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.

I think it's a great opportunity for Canada to develop more partnership with Europe, Mexico and the rest of the world. USA is an ennemi now, a dangerous one, it's time to bring this under-educated country to his knees. They need to pay for all the suffering they brought to the world. Sorry USA, we cant not friend anymore, you made your choices.
Sucks to be linked in when I didn't choose any of this. But I get it. You gotta at this point. Fuck us.
This as an Australia, I'd be happy to see Australia aak fir EU entry.
Or we could start a Canada, Australia, Japan, NZ zone akin to the EU.
I wouldn't mind a new Commonwealth forming. Reformed based on looking towards the future of the greatest global community instead of the colonial past
We all decide to give our Commonwealth members populations a universal credit/basic income/whatever and enhance the ability to choose what to live. Become global Commonwealth citizens backed by the country we call home. Let us move freely. A supported migrant population taking advantage of seasonal differences in hemispheres
And if this goes down in flames... It will still be 1000x better than the current shitshow
This would be good in case Kaiju attack too.
There's already CANZUK
As an Australian, no way. Do not want.
I agree, but we should have diversified our trade in the 90s when we realized Mulroney's us/can free trade agreement wasn't going to last forever, and when it was becoming obvious that China was rising fast as a manufacturing powerhouse.
IMO, we should have forged a tightly integrated trade agreement with the EU and spearheaded the Trans Pacific Partnership way sooner.
We're in the pickle of current events because we were largely complacent at the table of a global market that marched ahead without us in the ways we wanted.
The problem is that it's very difficult to move from a trading partner you share a land border with to ones that you have to cross the world's largest oceans to get to. Not just difficult, but largely undesirable. While national security might argue for diverse trading partners, short of applying extraordinary incentives business is going to go where its easy and profitable to go, and that's the US.
Since the nineties Canada has signed and ratified 15 free trade agreements. But none of that matters when we have one of the world's largest and wealthiest markets right next to us. Not unless we're willing to take extraordinary measures to change that dynamic.
Yes, of course. Those things are also all true.
