World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
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.

There's no point in saying technically, he is the King of Canada. That being said the Crown is mostly symbolic like the UK, however symbols can be very powerful. By inviting the King to open Parliament, Carney is symbolically reminding Trump that Canada is much bigger than just one country. Likewise the Chiefs are reminding Canada, specifically Alberta, that the Crown holds the treaties, not Canada.
Basically this is like getting picked on in school then bringing your big brother to lunch. He doesn't have to do anything, the point is to remind your bullies you have some pretty strong support, and they should think again about continuing to bully you.
Yea I got the feeling it was about the MAGATs
Bold of you to assume the MAGATs (including the felon in chief) are smart enough to understand the implied threat/warning.
MAGATs on both sides of the border were being addressed in King Charle’s speech
We got maple MAGATs that own nothing more than a dot of private land that believe western Canada is their’s to just trade with just a simple referendum but this would interfere with long standing treaties that were signed with First Nations and the crown land of which aren’t just provincially ‘owned’.
There is a reason why Charles mentioned the 3 particular tribes all of which Alberta is entirely lying across. Not one foot of Alberta isn’t native land involved in the treaty. In fact the 3 provinces that are currently the biggest MAGATs supporters are all entirely engulfed in native land that have been involved in long standing treaties.
That’s what that particular announcement mentioning the tribes was all about and why the First Nations were there to make their presence known.
Me thinks the First Nations should want Danielle smith’s head on a platter if she keeps her bullshit up especially now that it’s spoken from the mouth of the king of Canada.
The royals do have power. They rarely swing it. And this hasn’t been done since the 70s. So whether she wants to or not she better be listening with both hands out of her ears on this one. Not often a king comes down from his main throne to address one person in particular in Canada who’s been fucking around. The royals didn’t even do this when Quebec wanted to separate. So this is something.
If trump decide to attack, uk and the king won't do anything to protect us. No amount of sanctions would hurt the USA and they will surely not bring soldiers to canada. The whole EU effort still struggle against Russia.
You naive if you think this madman trump care about a useless kid
You think the US is going to attack Canada? Like, with military force? Are you delusional?
Yes. That's what Europe thought in 1938 and how they were taken so unaware. This is playing out almost step-by-step Europe in the 1930s. Once Trump consolidates his power he'll realize his "US first" policy will not work and he'll start looking outwards to expand the US to get control of more resources. Resources Canada is rich in.
He's expressed several times that he wants Canada to be part of the US. He hopes we'll be like Austria where there are enough people supporting unification that he can just walk in without a shot being fired. But he'll make us a Poland and invade outright if he has to.
I expect everything from a mad man like Trump
Some things require more than just the perceived wishes of a single madman, or the world as we know it would have already been destroyed several times over.
Regardless this useless king won't protect us from anything not even non military threats
