[email protected] 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.

    They removed a comment essentially saying “I’m Canadian” as misinformation? Do Canadians not exist?

        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.

      Canada is a country made up for the comedy TV series Letterkenny.

      Canadians are a hoax perpetrated by the Scottish to sell cold weather.

      I mean, just listen to that accent. Clearly made up.

      Come on don’t tell me you believe they’re real? No one can survive weather that cold. It’s an obvious fairy tail.

        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
