This makes more sense to me because antisemitism is already covered by "no racism" but we all know leftists who browse this board think that you can't be racist against white people so we need to specify no antiwhiteness for the leftists.

The rule is already, quote: "No racism/antisemitism." Are you suggesting we drop the no antisemitism rule? Cuz that not going to happen, for the same reason I outlined above.
No because off-topic isn't a rule. We have no rules about being on-topic. You can discuss whatever you want here, short of the items explicitly prohibited by the rules (racism, antisemitism, doxxing, threats, illegality, bots & sketchy links). We also don't have rules against discussing non-Canadian content. This is a place for Canadians (and foreign friends/visotors) to discuss whatever they like within reason, not a place for discussion exclusively about Canadian issues. Half of our top scoring posts on metacanada were about international subjects.
Again, affording them that space would attract a deluge of them in here to attempt a takeover. We successfully repelled several such offensives against metacanada over the years and we know now that you have to either take a zero tolerance policy, or be conquered wholesale because as soon as you tell them there's a space where they're allowed, they all flood in en masse and take over.
I wish it weren't the case, and I don't even really blame them for trying, but that's the reality of the situation given the circumstances. It's either zero 1488'ers or all 1488ers. There's no in between. And we've fought too hard to keep the 1488ers from conquering our space and our brand over the years to just surrender it to them now.
