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.

This comment pisses me off so much.
Are you serious? Paperwork? That's what your dad thinks Canadians are concerned about?
They have a second condo in Florida they're well off and mostly-white
They have that "won't happen to me" attitude.
Hmm, they sound nice.
Probably since I'm assuming most of them are white.
Old white people basically never think they're going to be the target for government discrimination.
Yes, because that's what they have said they are concerned about. Why doubt what they say?
BeCaUSE ThaTs wHat ThEy SaId.
I'm sorry, but it's really this kind of willful ignorance that keeps me boycotting the US. You think maybe it's the shit for brains president not only starting a worldwide trade war including its allies and even threatening to annex us? Or the fact that half of you support the rapist? Or the fact that we have to risk being sent to El Salvadore for whatever arbitrary ewason?
Please, think a little for God's sake. Do we really need to spell everything out???
I believe that many people think that. I also believe those are the reasons I would avoid the US. But, these people said they didn't want to deal with the hassle and I have no reason to doubt them. If they were afraid of being deported, they could have said that. These people are perfectly capable of speaking for themselves, I don't need to put words in their mouth.
