The Canadian nation was born in response to the violence of the first American civil war and the threat of invasion. We built a country on the principle of compromise, protection of minorities and the rejection of political violence.
We hold to those principles today

No matter what we’re going through, we always retain the power to respond with virtue, with humor, with grace, to take wisdom from it. That’s real strength. That’s real freedom.

Elie Wiesel warned that, “to forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time.” Canada will remember – so that “Never Again” is always true.

On this day in 1945, the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau exposed the scale of Nazi crimes to the world and became a symbol of the horrors of the Holocaust, the resilience of its survivors, and the guilt of its enablers.

This is dystopian… and not just because they’re dressed like a scene from the handmaids tale.

These are mostly children.

This is where Liam Ramos is being held.

They’re screaming “let us out” and protesting the brutal conditions.

These kids are braver than every ICE thug holding them hostages

ICE & U.S. Customs & Border Protection employed at least 30 people with sexual & violent criminal histories in recent years.

At least 20 agents committed offenses with underage victims. The bulk of abuse happened within the last two years.

This article includes names of the agents.
Here’s How Many ICE and CBP Agents Allegedly Preyed on Children
Apparently the institutions are riddled with accused sex criminals.

"I said this to the president: I meant what I said in Davos. It was clear it was a broader set of issues that Canada was the first country to understand—the change in U.S. trade policy that he had initiated—and we're responding to that," says PM Carney re: call with U.S. President Trump.

As someone from a long line of Scots, this touches me so deeply.

Crowds have gathered outside the US consulate in Edinburgh to protest the murder of Alex Pretti by ICE.

Tapadh leibh to all the protesters who stand with the majority of Americans who are horrified by what is happening. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
