SCOOP: THE CANADIAN TIE TO TRUMP'S EL SALVADOR MASS DEPORTATIONS

As it turns out, someone with significant ties to Canada — to our biggest museum, our 150th anniversary celebration, and more — is a top dog at the company behind the El Salvador deportation planes.

Pierre Poilievre knows what he said was a dog whistle to his incel base as well as the misogynistic groups of individuals who call themselves "Alpha males." We know how he treats female journalists who ask tough questions or fact-check him.

Absolutely shameful that CTV caved to a disingenuous right-wing pressure campaign instead of standing their ground. It presents even more red flags about the state of the media in Canada.

@rachelgilmore.bsky.social did not deserve to be treated this way.

When people say 'politics is too divisive now,' what they really mean is 'I was more comfortable when certain groups suffered quietly.'

This is why Canadians need to be past the point of "playing nice" about politics. We can't let this nightmare spiral happen here.
Took ICE watch training earlier this year as my neighborhood has a big immigrant population.

The NEXT DAY, they came for a neighbor. I knew what to do because of that training. Document, report. Contact neighbors in our Signal group.

Everyone should train up. Community response works.
It's because of this ICE watch network that we have the video clip, they immediately contacted the hotline, and that got the story out immediately

Please stop using ChatGPT in general, but also, please, please stop using it and then taking what it says to you as fact. It's usually wrong! It doesn't fact check itself. It just creates approximations of information based on other text! It's basically magnetic poetry that sets the world ablaze.

THREE MONTHS

Marcedes Myran and Morgan Harris were found within THREE MONTHS of the search finally starting.

I'm glad they are finally home, and devastated by what their families went through to find them. "When someone goes missing, we go looking." - Premier Wab Kinew

The Google AI results at the top of searches are so pointless. We have a resource (the internet!) that knows everything, and instead of going to the source, it's like you asked your stupid cousin who is trying to recall the information from a podcast he heard last week.
