    Freebies? Like, freeloaders? Like all of the people who don’t get healthcare or medicine in the U.S. so they cross the border to get it from Canada?

    I’m delighted that our Prime Minister clearly got under Trump’s skin with his speech. He certainly didn’t get his wits from America.

      When America sends its people, they’re sending their best. They’re sending people that have fewer problems and they’re leaving their problems behind. They’re bringing skills. They’re bringing families. They’re not rapists. And most, I assume are good people.

    Hahaha idiot. What ‘freebies’ could hope to make up for maple syrup and poutine?

        Very true.

        That’s nothing compared to the syrup, though.

    You know, I’m grateful.

    Hitler lost his grip on reality, after he started the second world war.

    Nazi germany had a terrifying amount of terrible, and competent, people on its side.

    Trump’s administration might be terrible… But competent?

      There are still a lot of competent people who continue to let themselves be used by the regime, particularly in the military.

        Absolutely.

        But this shit is falling apart a lot sooner than the nazi party did.

        The Nazis were true zealots, while Trump is just a grifter, wrapped in so many lies there are no longer words he might spew that are capable of making sense to anyone paying attention. Additionally, a lot of people around him are in it for personal gain, not some sense of ideals.

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.

  • 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.
