So as an update from this I did hear back from 4/4 MPs that I contacted. I believe there is concern, but that there needs to be public pressure given *waves at US-Canada tensions*. But I believe that contacting your MP is a good way to do this. Tools to do so in the thread below. ⬇️
There is not a lot Canadians can do about ICE, but we can ask Parliament to investigate Canadian companies doing business with them, like Hootsuite. Call or email your MP - or contact the INDU House committee MPs. Will post link below. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...
Hootsuite CEO says ICE contract will stand as long as agency honours terms and conditions
‘We did nothing wrong here,’ head of Vancouver social media company said in internal call with employees

It feels to me like the American fascist regime is trying to pack an unsustainably large amount of evil into a small amount of time. Perhaps they know just how long they have until It Happens...

You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.
Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.
Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

Anyone remember when Ontario had an election won (with 43% of the vote) by a party campaigning on _fighting_ Trump? Surely that wouldn’t be the same party now using their majority to consolidate power at Queen’s Park and reduce democratic sources of opposition
And now the Peel District School Board Trustees have been fired by the Ford Government. One by one, they’ll take them all if we can’t stop them. #onpoli #omted news.ontario.ca/en/release/1...
