There are good reasons anyone would mistrust self identified ICE agents: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-03-20/ice-impersonators-scams-target-immigrants-tips-to-protect-yourself

Fuck ICE

CBSA do your job eh.

Stanley’s profile has also risen since then after the publication of several books on propaganda and fascism. The Munk school is building a program with the view that there’s an “international struggle against democracy” and provides a “very exciting intellectual opportunity”, he said.

“I don’t see it as fleeing at all,” he said. “I see it as joining Canada, which is a target of Trump, just like Yale is a target of Trump.”

Elbows the fuck up.

How long do you think until an ICE agent is killed in the line of "duty"? A week, a month? And how many seconds after it happens will the government use it as an excuse to ratchet up the violence?

You dropped this: /s

What is the Turkish government saying about this I wonder.

Molon Labe motherfucker.

Hey Americans, is this your government going too far? Or are you just being conditioned to express your rage online and then wait for the next one?

What are you going to do about this?

Up here in Canada, we will fight tooth and nail against your Fascist government. What can we expect from YOU in this fight?

When you say "Zionist supremacim", what exactly do you mean, buddy? Like, very very very precisely.

Also, am I right to understand that you consider ...Putin's Russia a country that we need to develop closer ties to? Like, this place?

I've heard that Greenland crime is very high this time of year. It's when the pre-April Hygge gang trials typically take place with irresponsible snowmobile racing that can be frankly deadly. The Greenlandic government should call the Danish army to provide a 24-7 heavy armed escort to these VIPs. For their own protection. Who knows when a Hygge snowmobile night attack.

Meanwhile, Canadians: "I'm actually terrified to go to the US because of ICE".

If only someone had told him that Putin doesn't negotiate in good faith.

Oh wait, that's precisely what Zelensky was trying to fucking say before the idiot of a VP that Trump has started dicking around in front of the cameras.

I don't think that's actually true. I detest FPTP but Westminster systems all around have all sorts of smaller parties that work because they have concentrated power bases. The NDP, the Bloc, etc have been electing MPs for decades. If what you're saying is true, they would have been disappeared by now.

Please please please people don't parrot brain-dead American takes that not voting for Carney is voting for PP. We are running a parliamentary election in a Westminster system. There is no single election, there are 338 elections. We don't elect a prime minister, we elect a parliament.

Think, and vote strategically.

While it is absolutely true that the blackmail holds in ridings where it's a competitive Conservative-Liberal race, it is a shit take in ridings where eg the race is between Conservatives and NDP (where Liberals would be the spoiler) or where the race is between the Liberals and the NDP, or the Bloc or the Greens (a Liberal minority dependent on the NDP/BQ/GP is actually a possible outcome that keeps PP out power and can moderate Carney's neoliberal tendencies).

So, basically if the conservatives have a chance to win your riding, vote whoever has the highest chance to keep them out. Otherwise, vote your conscience.

I'm not interested at being respectful towards Trump.

Israeli authorities routinely kidnap Palestinian civilians and convict them through kangaroo military courts and disappear them in prisons run by a "Jewish Power" extremist.

This isn't a "two assholes" situation. One party in the conflict has the other under brutal occupation and apartheid, and is in the process of ethnically cleansing and genociding it. Calling it a "two assholes" situation is ignoring that dynamic. Sort of like saying the Apartheid regime in South Africa and the ANC are somehow on equal moral footing. Bull Shit.

Jews lived in the area for millennia. So did non-jews (like, read the Torah, bro). Christians and Muslims have lived there since Christianity and Islam became religions respectively. Why should Jews get exclusive national determination in that bit of land? Who has claim? No one has claim. All have claim.

You are spreading misinformation: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/germany-bans-pork-under-sharia-law/

And of course Islam is as European as Christianity is Middle Eastern: both are true.

Legault keeps "solving" problems that don't exist to try to appear more nationalistic than the PQ.

They are just pushing moral panic against Muslims to appear like they are doing something to protect QC culture. At the same the same time they have defunded french language classes. And they keep not saying anything about how the feds are consistently discriminating against African francophone potential immigrants.

There is no culture war with Muslims in actual Quebec society beyond the shit the CAQ is stirring to stay in the news. There are no armies of niqab wearing fanatics trying to take over our cities. But it costs the government nothing to push this crap. This is all shadowboxing for appearances.

US officials claim move was to curb drug trafficking.

Ah, the famous Quebec-Vermont drug corridor.

These guys are just a couple of steps away from "it has electrolytes, it's what the plants crave".

At this point I feel bad for Vermonters.

Nah, it's not the same thing. Donald is talking about diplo-annexing us. Or in less gamy terms, he's talking about a hostile takeover.
