A masked man with a gun snatched him up, used him as bait against his own family, then sent him to a notoriously inhumane prison on the other side of the country.
“They cared for him,” is some Theresienstadt-level propaganda.

ICE spokesperson Marcos Charles: "My officers stayed with the child. They cared for him. Took him to get something to eat from a drive-thru restaurant and spent hours ensuring he was taken care of. Again, my officers did that, not his father ... his family refused to open the door and take him back"

Alberta's health care system, like its government, is a mess. Awful
Alberta Health Services docs obtained via freedom of information request show that up to 85 percent of provincial EMS dispatches for drug toxicity were not reported by the Alberta government, @drugdatadecoded.ca reports:
drugdatadecoded.ca/up-to-89-per...
drugdatadecoded.ca/up-to-89-per...
Up to 89 percent of ambulances for overdoses concealed in record year, as Alberta health care careens into crisis
The Alberta government says it has “the most transparent data reporting system in North America" for drug toxicity. In reality, internal data manipulation causes most emergency calls to go unreported.

Not a big mystery guy but I enjoyed Wake Up Dead Man (🔪s Out), esp. the 1st hour. Very humorous. 2nd hour got a little too complex for me - but hey, it's a murder mystery.
Loved the stuff about grace and daily bread despite the daily pain. The whole cast was great but O'Connor made this film

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.
