The Globe loves their "heterodox" columnists, no matter how vile or racist. Urback is a couple of plagiarized columns away from taking up the Peggy Wente mantle.
Disgusting take and policy. I met a refugee in downtown Toronto with trench foot — a WWI disease — that he contracted while living unsheltered in the rain. Refugees are not why the system is failing; they're the people we have failed and are now scapegoating. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...
Opinion: It is the right time – socially and economically – to scale back extended health benefits for refugees
It’s one small step toward rebuilding trust in Canada’s immigration system

OK, so Musk was planning to go to Epstein's island, but it's not like he went there with the intent to go to a wild party or something, it was probably just some business. Excuse me, an email just came in.

Dear journos: as soon as you see the links, archive them using the Wayback Machine! This should be second-nature to you by now.
At least one of the newly released Epstein file is already down.
This link no longer appears to work (www.justice.gov/epstein/file...)
It contained an FBI email chain outlining an allegation against Trump involving sexual activities with a child.
This is a screenshot from that email chain.

Pressure works. Contact your MP and ask Parliament to investigate the extent to which Canadian companies are working with and actively helping ICE. Info below.
Turns out that you can simply chose not to sell your warehouse and prevent it from becoming a detention center
