Trump has issues with the word "NO". He has had a lifetime of experience taking whatever he wants, no matter how his behaviour affects others. But Canada is not, and will never be, one of his conquests.

We found a grocery store that’s putting its money where its Canadian values are & we’re impressed. 🍁Take a look. You may want to make it your new place to shop, too!

How many innocent people have been sent to El Salvador, just because of their race or 'suspicious' tattoos? In the US, 70% of people kidnapped by ICE and caged in private prisons, under horrific, inhumane conditions, have no criminal record. It all begins with lies, propaganda and dehumanization.

The term “illegals” is not just inaccurate, it's a deliberate label that strips people of their humanity & makes cruelty easier to justify. Many immigrants wait years for legal status while doing everything right. ICE will even detain them at the courthouse while they're at their required hearings.
