Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

This is unAmerican but in some ways as American as apple pie.

May this wake up more people to our ugly history so we break free of our racist past.

The sale of Canadian-made armoured vehicles to ICE is unacceptable. I’ve urged the government to shut down these export loopholes — and I welcome Lloyd Axworthy’s call echoing this demand.

Canada’s foreign policy must reflect our human rights commitments.
