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.

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.
