A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
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.

Trump and his administration are a dumpster fire. Countries should just cut all contact at this point.
How is this not an act of war?
Installing violent juntas in South America is so 20th Century. Now we're installing violent juntas in North America.
No one here wants this. It's an incredibly small minority of morons and nothing will ever come of it. It's just a bunch of noise because our premier is a piece of dog shit. She will be gone come next election, if she lasts until then.
Well, it seems that it is perfectly legal to abduct a country's president with military force and then put them on trial.
Care to help us out Canada?
I will take more than just Trump.
If Canada is smarter than America, they will deal with this decisively. It's one think to be a big dickhead online, screaming for revolution. It's a whole other thing to be meeting with representatives of a hostile government who has made many threats of invasion. That's fucking treason, and Canada should deal with it right the fuck NOW, and send a clear message to future traitors. Don't wait to see if it gets worse, like we do here in America, deal with it preemptively.
100% treason right there
The fucking Russians are mixing with those morons too. Send the far-right Canadians fuck ups for a 6 month stay in the Oklahoma and Mississippi Oblasts. That should clear their fucked up ideas.
I guarantee Israel and the Zionist tech bros are involved
What's it going to take for Canada to start you know viewing this as treason from certain people? Cuz it's absolutely treason.
Yup, needs to be shut down and them charged, and then you'll see a US temper tantrum, which just proves what they were up to.
Trump will offer asylum of course. He will use it to prove that Canada is abusing its citizens and then have them condemned by his board of peace.
He will allow immigration like with South Africa under the guise that Canada is woke and punishes its citizens who love God.
I live in the treasonous province and I'll tell you most people in Edmonton at least are real Canadians and not fascists.
The fairly luke-warm 'stay' petition, rabid 'leave' petitions, and generally failing recall attempts, seem to paint a slightly more muddled picture.
At least BC's premier is openly using the Treason word for this shit.
Any petition aimed at retaining the status quo will have a lukewarm response.
I wouldn’t call that “Luke warm” at all. It was a massive amount of people in a relatively short window of time.
If Canada takes a page out of America's book then there could be an actual violent insurrection and masked federal agents executing Canadians and they still won't view it as treason.
Would there be a way for Minnesota to leave the US and join Canada?
"I'm joining the war against Canada on the side of Canada."
Plenty of Americans would.
I’d say California should hold a referendum to join Canada in response, but then I discovered California’s economy alone has 4.3 trillion GDP compared to all of Canada’s 2.6 trillion. Amazing that the average Canadian still has better access to healthcare 😅
I bet that if California had universal healthcare, the GDP would skyrocket. Healthy people are productive people. Ditto for doing free education, genuine anti-corruption, and...(goes on)
What? If the country looks after the population, the population will look after the country? That would never work! You know, except for the various countries where it provably does work..
Why the fuck does this administration think they can just buy countries?? Like where tf is all this coming from?
An asshole who was taught his whole life that he can buy whatever he wants and do whatever he wants without consequence was shat into office.
It's just a continuation
and thus far, the world is still yet to prove otherwise
All y'all thought there was going to be a US Civil War, but it turns out the first shots are getting fired across the Alberta/Saskatchewan border.
Never going to happen. Just some stupid people that avoid facts and only watch conspiracy videos.
In the spirit of Ralph Klein, I think we out to buy these folks one way tickets to the American state of their preference. Let ICE sort them out.
Although the show is pissing me off its clear that Tim Cain, Leonard Boyarsky, Jason Anderson, Chris Taylor, Mark O'Green, Scott Bennie and Christopher Taylor from Fallout 1 definitely did get somethings right ie the US trying to invade Canada.
Standard US playbook. Find lackeys who want to destabilise and split a country and fund their coup.
Although the show is pissing me off
Aw crap, I'm starting ep 1 this weekend, how does it go off the rails?
Not op, but I'm a huge fallout nerd. I love it, some of the story decisions are weird and retcons happen, but overall it captures the world beautifully and is hilarious IMO.
So tit-for-tat being fair play, sounds like Canada can kidnap and imprison Trump.
Thank you, I just daydreamed this for a moment. That was nice.
Me too. Wouldn't it be funny if we kidnapped him an no one really tried to get him back?
I heckin' HATE the Alberta Prosperity Project! If we ever went "independent" we'd get Venezuela'd immediately!
Alberta wouldn't ever be "independent." At best they would basically get annexed by the US, same way Russia took Crimea, claiming that the presence of separatists justified their actions.
What a fucking menace. Do they honestly think they can smash and grab an entire country? They are making themselfes the common, lifelong enemy of many, many groups of people.
Do they honestly think they can smash and grab an entire country?
Like Venezuela?
Next: "separatists" in green vests without insigna rebel against the Canadian government. Fuck this shit
