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.

While the chaos generator distracts us, let's not forget this.
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.

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!

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.

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.

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
