As a Canadian I guess now I know I have some camaraderie with Bahamians. XD

He *was* a royal. Them giving him the boot was a crazy move and one had to wonder if this is why. The government could have told Charles about this and asked him to do just that, so when they did arrest him he wouldn’t *technically* be a Prince. Nice to see someone being held accountable though.

We’ve been saying it from day one Russia’s goal here is maximalist and to take-over all of Ukraine, and exterminate Ukrainian culture and people. And Russia just keeps proving it, and saying as much quite clearly. So uh…yeah. Dunno what to do with this to be honest. Truth doesn’t matter I guess.

Let’s rename that bridge to “Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Bridge.” Nothing against Gordie Howe, just that with how they’re acting it’d be worth it to annoy the USians.

I highly doubt you’d be treated poorly, if that’s a concern. We don’t mind US tourists, even with what’s going-on.

Well thank feck for that. I swear sometimes I wish we (Canada) could just deal with California directly instead of it being part of the US. That goes for a few states, come to think of it.

That they put Poilievre back as their leader really just screams to me that they’re a deeply unserious group of people at this point. Ya lost. Again. Again again. And again. Maybe the loudmouth hoser at the front isn’t working? Maybe.

Maybe when the country isn’t busy sliding into fascism ya’ll could fix your electoral districts in the first place. My life has been utter pain watching the rampant gerrymandering down there.

She’s right. Don’t let them scurry back into the woodwork. Drag them all into a court and drop the entire library of laws on their heads. Everything and anything you can hit them with.

Okay but he does have a point. “Gestapo” is the wrong word. ICE is more like the Nazi SA (“Brownshirts”). So, yannow, he’s got a point just not the one he thinks he’s making.

In case you’ve ever wondered how you can engineer a sudden drop in your popularity among people who live in countries that belong to NATO, the answer is now in: Either invade Ukraine or elect Donald Trump as your president. Full newsletter: www.nonzero.org/p/which-ai-t...

Leeja Miller recently in a video did mention that it’s a big ask for USians. Healthcare is tied to their employment, most are two paycheques away from homelessness, homelessness is basically criminalized, and they can be fired for any or no reason at all. Needs must though.

Yeah, training in Vancouver for the police is first you need a university degree (they don’t technically need a whole degree, just an amount of credits, but realistically you’re not competitive if you don’t), plus the six months, plus as you said the training on the job.

It reminds me of the resistance in Britain that prevented the rise of fascism there pre-WWII. Knocking a fascist or three in the head with a rock can be effective.

The vast majority of the left here in Canada who dislike the Libs held their noses and voted for them anyway because we knew the stakes. And we dodged the bullet because of it. It’s not f’king hard.

“Without proper training” hits different when you know the level of their “proper training” wouldn’t meet even half of what a decent municipality here in Canada demands of applicants.

Gunboat Diplomat 🇨🇦 @gdiplomat.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

That’s why they’ve sent enough of them to outnumber local LE. The police there probably want to defend their neighbourhoods and just, can’t. Logistically and tactically can’t.

Yeah my bad I had that thought as soon as I posted it. But then again fuck those guys they deserve insults lol And come to think of it they really are more like Berkut, and probably will be more so. Ten bucks says they hire a bunch of literal violent criminals.

I think conservatives need to suffer intense social ostracism in the days, months and years to come, give them the persecution they constantly fantasize and masturbate about.

My worry is that Congress passed the budget to give ICE a massive amount of money. I expect a hiring spree even more than the current one. Zero standards, US version of OMON.

Violence at the hands of the state is nothing new and has been the reality for many non-white Americans since the very beginning. This needs to be top of mind when confronting what happens next and where we go from here.

If the state can label a law-abiding citizen doing nothing but exercising their rights as a domestic terrorist – in spite of overwhelming evidence to the contrary – then no one (regardless of political persuasion) is safe.

I feel like thats part of why there are so many of them. A lot of local PD probably WANT to defend their neighbourhoods and just, can’t. They’re literally outnumbered, and ICE are still technically feds too.

When strapping yourself on top of a barely-controlled explosion is the best, safest way of getting somewhere. It’s mad, but, viable and proven alternatives are lacking.

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

NYT push alert: "A person was shot dead today during a struggle with federal agents in Minneapolis, according to officials."
