I don't listen to any online internet propaganda unless it is present in both English and Francais.
And that's Quebecois Francais. We can tell the difference.

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.

"but to little avail"
THIS time. Next time, they'll do the exact same thing after studying what didn't work.
Oh, and the nazis lost in Canada? Explain their takeover of Alberta, then! You lost an entire state to the nazis, but all the foreign interference didn't do anything? Bullshit.
Stop allowing fascist broadcasts on your media immediately.
We can't just ban US content you know.
Oh, and the nazis lost in Canada? Explain their takeover of Alberta, then!
Easy, it was already taken over from before... Alberta has been an ignorant Conservative butt sniffing Province for the last 30 years
I lived in Canada for a while. Quebec to be precise.
I would argue the biggest interference in the country is perhaps the United States.

All these newspapers belong to Post Media, a company owned by americans living in New Jersey.
One of the biggest lobbying organization in Canada is actually american. Microsoft Canada very aggressively lobbies the federal government, provinces and even the small cities. Because they want them to keep buying expensive Microsoft Office licenses and Microsoft Windows licenses. They don't want Canadian institutions to use Linux or LibreOffice.
And what exactly has that to do with Canada's official report(s) on election interference?
Here you can find the latest with all the links: Government of Canada Publishes Election Security and Integrity Reports Covering the 45th General Election
There is much more on the official site. Among others, it reads:
Furthermore, in previously noted behaviours, the PRC has been observed engaging in transnational repression activities, which involve a range of tactics designed to exert influence and control beyond its borders. These tactics include leveraging PRC-based relatives and other connections to pressure those in Canada to refrain from adopting views the PRC sees as hostile, or to return to the PRC, and threatening PRC-based family members with an array of potential coercive actions, including detention or financial penalties.
It shows that election interference and influence is only a problem in the eyes of the Canadian government when Asians do it. When the US does it they're just being friendly, I guess.
What an absurdly weird take.
The US obviously interfers in and influences Canada's elections, on a greater scale and to greater effect, but the Canadian government doesn't seem to care about that. This is despite the fact that the US is vastly more dangerous to Candian sovereignity, with it waging a trade war on their economy and now threatening to make Canada the 51st state.
There's only a few ways to interpret this.
How do we always just know that foreign interference is gonna be pro conservative?
Nazis fuck everything up, and nation that wants to fuck up another one just has to introduce nazis.
Try the same thing with the radical left, and you get things like car-free areas, clean air, medicide for all, free education, working public services, etc...
That just helps the country become more stable, healthy, and educated.
That's why. It's fucking obvious. Very, very, very fucking obvious.
The concept of not playing fairly is intrinsic to conservative ideology
Because conservatives tend to he better at running things into the ground. Not to absolve liberals of blame for, you know, everything, but generally anything bad liberals do you can count on conservatives to do more of, so it just makes sense.
