I've spent my day tracking down Canadian companies that have direct or indirect contracts supporting ICE operations.
So far, I've found NINE. I've reached out to all of them.
I plan to publish my video on this tomorrow, detailing the companies, contract amounts and purposes.

Following this exclusive (and excellent) piece from David, I've contacted the federal government to ask if they intend to continue subsidizing JSI Telecom in the future.
I've also contacted JSI Telecom for comment, adding them to the list of Canadian businesses working with ICE who I've contacted.

In December, the Canadian government gave $1 million to Ottawa's JSI Telecom to commercialize AI-driven data analytics.
JSI, a wiretaps and investigation support firm, had a banner year in U.S. government sales in 2025, including a big new contract with ICE.

Yes! It's why fascists hate art because they hate the idea that people can imagine the world being different.
Also why equating cynicism with intelligence is so dangerous. Doomers are framed as "too smart to be duped" but actually just lack imagination because they eat propaganda for breakfast.

One of fascism’s most effective weapons is the idea of inevitability. It tells you that events are already decided, that resistance is pointless, & that there aren't alternatives. Once people accept that story, they stop imagining change, & when imagination disappears, so does the power to oppose.

But it’s still easy to get Grok to generate the very same “undressing” photos causing this scandal in the first place.

WARNER: It used to take 5 to 6 months to get trained. They've now lowered the training period to 47 days. Why 47 days? Because Donald Trump's the 47th president. Tell me that's a rational approach
