada geese are my favorite bird. I see them by the lake all the time. They are perfectly well-behaved, until you deliberately try to piss them off.
Too weak...
Canada needs to start cashing in their US Bonds. Let's watch the US economy start to crash.
I feel like that’s probably our nuclear option and we’re holding out for now since it’s likely Trump chickens out again
I hope not. Please do it. tRump and his shit-sucking base only give a shit when the leopard is dousing them and theirs in hot sauce. If crashing and burning this fucker and our country is what it takes to end him and them, don't wait! Do it slowly, like someone shredding important documents.
Bonus points if they or anyone does it each time this regime tries to lie or bury that pressure point. Rich people back this fuck-squad because they care about two things: their money and their lives. Threaten one and/or the other until they abandon him!
