Enter legally and claim asylum? Not a crime. You don't seem to make any distinction between entering legally or illegally. As though entering the US illegally isn't even a real thing.

I guess in this case, our legal system didn't see any need to impose any travel restrictions on a man accused of sexual assault and sexual interference. The fact that Singh left and then actually came back suggests he was pretty confident that he would face no serious repercussions. And that still may turn out to be true.

Is it a crime to enter the US illegally? GPT-4o mini Yes, entering the United States illegally is considered a crime. It falls under federal law, specifically 8 U.S.C. § 1325, which defines the unlawful entry into the U.S. as a misdemeanor for first-time offenders. Subsequent offenses can be classified as felonies. These laws make it clear that individuals who attempt to enter or who enter the U.S. without proper authorization are violating immigration laws. Penalties can include fines, imprisonment, and eventual deportation There are two ways to enter the US, either through legal means, or illegal means. I doubt anyone has a problem with someone entering the right way(legally) and applying for asylum. There you have it folks, in robosmith's 'reality', parking a car perpendicular in a street is not in any way a form of impeding if other cars are still able to get by.🤨

If Poilievre had won, I think he would have reached a deal with the US in short order. So far, the 'Trump whisperer' has failed miserably. Do you think that with this supposed new great deal with China, the CCP will no longer take Canadians as hostages as they see fit? How much this deal will benefit Canada, if at all, remains to be seen. I believe the CCP is very pleased with even more access to Carney.

Weren't those tactics discussed in 'The Art of the Deal'? Key Tactics Discussed in the Book Win-Win Scenarios: Trump advocates for negotiations that create value for all parties. This approach often involves understanding the other side's needs and crafting deals that address them. Starting High: He suggests beginning negotiations with high demands or offers to create room for concessions. This tactic aims to anchor the negotiation in one's favor. Flexibility: Trump emphasizes the importance of being adaptable. The ability to pivot and find alternatives is crucial for successful negotiations. Building Relationships: Establishing a rapport with the other party is vital. Trump believes that personal connections can facilitate smoother negotiations. Use of Leverage: Understanding and applying leverage can significantly impact the negotiating process. Trump focuses on maximizing one's strengths while identifying the weaknesses of the other party. Application to International Negotiations During his time in office, many of these principles were evident in Trump's dealings with other countries. For example: Trade Agreements: His approach to renegotiating NAFTA into the USMCA reflected the tactic of starting high and insisting on terms favorable to the U.S. Diplomacy with North Korea: The emphasis on establishing personal rapport was evident in his meetings with Kim Jong-un, which were aimed at creating a more amicable negotiation environment. Pressure Tactics: Trump often used economic sanctions and threats to impose his leverage, aligning with the tactic of maximizing advantages in negotiations. Overall, Trump's negotiating tactics as described in "The Art of the Deal" have been consistent with his approaches in international negotiations, marked by high-stakes strategies, relationship-building, and leveraging power dynamics to secure favorable outcomes. The pending Greenland deal appears to be beneficial to both sides. He didn't use military force, just somewhat bold rhetoric. It seems to have worked.

Can you provide a link to the site that lists all the US citizens with no criminal records that are being persecuted? (and entering the US illegally is a crime in itself) Enforcing existing laws in this manner is in no way, shape or form, persecution. The fact that you don't consider activists following, harassing, screaming, putting cars perpendicular in the middle of roads to meet the threshold of 'impeding' says a lot about your grasp on reality.

The worst of the worst arrested this week(in Minneapolis) include: Abdi Gelle Mohamed, a criminal illegal alien from Somalia, convicted for sexual abuse of a minor. Sahal Osman Shidane, a criminal illegal alien from Somalia, convicted of criminal sexual conduct fourth degree of a victim 13 to 15 years old. Andriu Javier Padron-Chacare, a previously deported criminal illegal alien from Venezuela and Tren de Aragua gang member, convicted of theft. Job Catani Cardenas, a criminal illegal alien from Ecuador, convicted for domestic assault. Humberto Disla Sarita, a criminal illegal alien from the Dominican Republic, convicted for conspiracy to import at least 50 kg of cocaine. Ernesto Vides-Cabrera, a criminal illegal alien from Guatemala, convicted for driving under the influence and assault. Mukhtar Mohamed Ali, a criminal illegal alien from Somalia, convicted for robbery and domestic assault. That is just for this week, and the week isn't over yet. It's a irrefutable fact that protesters are still trying to prevent ICE from catching these criminals. Are these guys included in the 'millions of ordinary human beings' you speak of?

And how does the CBC, CTV, or Global compare to Juno News as far as left-right bias is concerned?

How do the protesters know exactly who ICE is looking for on any given operation and whether they've committed serious crimes or not?

There are now reports that a deal with Greenland is close. If a deal is completed soon that satisfies both the people of Greenland and the US, will any of you guys give Trump credit for it?

The government may or may not know what guns Canadians have, depending on the before and after on certain dates that some legislation came into effect. Regardless, it's a huge waste of time and money.

Why not take a few minutes to scroll through the people on the DHS link I posted above? I'm wondering what you actually think of those people that were caught by ICE. What would you like to see happen with them, jail and deportation, or immediate release back into the community? What is ICE doing that is illegal? Take a listen to what Obama and Biden said on the subject.

Not sure what all the fuss is about regarding this speech. Carney takes some thinly veiled jabs at Trump and the US and of course most people love that. Brian Lilley of The Sun makes a great point about that aspect of Carney's speech. "Much of his speech was about the great power rivalry that is happening between the US, China and Russia. The problem is that he was highly critical in the Americans walking away from the international rules-based order while not acknowledging that China and Russia walked away from it years if not decades ago." And now, Mark Carney is cozying up up to China, which of course gets a pass when it comes to it's dismal human rights record.

Activists have been trying to impede ICE from the start. DHS has a website listing all the criminals they've caught so far and these guys have been charged convicted of very serious crimes. The site seems to be updated daily. By their actions, they are in fact, protecting some very dangerous criminals. https://www.dhs.gov/wow

Any driver that puts his or her car perpendicular, in the middle of the road, is clearly intending to impede others. In this case, Good was doing her best to impede ICE from doing their job. Making a statement that 'there was plenty of room to pass her vehicle' is grossly understating the threat she was posing to law enforcement conducting operations.

Here's an ICE agent literally telling protesters that they are being impeded from arresting a child sex offender. Leftists...trying...to...protect...a child sex offender.

Gatomontes99 did post that video on this page. It CLEARLY shows the car hitting the officer. You just refuse to acknowledge it because it destroys your narrative.

It's literally in the link I posted(CBC). "In his 2015 election platform, former prime minister Justin Trudeau promised to reduce the government's use of external consultants. Between 2015-16 and 2024-25, however, government spending on external services increased from around $8.3 billion to around $19.5 billion." Going from $8.3 billion in 2015 to around $19.5 billion in 2024-25 is a pretty substantial increase.

But spending on consultants has gone up dramatically since 2015 has it not? If they were hired for a certain time and then 'they are gone', it seems like more will always be hired in very short order. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/government-spending-outside-contractors-9.6978363 In his 2015 election platform, former prime minister Justin Trudeau promised to reduce the government's use of external consultants.

Canadians are among the most sanctimonious people on the planet, especially leftist Canadians.

Denmark apologized for it so it's fair to assume it's true. I replied to that comment because there are in fact, very few people on Greenland...I just happened to learn about the forced sterilization program this morning. Forced sterilization of women is not right, whether it was Denmark, the US, or Canada's new strategic partner, China(doing it to Uyghurs). https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2025/09/25/denmark-apologizes-forced-contraception-sterilization-greenland/86340823007/ The contraception program is believed to have targeted thousands of Indigenous girls and women in the Arctic territory dating back to the 1960s. For the record, I don't like how Trump is handling this. I understand why he wants it, but he should be more diplomatic in his approach.

I wonder why there are only 60,000 residents on Greenland? https://www.arctictoday.com/denmarks-history-of-forced-birth-control-in-greenland/ 1966–1970 — Campaign launched. Danish health authorities begin the coil campaign. About half of fertile women and girls — some as young as 13 — receive IUDs, often without consent. Roughly 4,500 insertions are recorded in these first five years. Births in Greenland drop about 50% in the early 1970s. 1973 — Parental involvement eased. Rules change so doctors in Greenland no longer must involve parents when advising girls 15–18 on birth control, a shift critics say enabled forced insertions. Search Assist Yes, Denmark conducted a program of forced sterilization and contraception on Greenlandic women and girls, particularly between the 1960s and 1991, often without their consent. This campaign aimed to control population growth and has been described as systematic discrimination and a violation of human rights.

It is stupid for them to want to leave in that Canada(Western provinces) is a cash cow for Quebec.

Be wary of those Chinese EV's!😨 Electric Cars in Israel Reportedly Sending Data Secretly to China The Israeli Ministry of Defense has suspended the supply of Chinese electric vehicles to army officers due to concerns over data collection via built-in sensors and communication systems. The ban followed multiple warnings from cybersecurity experts who emphasized that Chinese vehicles could be used as tools for espionage. https://www.msn.com/en-ie/news/other/electric-cars-in-israel-reportedly-sending-data-secretly-to-china/ar-AA1IhjU3 Canada might be one of the easiest countries for the CCP to be active in. Despite repeated warnings from security agencies about China, our Liberal government just keeps drawing them in closer and closer. Police stations, and even MP's that work in China's best interests.
