On Sunday, a group of 250 Iranian legislators introduced a motion that requires the administration to designate the Canadian Army and federal police forces as terrorist organizations.

Historically speaking, from an indigenous perspective, the characterization of the RCMP as terrorist is not too far off the mark.

I mean, we're kind of known for war crimes too. Was anyone in WW1 worse than the Canadians?

[-] ClanOfTheOcho@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I'm not familiar with this. Can you give a "for example?"

[-] Taniwha420@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Lots of good articles on Canadian brutality in WW1 if you do a search. As for war crimes in particular, here's one of many articles mentioning how Canadians killed prisoners of war:

Oh jeez, what did we do, what did we do...

Just a little of this, you know war time stuff

Edit: Don't mess with the Cannuks

Fair turnaround.

It's a stupid political label as long as our nastiest friends are worse than our nicest enemies. Nobody's about to declare Saudi anything terroristic regardless of how many get chopped up, for example.

Not to mention Saudi Arabia’s massive attack on the World Trade Center, pentagon, and attempted attack on White House

I mean, they didn't have zero role in it.

Wherever they go, Tim Horton's Beiber-bites eventually follow. So yeah...in this case I'd agree with that assessment.

The Mounties too, I see.

Anyone who's seen Lore Lodge says that they probably should be called a terrorist organization

[-] CyberMonkey404@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago

What's a lore lodge?

A YouTube channel that discusses Missing 411 style content: people disappearing under mysterious circumstances.

A running theme in their show is that overwhelmingly the RCMP are criminally negligent in their duties, are very quick to write off missing persons as runaways, do absolute garbage tier investigation, and that's where my comment came from.

Not necessarily a topical episode but I like this one: https://youtu.be/f7389EXjdBg

Thanks!

Lol butthurt Iran. I'll make sure to let boys know in Angus 🤣

Um, sorry. We'll be more polite.

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.
