[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.
I think people need to start saying:
Government of Canada (aka: The Prime Minister & Cabinet, and Members of Legislature supporting thereof)
thats true, how dare anyone use language differently from the GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD 🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅🔥🔥🔥
I’ve said this before, I’ll say this again. [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected] (all of which are run by roughly the same group of mods), is a growing cancer in the fediverse.

They removed a comment essentially saying “I’m Canadian” as misinformation? Do Canadians not exist?
jordanlund knows a truth we aren’t strong enough to accept, clearly
Canada is a country made up for the comedy TV series Letterkenny.
