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.

Be a real shame if you had to import all that food from Canada...
lol... all our food is imported from the US and mexico (except a few seasonal fruits and potatoes in the summer)
Ahem, I’m pretty sure you all have enough maple syrup reserves to survive on it as your sole source of food for decades.
yes, but then we will lose all our teeth, because dental care isn't covered under our "universal health care" system.... also, eyes and mental health are not covered.... just arbitrary parts of your body they decided aren't covered under health care.
(and before any pedantic canadians jump in, yes, i know we are rolling out dental coverage right now)
Isn't it odd that anything that involves the head isn't covered? Like - it's one of the most important parts!
You mean luxury bones?
You guys have healthcare that doesn’t bankrupt you?
You know, I had to pay $750 to go to a doctor to make an appointment to come back to get something done, which was not the amount of the procedure. It was the 10 minutes it took to pick a date, and to inform me not to eat before.
Most of the US doesn’t count eyes or teeth as “health care” either. You have to get separate insurance for that stuff. It’s an interesting history rabbit hole, but also, come on man, it’s 2025!
You keep your hands off our maple syrup. Don't make me slide a hockey puck your way.
I’ll spoon feed it to you. To quote a famous Canadian, who I assume was singing about maple syrup, Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
That was before the great maple syrup heist of '12. The strategic reserves have never recovered.
For the uninitiated, this was a real event: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Canadian_Maple_Syrup_Heist
~~They did until the Great Maple Syrup Reserve Heist occurred...~~
Someone beat me to it
There needs to be a movie about this. Oceans Eleven style. You know Mike Myers will accept a role ;)
