There are 400 Canadians including toddlers who have been kidnapped by ICE. Amnesty International is now reporting on the use of torture at the detention facilities. This is the march of American fascism.

So did Carney stand up for Canada or did "Dr. Roberts" blow off the Liberal cabinet meeting?
The "Dr." is a vicious enemy of democracy, the rule of law, women's rights.
