Do it. There is nothing particularly special about the voices here. They could do well with getting taken down a few pegs.

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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 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.

Finally! Yes!
Now get everyone else on board please! The sooner the US gets decoupled the sooner the rest of us can get back some kind of quality of life.
The world can, and it should. Especially our tech companies.
Okay then, tackle climate change.
I'm starting to think the only way to tackle climate change is for the people to start destroying fossil fuel infrastructure, starting with the highest volume targets that take the longest time to replace.
That's the most important one. Unfortunately it's almost impossible to compel compliance from major economies.
Our best chance is what Carney is doing, move on without them in as many domains as possible and wait for the US to collapse or reform, then invite them to the big kids table again.
The US has dodged its way out of every binding international treaty, including climate ones.
I note the large investiment from ~~Saudi Arabia~~ UAE going towards Canada mentioned in the article; I'm not sure stopping fossil fuels is quite what he has in mind ='(
It's the UAE—not Saudi Arabia.
Ah, I'm bad at reading. Editing. Thanks!
Remember, the United States is the largest oil producer in the world. Canada is number 4 right behind Russia.
We are not quite a Petro state but we are pretty close.
The world can, but Canada can't ignore the psychopath who lives in the flat downstairs.
Give it a week, he’ll find a way to coddle the Americans after Trump flips his lid over this.
Carney is an Obama-esque a-hole who says really nice things but, in fact, is going to drive many more Canadians into poverty. (As one would expect from an international banker-turned-politician.)
But he's not wrong, and what sucks is Americans really don't know how trade deals work, so in a year-ish when all the post-tariff trade deals go in, and the supply chain has rerouted itself around the US, we're all going to be poorer for it except for the handful of billionaires who profited handsomely off the economic chaos.
Someone else would have been better, but Carney is the best Canada can manage with its dogshit voting system. At least he's a servant of the state and not corrupt dictator wannabe like Trump. (Increasingly not wannabe)
Also if the liberal party could stop disarming citizens at a time of high threat that d be great.
