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.

Despite the internal issues Canada is facing, sadly, there are worse external problems to worry about at the moment.
European here, proud of Canada for standing up to those echoing totalitarian rethoric. We all need unison, and given that even the so-called 'freest nation on earth' is at the precipice of fascism, no one should underestimate that possibility from happening to any other free nation if given the chance to fester.
For a safer world for all of us, Europe has your back.
This was a real nail biter at the beginning. Atlantic Canada usually votes liberal and the conservatives were making unseen gains.
+1 for Canada - Europe axis and more collab. We just might be able to stand up to the 2 biggest bullies on the planet.
the so-called ‘freest nation on earth’
No-one but themselves ever called it that.
No-one but themselves ever called it that.
It's like the Lucky Strike BAR Honda team. Nothing lucky about them. Zero race victories. 15 podiums out of 118 races. Zero constructor points on its debut.
Lucky Strike is a brand of cigarettes.
Yes.
Just like Land of the Free, Home of the Brave is a brand of nationalism.
Great work, Canada! Stand strong and tall.
Do you think Trump got confused by the whole red team / blue team thing being different?
Fun fact: Democrats and GOP swapped colors in the 2000 election.
Americans still get confused about how the Democrats and Republicans swapped ideologies entirely many decades ago.
Absolutely not joking when I say Joe Manchin kept getting elected as a Democrat because most West Virginians still think that Democrat = Dixiecrat.
Florida man
This is just a joke, right? He's not really from Florida?
Who is "he"? I think they might mean Donald Trump, who AFAIK is a resident of Florida?
It is, because on the day of our election he spouted off, yet again, about us becoming the 51st state.
Honest to god if he hadn't said a word about forcing us to become the 51st state right after his inauguration the Liberals would have lost and we would be fucked.
Florida man cost the Conservatives big time ... ergo he lost them the election.
I was confused by the title too but this makes sense to me, given that many people thought the conservative leader was essentially a puppet for trump.
Oh. I just misread the title then I guess.
He's not really from Florida?
Admit it -- you weren't sure.
I admit it. I thought the headline refered to the Canadian politician who lost the election with a bang. Apparently not.
When you’re rich you can buy property anywhere in the US. You just can’t run/vote in more than one jurisdiction.
PP is like a clone of Desantis
He just acted like he walked out of a trailer in Sarasota.
