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.

I'd always figured he'd have packed it in by now. Forfeited his wife and family for a shitty PM gig.
The impression I have gotten from Canadians in the past year or so has definitely been, "we need someone else."
There are a lot of Canadians who think Trudeau's first name begins with an F.
There are a lot of Canadians who want change, and are going to be disappointed when we elect our version of a Republican into office and he doesn't fix all of our problems in 4 years (or, ugh, 8 or 12).
Additionally, Trudeau has been getting a lot of hate for issues that are actually under the jurisdiction of our premiers (aka. governors, I think?).
E.g., Healthcare, housing, international students, and pandemic lockdowns
The issue for the libs is that, "There is no one else."
Singh wasted the perfect opportunity to wield great power as the de facto PM during this period. That being said, he's the only party leader who actually delivered on his promises: drug and dental programs.
It'll never happen, but if Tom Mulcair could be parachuted in as Liberal leader, this upcoming election could be interesting, but Canada is destined to roll its eyes through a 5 year PP majority....
Tom Mulcair could be parachuted in as Liberal leader
I'm not canadian. My thoughts :
"isn't he dead?" search "oh great, he isn't. I must have thought about Jack Layton, RIP"
I don't think parlimentary systems work that way. Here's hoping the NDP/Liberals can ensure that the lunatics in the new flavour of conservatives don't get in.
Mulcair would have to run for leadership of the Liberal party - that was my intended use of 'parachute'.
Retiring to follow his dream of opening a Halloween store
Not surprising. Canadians are turning on him.

What was part deux? The original was hilarious.
