I don't get all this "extend government funding" bad dream that comes back every few months, so take this for what it's worth. It looks like the Democrats aren't pushing to defund ICE but, rather, to hold them to certain "standards" of policing?

The Doug Ford gov’t got 14,233 public comments on its plan to transfer 60% of Wasaga Beach to the town. ~98% opposed citing environmental harms
"We did not consider any changes to the proposal based on the feedback received," the gov't decided
