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.

Considering that Canada didn’t achieve full sovereignty distinct from the UK until the early 80s, I wouldn’t be shocked if the Brits had helped them out on this one. They’re pretty damn good at intel, too.
They also know a thing or 2 about Indian government
Yeah, that'll calm this situation down lol
Well I'm not sure what really can. What the hell did the Indian government think they were doing?
It's Russia levels of shittiness.
Am I the only one who remembers the Israelis going psycho all over the globe murdering Nazis and creating a shitstir everywhere with the Mossad?
Then there's the Saudis, the Cubans, the CIA, really, being murderous cunts is not solely reserved for the Russians, if anything it's just another one of nation state's favorite pastimes.

ngl i dont remember the mossad one, when was that?
They thought the West wouldn't do shit, like we didn't when Putin and Saudi Arabia assassinated people or when Turkey beat up people in DC.
They're right.
It depends entirely on who’s in power. Trump and the GOP love Russia and Saudi Arabia. Trump personally wanted to get into business with both of them. Thats the primary reason nothing happened.
Yeah the UK is also a member of five eyes, it could be the us, uk, Australia or New Zealand
all five spy partners are pretty cooperative when it comes to sharing data. they all want the others to provide to them--so they're all gonna give, too.
Just give enough to get them by. They don't casually share the entire stuff with their partners.
It could be anyone, that's how FiveEyes works. Your allies spy on you, and give you the intel in a completely deniable way. Technically, you weren't spying on India; technically, you weren't spying on Canadian citizens; technically, you weren't spying on diplomats. It could have been New Zealand, it could have been the US, and that's very naughty of whoever it was, but you'll never know who.
Publicly the US is trying to stay neutral, but I have no doubt that privately they're 100% behind Canada
Asked if Ottawa is thinking about retaliating by pausing visa processing for Indian visitors, Freeland said the government is focused on bringing the killers to justice.
"This is not about geopolitics. This is about Canada, the safety of Canadians in Canada. This is about the rule of law," she said.
I like this response. Denying visitors/access to their friends and families is not a way to "retaliate."
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Canadian government has amassed both human and signals intelligence in a months-long investigation of a Sikh activist's death that has inflamed relations with India, sources tell CBC News.
In a diplomatic crisis that unfolded progressively behind the scenes, Canadian officials went to India on several occasions seeking cooperation in the investigation of Hardeep Singh Nijjar's death.
"I can assure you that the decision to share these allegations on the floor of the House of Commons … was not done lightly," Trudeau said Thursday in New York after attending the United Nations General Assembly.
When asked about the intelligence reports, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said she couldn't comment without risking the investigation and Canada's obligations to its Five Eyes partners.
"That partnership rests very much on those… intelligence conversations being held in confidence," she told CBC News Network's Power & Politics host David Cochrane.
Asked if Ottawa is thinking about retaliating by pausing visa processing for Indian visitors, Freeland said the government is focused on bringing the killers to justice.
