A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

He’s poaching conservatives since the start of the year, some of those ~~turn cost~~ turncoat are some important piece of shit in Canada politics.
So yeah look a lot like a centrist gov pandering to facist enablers
Turn cost ...Turncoats?
Autocorrect
Now they can make it illegal for all sorts of workers to strike.
You can thank Poilievre for this. This guy will cluelessly cling to the head of the Conservative party until the NDP becomes the new opposition party.
Good.
One can hope
A very important lesson is hidden in this article:
Of the other two ridings, the Bloc Québécois is in an extremely tight race with the Liberals in Terrebonne, Quebec. The Liberals won it by just one vote in the last federal election, but the result was overturned by Canada’s supreme court because of a misprint on a voter’s envelope.
If ANY side had seen only one more person voting, everything might have been different! Never think that your vote isn't important.
Great now let's see if he'll stop pushing technocratic agendas and focuses back instead on the citizens
Nope
I mean, he’s a technocrat through and through. Always has been. Sometimes you need a stint of a technocrat to get into the nitty gritty.
Then again, he’s not my PM so I’m probably talking out my arse about the situation. I’m far less clued into domestic Canadian politics than the average Canadian.
Weird how our PM just got more power without a general elevation.
Like wtf mate
There's nothing weird about this. There was a string of by-elections, so people cast votes (in those ridings). This is how parliamentary governments work.
I can see complaints about floor-crossing though. That's an act that didn't involve the voters.
Can one not vote across party lines? Why would they have to change parties?
They can vote how they want, but I believe most parties use the whip extensively. So they could be kicked from the party/lose party funding. Crossing the floor secured them money from the new party.
One can hope he’ll can Nathalie Provost, find someone who will actually dedicate their time as Secretary Of Nature instead of a defunct Public Safety minister and scrap Bill C21/ASFCP, use his new found majority to target violent reoffenders and stop smuggling over the border.
