Thanks for demonstrating just how lDIOTIC you are. You probably don't even know that camp has been flooded. Is Alligator Alcatraz already flooded? The hastily constructed detention camp in the Everglades that began processing immigrant detainees late this week has already flooded once, may not meet hurricane codes and is not officially approved or funded by the federal government.3 days ago Heat, storms, mosquitos the big threats at Alligator Alcatraz ... Only an lDIOT would want to stay there. 🤮

Internal trade: report warns won’t generate billions as billed “barriers to interprovincial trade, investment and labour mobility are significantly overstated,” and calls the government’s publicly stated motivations for increasing internal trade “largely political theatre.” “The alleged costs of interprovincial trade irritants have been vastly overstated, as virtually all goods, services and investment flows freely across provincial borders,” the report states. “New mutual recognition legislation and the removal of important policy exceptions in the 2017 Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA) will further reduce governments’ capacity to protect the environment, spur domestic economies, promote workplace health and safety, and stop predatory behaviours against consumers,” it also warns. No I'm not a big fan of the center of policy alternatives, but if even the last Wing Cruise are starting to go after Carney and say that his plan is flawed and won't generate results that's a bad sign for the liberals. And frankly some of their points make sense, I've always seriously questioned whether or not there are billions and billions and billions of dollars in new trade to be done in Canada amongst provinces. Certainly more would be better and it would be definitely better with more labor mobility if they could coordinate their various accreditations and licenses. But will it generate multiple billions as the libs suggested? Some even suggesting it could replace the revenues lost to tariffs? I don't think it's going to generate as much economic activity as the liberals were hoping for. Which means he's given up the dST, spending has to go up, we're very obviously still going to have to pay for tariffs and this isn't going to generate the revenue they were hoping for either. The revenue picture is starting to look more and more bleak

I think this is well deserved for facilitating negotiated settlement in major war zone. You may not like it but this is what peace through strength looks like.

Over 50 Canadians arrested and imprisoned by ICE

Noviello probably stuck his nose where it doesn't belong. Again, stop breaking our immigration laws. There's no more f*cking around. -

Read the OP in full and then read the tweet from the school board I posted. Pretty congruent. I, for one, don't feel any guilt celebrating this country on Canada Day. No need to feel shame about celebrating it, no need for an asterisk. I'm also not "a settler" by definition, I was born in this country. If people want a word to call non-indigenous people how about "non-indigenous"? Here's one indigenous person's view on that (where they can't help but throw out some racism of their own): https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/article-for-some-the-definition-of-settler-is-as-difficult-to-pin-down-as/ Also, "Turtle Island" is what some indigenous groups called/call the continent of North America, it's not a synonym for Canada, which is a distinct entity. Maybe we can have a Turtle Island Day and celebrate the continent, do it with the US and Mexico etc. I'm all for "truth and reconciliation" but truth needs to come from all sides. No more myth-making narratives. The problem with the left I've noticed (and used to be guilty of) is that they tend to only see the negative in anyone/anything that is strong. The US, the wealthy, corporations, you name it. Of course that's because when you're strong you have power, and sometimes the powerful abuse their power and can harm the less powerful, which is fine and good to criticize. E.g. It's easy to rag on Amazon or Walmart, but you never hear the left talk about the benefits to society from having low-cost and convenient goods from these companies. Same with the USA. It's the shittiest country in the world...but compared to which other powerful countries exactly? For all the good progressives want to do why does so much of their rhetoric seem to divisive?

"Over 50 Canadians Held in ICE Custody Amid Legal Uncertainty Over 55 Canadians face detention in U.S. ICE centers as immigration enforcement intensifies in 2025. Johnny Noviello’s death highlights concerns over conditions. Canadian government and advocates call for transparency and fair treatment amid new executive orders expanding detentions and arrest targets. Last updated: July 7, 2025 9:30 am Key Takeaways • Over 55 Canadians detained by ICE in U.S. due to immigration violations and minor criminal offenses in 2025. • Johnny Noviello, a Canadian, died in ICE custody on June 23, prompting scrutiny of detention conditions. • Canada’s government offers consular help while advocacy groups push for humane ICE detention reforms. As of July 7, 2025, the detention of over 50 Canadians by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has sparked growing concern, legal confusion, and public outcry. The recent death of Canadian citizen Johnny Noviello in ICE custody has brought even more attention to the issue, raising questions about the treatment of foreign nationals and the impact of toughened immigration policies under President Trump’s administration. This article explains what’s happening, why it matters, and what Canadians and their families need to know." Who is affected? Currently, about 55 Canadians are being held in ICE detention centers across the United States . These individuals include people with different backgrounds—some are long-term residents, others were visiting or working in the country, and a few have lived in the United States for decades. Why are they being detained? Canadians can end up in ICE custody for several reasons: – Immigration violations: Overstaying a visa, working without proper authorization, or entering the country without the right documents. – Criminal convictions: Even minor offenses can trigger detention, especially under stricter enforcement. – Pending deportation: Some are held while waiting for a decision on their removal from the United States . Where are they being held? Detained Canadians are spread across various ICE facilities, including a new, controversial detention center in Florida known as “Alligator Alcatraz.” This facility has become a symbol of the administration’s tougher stance on immigration enforcement. When did this start? While Canadians have occasionally been detained by ICE in the past, the numbers have risen sharply in 2025. This increase follows new executive orders and policy changes signed by President Trump, which have ramped up enforcement and detention efforts. How did this happen? The U.S. government has set much higher targets for ICE arrests. According to White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, ICE now aims for 3,000 arrests per day, compared to about 650 per day earlier in President Trump’s second term. This aggressive approach has led to more detentions, including of Canadians who may not have serious criminal backgrounds. The Tragic Case of Johnny Noviello The death of Johnny Noviello, a Canadian citizen, in ICE custody on June 23, 2025, has become a rallying point for critics of the current system. Noviello’s family and supporters say his case highlights the dangers and lack of proper care in detention centers. Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand expressed condolences to Noviello’s family and promised that Canadian officials are seeking more information about his death. This tragedy has raised urgent questions about: – Medical care in ICE facilities – Transparency – Communication between U.S. and Canadian authorities about what happens to detainees unquote Over 50 Canadians Held in ICE Custody Amid Legal Uncertainty Why is the Canadian government not doing something about this? Why even negotiate a trade deal while this is going on?
