News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Sooo, as a Canadian, I'm pretty sure I have the authority to speak for all of us, and as much as I'd love to have you all, I'd rather not tempt fate and accidentally start a war.
Also, Indiana, Idaho, South Dakota and Wyoming, you're expressly not allowed in.
You're not going to allow states that don't border you but you're okay with Montana? And I wouldn't say North Dakota is a bastion of progressivism either.
Pfft. Everyone knows nobody really lives in Montana. They just pretend they do on paper so they can incorporate LLC's there and put license plates on their dirt bikes and quads. Montana's entire population is actually in Kentucky and Florida.
Just think of all the moose you could farm in that space, or whatever it is the Canadians want to do with it.
Yeah, NoDak is pretty strong red hat territory. They wouldn't be a good fit.
There's hope yet for Montana's future.
There's far too many MAGA hats in Montana and North Dakota for them to be welcomed either.
I think Alabama is one where the feeling is mutual.
I wonder what Hawaii and Alaska would think.
As a Canadian, Hawaii really don't feel Canadian. Would they be better off as their own thing?
I thought Alaska could join as a territory and not a province but then realized that Alaska has more population than the 3 territories combined and then it's still over 6 times more.
Re-establish the Kingdom of Hawaii!
Since, you know, that was a sovereign government we had a hand in overthrowing
Well, we did name a popular but um controversial pizza after them.
