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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
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.

Scott Moe is a piece of shit. He was wanted to sell out Canada by keeping Saskatchewan exports (oil and potash) tariff free while the rest of Canada takes the brunt instead. Now he's butthurt that the US is going elsewhere for potash.
Trump's actions may be disturbing, but you don't need to hear about it from someone like Moe, who wouldn't even give a damn if it didn't affect his bottom line.
It feels like it needs said, because none of these news sources are touching it with a 10 foot pole. We arent talking about cow shit. This is industrial fertilizers that are a byproduct of oil. That's what russia exports. This is funding russias oil industry directly.
Industrial fertilizer is also the stuff that goes boom real good.
Saskatchewan's main mined fertilizer is potash which is not petroleum-based.
Potash is potassium, petrofertilizers are nitrogen. Different nutrients for Different purposes
Stop acting surprised. We all know Trump wants to be friends with Putin and Putin is exploiting the crap out of him for it.
Trump is a Putin simp.
Scott is a DUI hire, he's a little slow
They went through hell together remember? “Rushurusharusha” as he so often says. Was surprised that it wasn’t a big story when he went on about Putin going through a lot with him over the investigations into Russian interference. This wasn’t that long ago.
Agreed - the firehose of diarrhea let that slip right by.
“WE”?!? Unreal. Not even trying to disguise it and….crickets.
Trump's put tariffs on everyone else, he needs someone to trade with
It’s a long list Scott. But yeah, it’s up there.
You cant spell russia without usa
Rsi...checks out
... And cutting into our own exports. For reference, Saskatchewan's main single product by dollar figure is potash fertiliser.
I hate this, don't cheapen actual humanitarian and security concerns by mixing it with commercial shilling.
Fucking Krasnov will allow RUSAL to make their return too.
Hey! Why don't we also give them all our intellectual property?
