        The fact that a plurality of voters actively chose Donald Trump, again, tells you just how badly the Democrats have failed the People.

        You can’t just explain it away. The income inequality is worse now than it has ever been. People are willing to try Anything different. Even if it is objectively bad for themselves. Status quo doesn’t cut it anymore.

          This is true. Allowing Trump to win will still be worse. Both things can be true, and that isn’t radical centrism.

    Following the dinner between Trump and Trudeau, where Trump reportedly made a joke about Canadian statehood, Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc told reporters that they knew “the conversation was going to be lighthearted” and that “the president was teasing us.”

    Trump doesn’t tell jokes, he’s not a comedian.

      Also, anyone who’s actually been involved in international politics, LIKE TRUMP DID FOR FOUR YEARS, should know that one does not “joke” in international politics. One assumes that the words coming out of one’s mouth will be taken at face value, no matter how many “it was a joke” retractions and posts and apologies you make.

      Trudeau and Freeland handled the last term better than anyone around here expected.

      Definitely helped having a PM with experience working with children.

    Is this a threat? Does this indicate imminent invasion of Canada soon after Trump resumes power? Is this how he means to deal with border issues, by erasing borders with Canada? What about Mexico? /s

      I suspect about 40% of the population would approve. Our rural population is very similarly aligned with rural Americans, which is why they’re all rooting that that vapid, low impact Trump-alike Polievre who is running essentially unopposed right now. I can see him rolling over if Trump and his good squad came a-knocking.

      It’s also possible that Trump watched the first twenty minutes of the movie Canadian Bacon and thought it was his daily brief.

    Canada is a state, just not a part of the United States. Why is this controversial?

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.
