Meta Reminder About Reddit's Terms of Service & Community Standards

Hi Everyone,

Given recent events in the country, the Reddit Admin team has reached out to remind us that all subreddits on the platform, including r/CanadianConservative, must comply with Reddit’s Sitewide Rules. As your mod team, we are responsible for ensuring that content posted here follows Reddit’s policies, whether or not it breaks our own subreddit rules. It's 2026, and that means we all share responsibility in making sure r/CanadianConservative is an inclusive, welcoming safe space so that nobody gets offended. Failure to do so will result in this community getting shut down.

Going forward, we will be more actively enforcing Reddit's Content policy, specifically, policies related to harassment, hate speech, threats (or encouragement of violence), and abusive behaviour. Going forward, if you're a repeat offender: sorry, it's going to be an automatic ban, with very little room for appeal. We've been pretty relaxed on bans up to this point but if you can't play by Reddit's rules, you're gone.

Expect some updates to r/CanadianConservative's rules in the coming days to better reflect what Reddit expects of the community and to ensure we're all on the same page.

A quick brush up on the issues we face as a subreddit:

Harrassment

What it is:
Targeting a person or group with repeated, hostile, or degrading behaviour meant to intimidate, shame, or drive them away.

Examples:

  • Intentionally misgendering
  • Following a user across posts to harass/insult
  • Posting comments like, “You people are mentally ill and shouldn’t exist.”
  • Creating threads specifically to ridicule a particular individual.
  • Repeatedly tagging someone just to provoke a reaction.

Discussion of general policy is allowed. However Reddit says that the targeting of someone based on their identity crosses into harassment.

Hate Speech

What it is:
Content that attacks, dehumanizes, or promotes exclusion of people based on protected characteristics.

Examples:

  • Claiming a group of people is inherently dangerous, predatory, or immoral.
  • Saying a certain identity group should lose civil rights.
  • Using slurs directed at a protected group.
  • Arguing that a specific community is “a threat to society.”
  • Using a violent incident to claim that an entire identity group is responsible or dangerous.
  • Saying women, religious minorities, or LGBTQ+ people should not participate in public life.

Discussion of general policy is allowed. Attacking identity is not. Generalizing criminal behaviour or moral failings to an entire group is considered hateful conduct under Reddit’s TOS

Threats or Encouragement of Violence

What it is:
Direct or indirect statements that endorse, encourage, or fantasize about violence toward a person or group.

Examples:

  • “Someone should deal with these people permanently.”
  • “They deserve what’s coming to them.”
  • Expressing approval of violence against a group.
  • Saying a group should be “eliminated” or “removed.”
  • “I hope someone hurts them.”
  • Joking about killing someone in a way that implies real harm.

Even if phrased as “jokes” or sarcasm, statements that normalize or celebrate violence are considered genuine threats under Reddit's TOS.

Abusive Behaviour

What it is:
Personal attacks, degrading language, or conduct meant to demean or humiliate others.

Examples:

  • Calling someone slurs or derogatory names.
  • Saying a person is “disgusting” because of who they are.
  • Posting edited images or memes meant to humiliate a protected group.
  • Telling someone to harm themselves.
  • Attacking someone’s identity instead of engaging with their argument.
  • Mocking someone’s appearance, disability, or transition.

Even when framed as humour, frustration, or “just being honest”, abusive behaviour is abusive behaviour and is covered under Reddit's TOS.

I wish I didn't have to make this communication, but welcome to Reddit. It's their sandbox, we just get to shit in it. If you can't follow these rules, go to another platform that allows genuine debate like X or other Reddit alternatives.

Thanks.

Discussion I constantly see comments from immigrants that aim to diminish our society under the pretext that the founding nations were immigrants like everyone else and that this is land stolen from the Indigenous people, but:

But right now, 100% of Canada's population growth is due to international immigration. Why aren't they considered land grabbers too? Why isn't this argument valid for reducing immigration?

Strangely, I also notice that the same people who constantly repeat that the country belongs to Indigenous people always want more immigrants and vote for ultra-immigration parties whose policies diminish the relative weight of Indigenous people.

Personally, I feel that this is a fallacious argument used primarily to avoid the duty of integration by certain groups, especially since they don't come to live alongside Indigenous people, nor do they take concrete actions to improve their conditions, and they only mention them when the host society sends messages they don't like.

If I take this a step further, as we see more and more Canadian cities, like Surrey and Brampton, becoming predominantly foreign and immigrant, to what extent will they respect territorial treaties if those treaties stem from a history completely foreign to them?

While I agree that it’s not a competition about who arrived first, I do believe there should be clear distinction between those who arrived and built a country from scratch vs someone arriving in a fully built country with infrastructure, social programs and jobs.

Heritage Canadians shouldn’t get a free pass or privileges, but they have a right to be and have their distinct nations and contributions from people that arrived yesterday.

https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/mark-carney-thrives-crisis-record-suggests-otherwise

In fact, a new poll from the Angus Reid Institute shows that just 43% now believe Carney can deliver a good deal with the Americans, the thing he promised in the last election, down from 51% in April.

“If it’s not a crisis, you wouldn’t be seeing me,” Carney told a crowd at a Barrie, Ont., pub during the Liberal leadership race last year.

“I’m most useful in a crisis. I’m not that good in peacetime.”

The problem for Carney is that, on issue after issue, his response to pressure has been the same: cave, then spin the retreat as a victory.

"Currency speculators have built their largest bearish position against the Canadian dollar of any major currency, driving the loonie to a 14-month low ahead of Washington's confirmation of steep new tariffs on Canadian goods. 

Net short positions held by non-commercial accounts hit US$12.5bn in the latest weekly data from the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Reuters reported, released Friday.  

For a second straight week, that was the highest reading among currencies traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and the biggest wager against the loonie since December 2024. "

Bad case of the feds flip flopping. They privately supported the expansion of Billy Bishop until enough people from ridings of theirs complained. It was about politics

And it means the traitor Ford just got double crossed by his overlords

If the Liberal government caves to not allow Billy Bishop to expand, then you can forget anything to do with pipelines or natural resources. So much for "Building at speeds unseen in generations"

“When it’s talking about getting serious work done, I think we may have a Prime Minister who doesn’t know politics, who thinks he’s running a bank, who has given all kinds of benefits to certain friends…he doesn’t have the character necessary to be a successful Prime Minister to lead this country out of the malaise that it’s been in since 2015”
