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.

I've been saying it since the beginning when Trudeau tried to appease trump...

Mexico and Canada need to stand together and hit trump first.

America can get by with one or the other, but not without both. And both countries can get by without us.

That's why trump immediately tried to divide them. Mexico stood firm, so trump then picked on the weak one who publicly caved.

I still have no idea how Trudeau fell for it, but I've never been a fan of his.

None of them want to blow up the economy. Trump knows that if he cooks the economy, he's done. That's what's stopping him, nothing else. He'll talk big, but when stocks fall, he'll crumble. I think it's only a matter of time before he cooks it for some other creative reason though. He'll try to blame everyone else of course.

That being said, Canada/Mexico would never throw the first stone either though. They are just as beholden to the same stock market.

In the end, this is one of the only things I actually agree with the orange moron on. Globalization will continue killing our job market and the only way to reverse some of it is to make the playing field more level via tariffs. Shipping all of the manufacturing jobs abroad could only work if you had a highly educated workforce, but they're trying to make us dumber too while replacing as much as possible with automation and AI. It has to break somewhere.
