I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

You have the right to ask to see the warrant

📌You have the right to refuse entry without a judicial warrant

📌You have the right to remain silent

Door-to-door enforcement without judicial oversight is not “law and order.”

Icebreakers are key for Greenland’s future, despite warming seas
Rather than making the Arctic easier to navigate, climate change is making ice thicker, more mobile and more dangerous in certain areas.

Fine. But how many alleged unlawful deeds by the Ford govt are the OPL + RCMP "investigating" now? Some for years. Nothing ever seems to come of them.

While Trump claims all non USA troops held back from the front lines, which is an insulting lie, 30 Canadian soldiers were awarded the USA Bronze Star for bravery in combat
