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.

If it was the other way around he'd never let Carney hear the end of it - "Carney, the guy who had to get someone else to quit in order to keep his seat".
Politicians gonna politics, no surprise there.
He already didn't let Carney hear the end of it - "Carney, who was not elected..."
So I'm guessing Alberta is Canada's version of Alabama?
Probably closer to Texas, since we have a bunch of oil.
Ah. I see.
milhouse is a fucking snake and a con-artist.
Are there not residency requirements?
My riding decided to elect someone who lives two cities away, so I guess not at the local level at least
Nope
Man that seems so Twisted to me. How can you represent people you don't spend any time around? How can you claim to know their needs if you don't even live among them?
I'm not Canadian, but I've previously known that in the US you only have to live in the same state as the district you're representing. An argument in favor of that concept (that I admittedly just made up) is that congressional boundaries get rewritten every decade. In theory, this could be used to push a rep out of Congress if someone really wanted to, if they were required to live in district. State boundaries are much more stable so this is pretty good immunity to that.
Imagine if he fails to be elected again in the partials
82% in favour of conservatives during the last election but Carney can wait 6 months to launch the by-election, that might be long enough to piss off some conservatives that might want to get rid of PP.
He'll win, the only reason he's coming to Alberta is because it's a slam dunk.
that was predictable
Is it within parliamentary procedure to address him as the former member from Ottawa-Carleton?
Actual beta male
American here. Can someone explain why Carney won't be seeking NDP support?
To form an alliance you mean? The Bloc Quebecois already said they'll be quiet for the next year as there's lots to do, having two parties to work with means you don't necessarily need to always bend the same way so it's advantageous to leave the door open to sometimes compromise left and sometimes compromise in favour of what Quebec wants...
Political parties should just standby the morals and principles they try to uphold.
If they align together, great they can both vote yes. If they don't then they don't. Pandering to other parties to get their vote just gets in the way of what you are actually trying to achieve.
That's my take anyways
Nobody respects you Milhouse
That was quicker than I expected.
I for one didn't expect someone to resign this quickly.
PP has Mr. Kurek to thank. Some of you will understand this statement differently than others. 😂
