Rules:

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.

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.

Summary

A new Leger poll reveals that 27% of Canadians now consider the U.S. an "enemy" country, while 30% still see it as an ally.

The survey follows escalating tensions, including President Trump’s tariff threats and his suggestion that Canada should become a U.S. state.

Trump remains widely unpopular in Canada, with 74% viewing him unfavorably. Political affiliation influences perceptions, with Conservatives more likely to see the U.S. as an ally.

Liberals, NDP, and Bloc Québécois supporters view the U.S. more negatively.

Gum up the works. File fake reports with ice from burner phones. Burn cop cars. Force their hand. Make them work for every byte they take iff the servers.

Anything more than a single day protest and resignations.

The bigger issue is most of the population isn't aware of this.

This is one example of many, but people are still largely OK with Trump. America is stuck in filter bubbles like you wouldn't believe, and it's getting worse.

I... Don't know how to fix that. I'd fuck up Facebook, Twitter, or cable news at any opportunity, but they rule people's minds now.

If you can pull a few people out of filter bubbles, it helps. But it's up to you to decide if it's worth the investment, it really depends on where you are and what you can do.

You can also engage in one-person propaganda efforts, like putting up critical posters/stickers. Just don't get caught.
