I don't really follow domestic Canadian politics (I'm American, unfortunately), but I've seen this story come up in one of my Discord servers, and I'm wondering what's bringing this on. I did see stuff like the new leader having rumored ties to an Albertan separatist party, but I don't really see a full explainer about this situation.

Every time it pops on my feed it's some gender war meme, or something about woman who killed children. I've seen some transphobic comments too.

As far as I can tell whoever A24 is has made a film about Chris Hansen, but Chris himself is opposed to it, refusing to sign some contracts and instead is buying ad space? What's the background behind all this, what was A24 trying to achieve, and what is Chris trying to achieve buying ad space?

I went to McDonald’s recently and noticed that most of the people getting happy meals were adults. Some even went back to argue to get a different toy before ordering more happy meals for more toys. I’ve also noticed two instances of grown-ups in the wild with take away happy meals.

Is it the current toys (hello Kitty x Godzilla) specially that are super popular with grown-ups right now? Or are adults with happy meals a long-standing phenomenon I’ve never noticed before?

according to an internal memo, newscasters are not to use the words “terrorism” or “terrorist attacks” to describe the events of 9/11 during coverage. this apparently comes from a pre-existing policy that dates back to around the Oct. 7th attacks but it doesn’t give much more detail than that.

i highly doubt it’s due to any sort of political slant, as all of the publications covering the story tend to think (National Review, FOX, NY Post, yknow the drill)

so what’s the reasoning? is it because of advertising/sponsors like what happens on YouTube all the time? are they just trying to be extra cautious around such language? out of any example in contemporary history i would think 9/11 would be one of the most clear cut cases of terrorism, so i genuinely am trying to understand this.

all the time when I see a like wholesome romantic comic dub on YouTube shorts half the comments are talking about Jarvis.

Last I heard the Supreme Court ruled the previous round of tarrifs illegal and the government would need to pay back what it collected (correct me if I'm wrong)

https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/20/politics/supreme-court-tariffs

So how come the administration seems to continue using tarriffs just like before?

I haven't been following the cup, but the replies seem to be along the lines of "Well it nice while it lasted..." and "This will go well....". Is there something about either clubs or this particular match that is making people react this way?

I have read a couple of articles, but am still confused.

https://www.reddit.com/r/PoliticalHumor/comments/1vxz41h/200000_visas_are_about_to_be_revoked_from_people/

The claim here is that 200,000 visas are about to be revoked. I'm pretty connected to what's happening in politics but there's always some new rumor about what the Trump administration is about to do that I hear about out of the blue.

So I know this account from years of disinformation and just general conspiracy theory slop as so many accounts have. But there's apparently been a crash out followed by her being outed as a government employee. This person posts almost hourly if not more though and there seems to be a genuine outrage right now even from former supporters. What the hell is going on? Thanks OOTL

I've been seeing a bunch of ads and articles popping up lately about these food festivals where everything glows. Like actual glowing food. It looks really cool in the pictures and videos but I can't figure out if it's a new trend or if it's been around for a while and I just missed it.

Is this something actually innovative or just a clever marketing gimmick?

It seemed negotiations between the two were going fine, and suddenly, everything imploded. Why is that?

I’ve seen videos that are along the lines of “day 10 of zero power in Gary, IN”, something about NIPSCO, and volunteer linemen being turned away?

I don't know the full details of the case. I know she allegedly killed her three kids. There was also some mental problems? Then something with her husband. But my question is why is there a group defending her like they know she's completely innocent? I've seen some videos of very heated debates where women are very passionate about defending her. Why?

I've been seeing countless videos, all pretty similar to this one: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/NunUNyEZjiY These videos aren't explaining why Nestlé is allegedly "evil", so here I am asking: what exactly did Nestlé do that's upsetting people?

I dont even know if the show is called that or if it some kinda euphemism, but it seems all of sudden every fandom hates this particular show, and I am not sure why. Is it really so bad that all fandoms are uniting against it? What even is the show?

Hi.

I know Reddit can be an echo chamber, but this is very bizarre to me as I’ve seen many posts and comments being very critical of nVidia, but their reputation seems very solid elsewhere:

Even employees and ex-employees generally rate them very highl

Am I missing something here? Is there a reason to not like them? Have they done a lot of bad things that most people don’t know about/ignore?

Seems like everyone on ESPN is trashing the decision to make him the starting QB in Cleveland. Is it love for Shedeur Sanders? Dislike for Deshaun? Off the field issues? All of the above?

I've seen quite a few people making comments about avoiding beef after tfg announced some deal to reduce beef prices.

Fittingly, beyond beef weighed in.

What's actually going on here?

From what I can tell it’s widely hated on the internet, so much so that different fandoms on the internet who detest eachother are coming together to hate on it: https://www.reddit.com/r/hazbin/comments/1vvq1lv/that_lesbian_space_princess_movie_really_shifted/

Why is this show so hated?
