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.
-
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.

Well lets see I wonder what the reason for this could be. Could it be the deal we signed with Greeland on Thursday? Could it be the 2.5bil US companies owe us on Monday? Could it be the fact they murdered one of our Citizens? gee which one could it be?
Fuck em and fuck that country. I hate Nazi's and it makes my stomach churn that I have to live above a nation full of them.
Oh, but didn't you hear? They hold all the cards, despite not actually holding any cards....
Good. I was a bit worried that we'd make some concessions to end the tariffs. Once you've paid the Dane-geld you'll never get rid of the Dane. We have other partners to trade with.
If I were say... Disney, I'd consider planning a Canada Disney Land due to all the missed non-American's avoiding tourism in Florida. Just Sayin'...
Wait until Tremp finds out all digital services now need to charge GST in Australia (10%) since like 10 years ago.
Meh...I need to go for a shit.....RS
"We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying..."
How has he still not learned that it is Americans and American businesses that pay the tariffs.
Right, but he can't raise income tax very much, and he needs money to give to all the rich fuckers, so a big federal sales tax "disguised" as a tariff is a decent way to raise funds.
Don't need to raise the income tax. The government makes up the money. Could simply turn on the printers and give to the billionaire. The cruelty is the point as it always is.
He knows, but he also knows that his base is too dumb to recognize it, so he lies because raising taxes on Americans is unpopular.
He's committed to the "big lie" strategy. And unfortunately it works well for what it does if you dgaf about consequences imposed by reality playing none of your games
He also knows that if he just repeats things people will believe them, even in spite of evidence they can see, feel and touch.

How dare the Canadian government get American companies to pay their fair share for operating here [in Canada]
How dare they charge *checks notes* the same thing Visa and Mastercard charge everyone in our entire country for everything.

Canada needs to start cashing in their US Bonds. Let's watch the US economy start to crash.
I feel like that’s probably our nuclear option and we’re holding out for now since it’s likely Trump chickens out again
It's Carney's primary strategy. This plus the Canadian who died in ICE custody should speed up the sell off. Japan will likely join.

...that's... not how this works...
After all this time he still has no idea how tariffs work.
Or he's a fucking liar.

Congrats to Canada on their newfound status of not having to listen to trumps noise anymore.
And no worries, America will be back soon on its knees groveling for lumber and fish. Just ship it through Mexico, itll be fine.

Set to take effect on June 30, the DST requires U.S. companies like Amazon, Google, Meta, Uber and Airbnb pay a three per cent levy on revenue from Canadian users
Good.

This is the equivalent of that obnoxious kid in the neighbourhood saying they're taking their basketball home and no one can play basketball any more .... then after he leaves, someone else brings another basketball anyway.
