A ten year old girl recovering from brain cancer was deported to Mexico and prevented from attending her necessary follow up appointment

She was a U.S. citizen, but it didn’t matter.

The cruelty is the point.

I hope this sweet kiddo can access the care she needs to make a full recovery, and shame on those ICE agents who thought this was “ok”

This is why we speak out. Unspeakable horrors are happening all around us and if we stay silent, it will change us.

Don’t stay silent. Resist.

To the United Statesians thinking that annexing Canada is funny or a good idea.
- - -
I really hate the thought of even writing this.

But it’s time to be abundantly clear. That idea of invading Canada might have been funny… the first time… in the 1770s.

But, wake the fuck up! We’re in 2025, not in the 1770s.

Your government is ruining the relationships with its own partners and allies. Today, you started a trade war on the World, including Australia, the European Union, Mexico, the United Kingdom. That’s on top of the one with Canada and Mexico from last week.
You will pay for that trade war, because that’s how tariffs work. There’s another way to call them: import taxes.

On top of that, your government doing way worse, your government is threatening to invade Canada, Greenland and Panama.
How would you feel if YOUR next door neighbour - Mr. Smith - decided to take YOUR OWN house, make it THEIRS and YOU don’t have a say in it. Let that sink in. Would YOU be okay with that? That's what you're threatening us with.

You know Canadians’ reputation for being calm and polite, usually going their merry way. Today, Canadians are rightfully angry, we are actually fucking pissed. And yet, you don't understand our reaction when we boo your national anthem?
We chose to have our own home, our own country - it’s democratic, independent, sovereign, strong and free. It was and it is OUR rightful decision to make, not yours.
It tries its hardest to do the best it can to support its population. It’s not perfect, make no mistake - we have many things to be rightfully ashamed for, but we work on ourselves almost every day.

So, to voice our anger:
- Yes, we will boo your anthem.
- Yes, we will not buy your goods.
- Yes, we will avoid stepping foot on your side of the border.
- Yes, we are fighting back and continue doing so.
- No, we won’t give up.
- No, you won’t take Canada, Greenland or Panama.


AND IF YOU STILL THINK THIS IS WHOLE THING IS A JOKE... NO, WE DO NOT FIND THIS FUCKING FUNNY AT ALL! IT HAS NEVER BEEN FUNNY TO US!

No one fucking wants any of this, because there will be no winners on any side. You will suffer, we will suffer.

Sincerely,
—This Really Angry and Annoyed Canadian

The mother of a Canadian woman illegally detained by ICE at the U.S. border wants to know when her daughter will be released.

The U.S. is not safe for anyone. Do not travel there.

“We eventually learned that about 30 people, including Jasmine, were removed from their cells at 3 a.m. and transferred to the San Luis Detention Center in Arizona. They are housed together in a single concrete cell with no natural light, fluorescent lights that are never turned off, no mats, no blankets, and limited bathroom facilities.”

A Canadian is now being held indefinitely by ICE

The US views Canadians as enemies now, not friends and neighbours

It is not safe to travel to the U.S. Please go elsewhere, it’s simply not worth the risk.

“My daughter, Jasmine, a 35-year-old Canadian, attempted to enter the U.S. on March 3, 2025, with a consulting visa for a company in the States.

Unfortunately, her visa was denied, and she was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at the San Ysidro border crossing, where she was held for three nights”

Communication with her has been extremely sporadic, and it is only thanks to one of her close friends with contacts in the U.S. that we have been able to receive updates. Yesterday, Austin Grabish, a reporter from ABC 10News was able to interview Jasmine. He also interviewed her friend who has been working tirelessly from Vancouver to bring Jasmine home. The story will air tomorrow, and from there, we hope other broadcasters will pick it up. What we have learned of the ICE system and its treatment of detainees is inhumane and deeply concerning. Being detained is one thing, but there's NO excuse for the way people are treated while in custody or for the delays in deportation. They are not criminals, and they just want to go home.Communication with her has been extremely sporadic, and it is only thanks to one of her close friends with contacts in the U.S. that we have been able to receive updates.

Unfortunately, her visa was denied, and she was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at the San Ysidro border crossing, where she was held for three nights. From there, she was transferred to Otay Mesa Detention Centre in San Diego and held for another three nights. On Sunday, March 9, the online tracking system indicated that she had been released. We assumed this meant she was being deported and escorted to an airport. However, 24 hours later, there was no sign of her, no communication, and we were extremely worried. We eventually learned that about 30 people, including Jasmine, were forcibly removed from their cells at 3:00 am and transferred to the San Luis Detention Center in Arizona.

Bernie is getting support and large crowds at his rallies. I am chuffed to see this. Maybe his voice will be heard, because the useless Democrats didn't follow the obvious clues.

Feel the Bern. Make a new party, a new voice. #USPoli

As a citizen of the United States, after hearing more and more stories like this I have to say it's probably best if people don't travel here. ICE has been bad from day one (created-post 9/11) but it's like horror stories from the Soviet Union I remember hearing as a kid now. It doesn't matter if you are coming from countries MAGA considers "good" like this German lady or "bad" ones. It doesn't matter if you have your documents in order and your nose clean. No one is safe from this sort of secret police style treatment. I'm sorry half my country voted for these monsters and cheer this shit on. We've failed ourselves and the rest of the planet. #uspoli #rant

The image contains a social media post by a user named "kare_audr" with a Canadian flag emoji. The post reads: "Quite aside from the damage to goodwill, which is already incalculable, the US is no longer a safe supplier of unprocessed food, because it's no longer tracking outbreaks of infections. No sane purchaser will buy produce that might contain E. coli, dairy that might contain listeria, meat that might contain salmonella, and the US is keeping it secret. Boycotting American produce, meat and dairy isn't just a matter of Canadian patriotism, it's also a matter of public health."

From Canadian History Ehx on FB

In 1890, the Tariff Act came into place in the United States. It placed tariffs on imports of up to 50%.

While touted as a way to build American industry, there was also the hope it would force an annexation of Canada. It backfired. Let's learn more.

Put forward by William McKinley, who was a Congressman at that point, the Tariff Act put duties across imports ranging from 38% to 49.5%.

McKinley was called the Napoleon of Protection. While some items had tariffs eliminated, most had tariffs increased.

One reason for the tariffs was to force the annexation of Canada. The McKinley Tariff declined to make an exception for Canadian products.

It was hoped this would make Canada more reliant on the US market, and push Canadians to become the 45th state.

Secretary of State James G. Blaine believed that annexation would eliminate competition with Canada over fishing and timber rights. Blane co-authored the Tariff Act.

He stated of annexation: "a grander and nobler brotherly love, that may unite in the end”

British politician Lyon Playfair saw the Tariff Act for what it was. He called it a covert attack on Canada.

Both Britain and the United States believed the Tariff Act would drive Canada to join the United States.

In reality, it had the complete opposite result.

The Tariff Act instead pushed Canada to align itself more with Britain. People began to rally behind their "love for Queen, flag, and country".

Sir John A. Macdonald used the tariffs as a rallying cry in the 1891 election and was able to win another majority government.

Within two years of the Tariff Act being passed, agricultural exports to Britain from Canada went from $3.5 million to $15 million.

Produce and animal exports to Britain grew from $16 million to $24 million during that same period.

The image is a collage featuring historical figures and newspaper clippings related to tariffs and political events. On the left, there is a black-and-white portrait of a man in a suit, identified as William McKinley, the 25th President of the United States. To the right, there is a newspaper clipping with the headline "A TRIUMPH FOR CANADIAN BARLEY," discussing the McKinley tariff bill and its effects. Below that, another newspaper clipping reads "Cleveland Elected. McKinleyism Is Ended Forever. Tariff is a Tax. WE ARE THE PEOPLE!" indicating a political shift with the election of Grover Cleveland. On the far right, there is a portrait of another man, identified as John A. Macdonald, the first Prime Minister of Canada.

I was listening to a podcast on Trump's dismantling of the Department of Education (might have been The Daily) and related topics, and I heard one of the commentators refer to Betsy DeVos as a "billionaire philanthropist."
Glad I wasn't drinking milk.

I guess that's another term we can add to the list of oxymorons, like "jumbo shrimp" and "military intelligence."
