Statement by Heather McPherson, NDP Foreign Affairs Critic, on reports that 150 Canadians have been held by ICE this year. #cdnpoli heathermcpherson.ndp.ca/news/stateme...

And not a word about it on the news.😡 One would think that there be an official statement from Carney about this, how he’s handling the situation & insisting that Canadians have access to representation.🤔 There are people I know who aren’t even aware of the numbers of Canadians being detained 😳

Begin the process of convicting Trump of crimes against humanity. This way, when he travels he can be arrested in accordance with international law. The dip shit is dumb enough to risk it.

The LNG pipeline that the B.C. NDP government recently approved has investment from Blackstone. Bechtel is in there, too. Major ownership from Western LNG, Texas. They’re using First Nations as a cover.

How is the gov't complicit - they have issued a travel warning for the US - there isn't more they can do. People are responsible for their own stupidity.

We haven't issued a travel warning for the US. The govt site still has it as a green, meaning it is safe to go to. It should be yellow, at least. I've been to yellow countries & felt much safer than I do about going to the US. Our govt is doing nothing.

Yhe Canadian government has issued updated travel advice for the USA, warning that visitors should ensure they meet all entry requirements,understand that their electronic devices may be searched. While it is not a travel ban, the advisory suggests ....

The govt has awarded that company millions in contracts. At the very least they can cancel those contracts. And there is a lot the govt can do if a company is working for another country threatening our sovereignty..

Garda is a Canadian company. I do not care what it costs. Those costs are worth it to decouple from a company contracting to concentration camps in a fascist nation. My morals & ethics extend beyond my bank account.

Yes... Garda World is a private sector business that can do business w whoever it wants to of its own volition. But the Canadian govt doesn't have to do business w GW. The Canadian govt can take its business and Canadian taxpayer dollars elsewhere.
aug 23, 2025, 11:45 pm • 2 1 • view
The Canadian govt is giving Garda World govt contracts using Canadian tax💰. This makes the govt complicit. Considering Carney’s bluster about the US, the correct response to GW would be that if they're in the US concentration camp business, then the Canadian govt will take its business elsewhere

It's getting too close to the wire Canada. What are you waiting for? The USA cannot seem to stop him and it's not Canada's job to do so but it is Canada's job to inform Canadians of the escalating risk. Doing nothing will not absolve Canada's government. Appeasement gets you nowhere.
