Cruelty is the point
ICE agents and guards in detention centres are just like the Gestapo. The unnecessary hardships, the dehumanisation, the brutality and secrecy - these are all deliberate.

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped

A century ago, there was none of this woke food safety. Listeria and Cronobacter contamination was just a fact of life! Sure, way more people died horribly, but
USDA has eliminated two food safety advisory committees for microbiological contamination and meat inspection. Most recently, they had been reviewing regulatory approaches in response to the fatal Listeria outbreak from Boar’s Head meats and fatal Cronobacter contamination in powdered infant formula

“Yet, though both sides were convinced that the tariff would drive Canada into the arms of the U.S., it actually had the opposite effect. Nationalistic Canadians argued that the tariff was “a heavy blow struck alike at our home industries and at the prosperity and independence of the Dominion…”.” 🇨🇦
