While the U.S. convoy’s grievances are a little broader than its Canadian counterpart, the core goal remains fixed upon ending lockdown mandates members believe have helped to upend society.

They were also upset with rampant government spending, unbridled inflation widening the national wealth gap, Big Tech censorship, swelling authoritarianism, corporate corruption, so-called cancel culture, what they see as legacy media outlets lying to advance specific agendas (e.g. alleging Canadian protestors engaged in widespread violence), and a political class that seems wholly unaccountable for past misdeeds.

Reading the article it does not appear she was doing anything illegal or fishy like you pointed out. She was just getting her work visa renewed at the San Ysidro Port of Entry along the mexico boarder, which she has done successfully before in the past. You do this by crossing into mexico and then crossing back.

Relevant lines from the article

Mooney moved to Los Angeles in summer 2024, working on her business with a three-year work visa, which she applied for successfully by entering the U.S. from Mexico. She was trying to do the same thing after her first visa was unexpectedly revoked in November.

Len Saunders, an immigration lawyer based in Blaine, Wash., told Global News that he is not Mooney’s lawyer but he did speak to her a few weeks ago after being referred by a fellow client.

He said he is familiar with the San Ysidro Port of Entry and has referred clients who are in that area to cross into Mexico and then come back in order to get their visas renewed.

“When she told me she was going there, I advised her not to, only because of the current political climate,” he said.

Saunders said Mooney told him she had been to that border crossing before and everything was fine and she was confident about getting the visa.

The irony

To shreds you say?!

By this logic is the platform its self not breaking the rules by allowing a forum for the conversation to take place?

Getting band for something like this is like the equivalent of seeing a graffiti artist painting something on a public wall, smiling or nodding in approval, and getting a ticket handed to you around the corner for "participating".

I can't believe we are riding this same rollercoaster again after only 5 years.

Price of energy increases for Americans. Trumps solution increase the price of aluminium for Americans.

That will show them.

Outright bans don't work, viable alternatives and proper public messaging about who owns the platforms might do the trick.

Similarly for news and media outlets, too much Canadian news is controlled by American companies.

Is this a miscarriage cake? That's awful!

Also better for wildlife and pets.

I know of a friend that had their dog jump out of 6 story apartment because of fireworks in the area. It did not end well.

That's not really how statistics work.

For example, 1 in 10 dentists recommended a specific brand of toothpaste.

You could know 10 dentists in your town and not one of them recommends that specific toothpaste. But in another town 2 out of 10 might. This means between both towns you are left with a 1 out of 10 average.

1/10 is equal to 2/20 = 10%

So, if one town might have a really high shooting rate and 100% of the residents in that town were witnesses and the next town over had no shootings at all.

If we assume both towns have the same number of residents we would be left with a 50% of all residents in the area are witnesses to a shooting. This means if you lived in the town with no shooting and were told 50% of residents were witnesses you would not be able to find a single person to confirm the theory. Even if you knew everyone in your specific town.

Does this mean you and I should stop shopping at stores like Walmart or Costco, The Bay, Home Depot, Lowe's?

Or can we still shop at Walmart but only buy Canadian items?

SmartCentres Real Estate Investment Trust owns the land that Walmart's operate on. They are Canadian owned and generate revenue from rent.

That's action is called expropriation...

There are plenty of examples around the global and what usually plays out next.

The trouble is not that automakers can't continue to produce/assembly, its that prices will skyrocket (higher cost to source materials) which means consumers will need to pay more.

If the game is delisted and you have bought it is it still downloaded and playable.

Lets start poaching America Tech and knowledge workers to immigrat to Canada, could be a excellent opportunity especially with all the cuts and "efficiency restructuring "

I understand the sentiment, but just one thing to note/point out, without argument to your point or view.

These are American business that both employ Canadian people and pay Canadian taxes. The profits are American on the one hand, but the economic stimulus to Canada is a benefit on the other hand.

Personally I am a little conflicted in this, I don't want to see Canadian people loose their jobs.

Though if a foreign owned company is operating inside of our borders with no Canadian presence this would be a no-brainer. I would probably want that type of company to double their resolve and invest in our people with in country manufacturing and production as a example.

A masterpiece, I can't believe it was not nominated for a Oscar.

I guess news about publishing tariff news is not classified as tariff news.

Hit by a playwall.
