Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Broke: Driving to Canada for cheap meds because of America’s dysfunctional healthcare system

Woke: Driving to Canada for cheap electronics because of America’s dysfunctional tariff system

This is obviously irrelevant to Canada since its a resource colony of the US. But its obviously relevant to almost everybody else. Trump's tariffs creates a world where nobody but the most efficient exporters of all time have access to the US market. Meaning China. And everybody else becomes more dependent of China as a result.

I've joked before that someone should run on the traditionalist platform of contracting China to build a trans-continental railway

Large scale version of that time some little town asked the USSR to build them a bridge

President Xi my people need affordable transportation, please send engineers and Fuxing trains to free us from jacked up pickups and SUVs the size of APCs

[–] crazyminner@lemmy.ml 19 points 6 months ago

Holy shit, so this is what it feels like to have people joke about your country being invaded by America.

This sucks, yo. And we haven't even been bombed yet.

They're so hooked on Western supremacy they'll be screeching about how bad this is for their "freedom"

[–] MF_COOM@hexbear.net 22 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Honestly Canada is the most Sinophobic place on Earth. It was on par with the US until China had the nerve to arrest two Canadian removed and it's been a constant scream of incoherent rage since.

Honestly Canada is the most Sinophobic place on Earth.

Can confirm. Live here. It's a racist country in general, but holy shit, people here really go hard on the bigotry against China.

[–] Xavienth@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 6 months ago

If you think it's bad here you should see Australian media. Everything is China's fault. Australian politicians can't get China out of their mouths. China this, China that.

If we tried, which we won't, it'd trigger an amerikan invasion. Klanada is not a sovereign country. Ffs its not even a real country lmao

Xi Jinping offers to put a million soldiers on the Canada-USA border at the eve of War and is rebuffed.
