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.

Canada's housing and healthcare infrastructure is unable to keep up with even the current population. There are current issues with record high wait times for ERs and surgery, etc. as well as a homelessness crisis.

Not to mention the current issues with imported organised crime, such as foreign extortion gangs that are currently a huge problem in BC and Ontario. If you keep up on the Canadian news at all, you'll know that many members of such a gang was recently arrested, all of whom suddenly claimed refugee status so that they then conveniently couldn't be deported for their crimes without literal years of legal proceedings. And this was reported by the CBC, which is about as left-wing as a news source gets in Canada, so its not a case of the National Post or the Sun pushing right wing propaganda.

It is commendable to want to help people, but the fact of the matter is, unchecked record high immigration has led to more than a few problems over the last decade that are now coming home to roost. Canada simply doesn't have the capacity to absorb these people without it further exacerbating domestic issues, not to mention that the Liberal Party's record-high immigration numbers and TFW-related employment issues are wildly unpopular politically. They are a large part of the reason that the conservatives were on track to win a majority in the last election after Trudeau was forced to resign, before Donald Trump's 51st state comments and tariffs sent a wave of anti-american sentiment through Canada (and thus, anti-anything Trump-like voter sentiment, and Trump is a US conservative) and cost them that lead - but that only goes so far.

If Canada tries to absorb all the migrants trying to go there now over the USA due to America's current political climate, there will eventually be a large backlash that pushes Canada far closer to the current US political climate than anyone wants.

“Put simply, the United States is not safe for many refugees,” Lloyd Axworthy and Allan Rock, two former cabinet ministers, wrote in October, arguing the Safe Third Country Agreement is unconstitutional.

Exactly. I don't want my nation to resemble America in this way. We should be investing far more money in accepting and caring for refugees than we currently do.

Maybe something like raising taxes on, and removing loopholes for, rich people would help. Unfortunately our leadership chooses not to do logical things to help others.

those in power are too narrow minded, focused on money now and setting themselves up for success at the expense of millions of lives. They do not care one iota about the country, it's inhabitants, land, air quality, or wildlife.
