ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Hamburg’s HADAG ferry lines are not only important for managing everyday urban traffic but also an inexpensive way to experience the port.

This is a VERY big step for Germany — a recognition that the existential and foundational German obligation to Israel is not an obligation to an authoritarian-minded leader who has captured Israel and defied its people and basic humanitarian values

More international media, should be expressing their outrage at this dog whistle to white supremicists. No international leader should ever step foot in that office again.

Thank you Charlie for your service and thoughtful words. And let's hope that rage politics gets addressed before a next election as it is truly dividing our country and people are not necessarily making decisions based on facts.
Here are my initial thoughts on the 2025 election - what it means for Canada in the short term and what it means for the movement of social democracy in the long.

No surprise to these findings. Unfortunately Infrastructure Ontario is still doubling down on their shady dealings with Therme www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/w...
European Spa Company Therme Misrepresented Itself in an Effort to Expand Into Canada
A Times investigation shows Therme, a European firm, exaggerated its track record in securing a deal with Ontario, and government auditors found that the process had been unfair and opaque.

An excellent clip from the 1986 Hollywood film “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” explains why raising tariffs on Chinese goods will hurt the U.S. economy.
In 1930 Republicans raised tariffs. As a consequence the U.S. economy suffered an even worse Great Depression.
Tariffs are taxes paid by consumers.

What Trump doesn’t mention about Canada’s dairy tariffs
U.S. President Donald Trump correctly noted Friday, as he has before, that Canada has tariffs above 200% on dairy products imported from the U.S.. But Trump again failed to mention a critical fact.

Not the first of this talk. Trump's mentioned before a 1908 treaty as if it were invalid.
Trump told Mr. Trudeau that he did not believe that the treaty that demarcates the border between the two countries was valid and that he wants to revise the boundary.
