Trump declared Canadian copper a "national security threat." He says the US wants nothing from us including our aluminum.
Fine. We will sell on the world market.
It's time for Canada to break free from this abusive relationship and chart our own future.

The U.S. economy depends on Canadian copper imports, yet Donald Trump has declared it a “national security threat.”

Donbas Danielle tries to use the Trump playbook. He launched continual attacks on the independence of the courts until they finally broke to his will.
She is trying the same thing in Canada.

Making use of our great local transit system to get to and from meetings today. Public transit acts as a significant economic catalyst, often providing a higher return on investment than other infrastructure types. 🚈

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

I've reached out to all Canadian companies listed here to ask if they intend to continue working with ICE:

Hootsuite
Roshel
Garda
Jim Pattison Developments

I've also reached out to @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social's team for comment on export permits for Canadian sale of armoured vehicles to ICE.

Drop the names of any Canadian companies you’ve seen working with ICE in the comments.

I’m aware of Gardaworld, Roshel, Hootsuite.

Would love to gather any and all other names.

I visited Gaza in 2009, just months after the Cast Lead massacre. What I saw then shocked and changed me — and there are no words for what has been destroyed now.

We need to end this genocide and dismantle Israel’s apartheid system.

As masked agents increase their violence south of the border - including killing ICU nurse Alex Pretti yesterday - it's easy to feel powerless.

But here’s something we all can do.

ICE agents are patrolling in vehicles made in Canada.

If you're sick of the horrifying videos, contact your MP. 1/2

If you're Canadian, and want to do something to stand up to Trump’s personal terrorist group, ICE, then calling this out and making it clear it's unacceptable to our leaders (& to the company) is one thing to consider.

We never should have entertained to this begin with. Let alone after yesterday.

Dear CBC change the goddamn update on your app or state 'it appears federal officials are lying' or at least add that 'statements by U.S. federal officials cannot be trusted.' You still fail to add this context regularly.

And it should read "Man killed by federal agents..." #CDNmedia #CBC
"Federal officials said agents fired in self-defence after "an armed struggle" because the man had a 9-mm handgun." - CBC News.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.
1. I am a resident of the Whittier neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota. I am over 18 years of age. I am a children's entertainer who specializes in face painting. 2. On Saturday, January 24, 2026, at about 8:50 am, I was getting ready to go to work when I heard whistles outside. I knew the whistles meant that ICE agents were in the area, so I decided to check it out on my way to work. I've been involved in observing in my community because it is so important to document what ICE is doing to my neighbors. Connecting to your local community and knowing who your neighbors are is something I profoundly value. 3. I drove to Nicollet Ave. and 26th where I could hear the whistles coming from. I turned south onto Nicollet. There were already several ICE agents there and they'd set up a sort of vehicle convoy on Nicollet and 28th. There were also about 15 observers there, recording and observing ICE. 4. I saw ICE agents surrounding cars and punching car windows. I also saw them stopping vehicles further down Nicollet, so I backed up because I didn't feel safe continuing on. 5. I noticed a man sort of acting to help traffic move more smoothly. He helped me find a place to park. I got out with my whistle and my camera. I went over to him and said something like, "I'm going to film and use my whistle." 6. It seemed like most ICE activity was happening a little farther down the street from us, near 27th. Someone was being thrown to the ground. 7. I started recording. There was an agent by a car across the street. Two observers were a few feet away from the agent, blowing their whistles. One was wearing a backpack. 8. I and the man who was observing and helping direct traffic were standing in the street. There was a phone in the man's hand recording a video. 9. An agent approached and asked us to back up, so I moved slowly back onto the sidewalk. 10. The man stayed in the street, filming as the other observers I mentioned earlier were being forced backward by another ICE agent threatening them with pepper spray. The man went closer to support them as they got threatened, just with his camera out. I didn't see him reach for or hold a gun. 11. Then the ICE agent shoved one of the other observers to the ground. Then he started pepper spraying all three of them directly in the face and all over. The man with the phone put his hands above his head and the agent sprayed him again and pushed him. 12. Then the man tried to help up the woman the ICE agent had shoved to the ground. The ICE agents just kept spraying. More agents came over and grabbed the man who was still trying to help the woman get up. All three of the observers looked to have been badly affected by the pepper spray. I could feel the pepper spray in my eyes. 13. The agents pulled the man on the ground. I didn't see him touch any of them-he wasn't even turned toward them. It didn't look like he was trying to resist, just trying to help the woman up. I didn't see him with a gun. They threw him to the ground. Four or five agents had him on the ground and they just started shooting him. They shot him so many times. 14.1 don't know why they shot him. He was only helping. I was five feet from him and they just shot him. 15. The video I recorded of what happened accurately depicts the events leading up to the agents shooting him and several minutes afterwards. The video is attached as Exhibit 1. 16. I have read the statement from DHS about what happened and it is wrong. The man did not approach the agents with a gun. He approached them with a camera. He was just trying to help a woman get up and they took him to the ground. 17. I feel afraid. Only hours have passed since they shot a man right in front me and I don't feel like I can go home because I heard agents were looking for me. I don't know what the agents will do when they find me. I do know that they're not telling the truth about what happened. I've heard that other witnesses might have been arrested and taken to the Whipple Building. 18. I am disgusted and gutted at how they are treating my neighbors and my state. I keep alternating between crying and feeling determined it is important to remember the value of documenting injustice. We show up for the people who need us to bear witness, because it can't just be one group of people bearing the brunt of their tyranny. This is a struggle to protect our freedom and democracy, those things are on the line. He lost his life for those values. I declare under penalty of perjury that everything I have stated in this document is true and correct. Dated and signed on Jan 24, 2026 in Hennepin County, State of Minnesota.

Canadians knew the idiot king would come swinging hard at Canada. US industry is dependent on Canadian aluminum. The 100% tariff is a disaster for them. Our warehouses are emptying out to meet European demand.

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin.

Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Alexi Pretti was a loved and respected nurse helping critically ill veterans.
He was beaten and murdered on the streets of Minneapolis by paramilitaries in the employ of Donald Trump.

The Trump backlash is coming. It is time to talk about the price we will pay to restore our independence.
The 1988 free trade deal cost Canada 334,000 jobs and 17% of manufacturing.
What price are we willing to pay the price to restore an independent economy?

Body cameras do not fix this. Better training does not do this. Shutting down the agency and engaging in large-scale Nuremberg Trials are the way to handle denazification.
