IMO PM Carney's opening speech is a must watch.
For ALL countries, not just Canada.
He lays out what is happening and the solutions.
"this is not sovereignty, it's the performance of sovereignty while accepting subordination".
"Canada has taken the sign out of the window"

In a few minutes, in a brief speech, Carney has made himself a leader of the next world order:
PM Mark Carney:

It seems that every day we're reminded that we live in an era of great power rivalry, that the rules-based order is fading, that the strong can do what they can and the weak must suffer what they must⤵️

MN Doctor: I learned that Renee Good still had a pulse 8 minutes after she was shot by an ICE agent. Yet the offer to administer aid from a physician on the scene was denied. I can't say how much that stirs the blood of everyone here as we try to fulfill our oath to care for the people of Minnesota

"...now that it's clear 'integration' can lead to 'subordination'" -

In other words, appeasement is collaboration, with fascism.

Thank you, @mark-carney.bsky.social 🙏

We need more police to speak up like this. It’s not perfect, but it helps.
Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"
