BREAKING: Pardon me, but fu**king SCOTUS has allowed Trump to resume for now deporting people to countries not their own without offering them a chance to show harms they may face, bolstering a tool Trump Administration has cruelly used for rapid expulsions as part of ⁠his immigration crackdown.

“Now ICE is anywhere and everywhere, embedded in all corners of everyday life”--this article presents much evidence proving that tragic point. “In July, ICE made nearly 50,000 arrests—a record high.” But they are “invisibilizing” their actions, hiding their abuses from the media.

"Others pointed to how federal elections appear to be settled before Albertans finish casting their ballots as evidence of how little influence the province has over policies that are crafted in Ottawa." What a stupid conclusion. Atlantic Canada has its results first yet also has little influence.

I can't wait for this to go down in flames and the bitter tears and recriminations to start flowing in the aftermath. Also, seven prime ministers in ten years is not a problem of the electoral system. It was largely caused by feckless leaders who made bad promises around Brexit they couldn't keep.
