!world@lemmy.world mods once again proving their incapacity to host a space for “world” news.
Terminology citation
Under Canada's Westminster-style parliamentary democracy, the terms government and Government of Canada refer specifically to the prime minister, Cabinet, and other members of the governing party inside the House of Commons, but typically includes the federal public service and federal departments and agencies when used elsewhere.[7] This differs from the United States, where the executive branch is referred to as an administration and the federal government encompasses executive, legislative, and judicial powers, similar to the Canadian Crown.
Emphasis mine. In particular I note that capitalization is not a factor. The fact that Voroxpete didn’t specify “capital G Government” doesn’t make a difference as I originally thought when reading.
You're viewing a single thread.
They removed a comment essentially saying "I'm Canadian" as misinformation? Do Canadians not exist?
Canada is a country made up for the comedy TV series Letterkenny.
FUCKING EMBARRASSING!
Canadians are a hoax perpetrated by the Scottish to sell cold weather.
I mean, just listen to that accent. Clearly made up.
jordanlund knows a truth we aren’t strong enough to accept, clearly
Ugh, I knew it'd be Jordanlund before I saw the instance. I like them as a fellow forum user, but they should NOT be moderating anything. They remove comments they disagree with and use the moderation reason as a "you're wrong and my opinion is the final word now" field. Absolutely bullshit.
I could see their tendencies working well in NCD, r/atheism or another community with a very specific vision and focus from leadership.
not world news though lmao
Come on don’t tell me you believe they’re real? No one can survive weather that cold. It’s an obvious fairy tail.
Now they know how i feel as an aussie. If im an actor wheres my paycheck.
How bad must it be for New Zealanders? Their entire country doesn't exist.
Lemmy.nz exists. No lemmy.usa as far as I know. Does this mean the USA do not exist? /s
On a more serious note, there is !AskUSA@discuss.online
There's lemmyusa.com, though that one is relatively new.
3 users, 2 posts (it says, but only see 1?), 1 community
Only 1 admin, though looks like a joint account.
Strictly Photon UI though, not base Lemmy?
Neat sidebar text (for those who can find it:-).
We'll see I suppose.
Well at least everyone knows not to put a fake country like theirs on the map.
Now they don't!
Don't tell me, you still believe in Canada 🤣
I've often stood in the south shore of Lake Superior, straining my eyes, wondering what's on the other side of that vast expanse of water. They say that's where Canada is. I've never seen it, I don't think it actually exists
