Of course you're Canadian. That doesn't make you the tiniest bit biased. You know there exists thriving Canadian communities where you can read news involving your country too? Lemmy and other English speaking communities are so heavily dominated by e.g. US and Canada that the news involving these countries naturally appear in normal "general" news communities. The entire point of communities such as these is to give attention to things that yankees and wannabe yankees wouldn't ever dream to give a single shit about.

Would you say Mexico and the US are practically the same?

Does Mexico e.g. share the largest undefended border in the world with US?

Canada is so tightly tied to US that it's practically the same to anyone who isn't from north America. I understand that it can be hard to accept for a yankee like you. People who want to follow world news that isn't focused on US internal news isn't going to care for NA internal news where the majority of the focus is put on US.

Didn't say it was against the rules. Did you read my post at all?

USA is also "part of the world". Despite this, US internal news are disallowed according to the rules of the subreddit. The rules of a community is not defined by its name, it's defined by the explicit rules.

While this isn't technically US internal news, it's North American news which goes against the spirit of this sub.
