Trump threatens to block all 10,000 international students from attending Harvard unless the school turns over student info they’ll use for new visa revocations and deportations.

Every day feels like a fresh round of this country stabbing itself in the face.

Trump Threatens to Block International Students Unless Harvard Shares Student Data
The demand from the Department of Homeland Security is an escalation in President Trump’s fight against Harvard, the country’s oldest and richest university.

One of the things that keeps me going back there is SA Twitter. How can we get them to migrate?

Alt-text: Painting of a group of migrants disembarking a raft in the ocean, in waist deep water close to shore. The sky is paiting with sunset colours and cloud, in the foreground is a very young man with a tyre intertube around his neck and one shoulder, walking towards us. Behind him is another man in an orange life best, and a group of people still in the raft.

The Trump administration's plans to revoke the temporary legal status of 530,000 people in the US is not just cruel.

It also puts thousands of people at risk of deportation to harmful conditions.

Carney seems to be upping his comms game on this too, based on his NL and NS campaign stops.

Not sure @stevenguilbeault.bsky.social is the right man (!) for the Women and Gender Equality job, although he posted on X today that it remains a government priority. Let's keep the pressure on.

I'm hoping for more attention and clarification during the campaign. Getting more men aged 18-34 to vote Liberal might make it worth it.
Not justifying, simply trying to understand their strategy!

Although to be fair, a lot of the feminist stuff in the Trudeau government seemed largely performative.

Canada—including its medical, research, educational, banking, and other institutions dealing in confidential matters—needs to issue directives about what, if any information people can travel to the US with.

🚨NEW: A French scientist had his laptop searched at the US border & was sent back to Europe after private messages were found criticising Trump.

He was accused of messages which “can be described as terrorism”.

This is what a slide into FASCISM looks like.

1/
Extract from story which reads: According to a diplomatic source to AFP, the incident occurred on March 9. The space researcher was reportedly subjected to a random check upon arrival, during which his work computer and personal phone were searched. The same source also reported that messages discussing the Trump administration's treatment of scientists were found. He was reportedly accused of messages "that reflect hatred toward Trump and can be described as terrorism." His professional and personal equipment was reportedly confiscated, and the researcher was sent back to Europe the next day. Reminder of freedom of opinion According to another source briefed on the case to AFP, the French researcher was accused by the American authorities of "hateful and conspiratorial messages." He was reportedly informed of an FBI investigation, for which "charges were dropped," the source continued.

Another case on how quickly anyone can end up, without charge, deep in America's sprawling system of private detention camps.
I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

As a Canadian (and South African), I say absolutely yes. To me it's become like the academic boycott against apartheid South Africa: a moral stance against a cruel and repressive government. American and other geographers are welcome to come to the CAG.

The King refusing Starmer's request would have put the UK in a bit of a bind. As you know, the King does what his government requests. It's less metaphysical, more constitutional.
The invitation itself is what offends.

Except the King of Canada didn't write it. It was the King of the UK, as requested by the Prime Minister of the UK. Canada's Prime Minister can ask the King of Canada to express his support for Canadian sovereignty.

Who will be the first to write the history of that short-lived period that began in 1989 and ended in 2025? So much hope and opportunity, so much short-sighted and incompetent leadership on all sides, and such an ugly, tragic ending.

Trump has based his ENTIRE tariff attack on Canada on the claim that 43 pounds of fentanyl, of the 4,500 that entered the United States last year, came through the northern border. This investigation found that the actual figure is closer to zero

Although to the authors, "world" appears to mean just Europe. There are more potential allies for Canada around the world than European ones. This seems to be a blind spot in Canadian foreign policy as well.
