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. 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.

They should.
Our populace is too stupid to vote responsibly, which means the filth will always rise to the top, which means our government will always be corrupt, which means it can't be trusted.
Distance yourself from us. Form allegiances with other countries. We cannot be trusted.
I'm sorry. I've voted at every opportunity to prevent this outcome. Many of us have. Just not enough.
Surprised it’s that low, before trump I would have thought it would be at around 25%
There are a lot of maple maga and confederate flag waving trash in Canada though, so it probably balanced out a bit
I am a U.S. citizen (stuck in the U.S.) and I view the U.S. as an enemy country
And rightfully so. We currently have a dictator that is threatening to absorb them into the collective shithole that America has become…
I cannot blame them one bit and I’m surprised the percentage is that low.
What's more appalling is that 13% of Canadians have a favourable view of Trump. Do better Alberta. Do better.
That's not funny. Grocery stores here are filled with people weeding out the American products, too.
That's because conservatism is a wildly violent mental disorder that seeks to destroy all positive freedom and oppress everyone in the most ruthless ways possible. They have to be killed, and you had better be arming up. This is not hyperbole; you do not understand who you are dealing with.
We did have an idea, we saw the gas chambers. Now just like the Israelis, we’re taking a turn at being the bad guy, so yeah arm and practice. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast
Sorry Canada
A little less than half of Americans are my enemy. This is also the same percentage of Canadians I consider to be my enemy.
The new right, freedom convoys, AFD, and other far right movements are our common enemy.
The big, important difference being that in the US the naughty third is in control.
As a Canadian, this didn't feel right so I actually opened the article and there you go it's an online survey.
We are cooked. Instead of Trump improving relations with our allies he is making them mad.😭
Can’t say I disagree with them. Usually it’s the canucks always saying sorry but this one is on us. Sorry.
Wouldn't say "enemy" exactly, but I think it's fair to say there isn't a Western democracy in the world that views the USA as a reliable ally right now. Because you're a Russian asset.
Historically Canada also feels that Americans don't know much about us at all.

That's because most Americans are ignorant to anything that isn't about them. I am an American, and I would definitely leave if I could. My passport ran out, and I will try to get another one, but I'm not hopeful anymore. I am eligible for a UK passport through ancestral means, but since I'm on disability, I can't afford the immigration fees. I have always felt like a second citizen in the US. My mother was from England, as well as half of my family. I have been there several times and I absolutely loved my time there. My ex-wife is from there as well. Not everyone in the US is a far-right cultist, some of us are just as pissed about the threats to you guys as you are. By the way, go Blue Jays, keep Vladdy in blue.
You are correct, the only thing I know about Canada is your still part of the empire in some wierd way and you fought hard as fuck during WW2.
Kinda wierd I know more about Mexican history than yours
As they should.
I would have thought this would be much higher than 1/3.
