Louis St. Laurent was known as "Uncle Louis" to Canadians.
His government brought in RRSPs and an early Medicare. It also began work on the St. Lawrence Seaway and Trans-Canada Highway. One of our greatest and most overlooked Prime Ministers.
This is his story.

Buttigieg on Fox News: "Seeing an American taken to the ground, having his gun removed, being shot in the back 10 times, then having the govt say he was a terrorist all along based on no evidence.. those are kinds of things that as painful as they are, can actually bring together a lot of Americans"

America is outraged after ICE killed two white people in Minneapolis.

I understand why folks are feeling afraid and angry right now. But I need you to understand something just as clearly: this is what Black America has been living with for generations.

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.

"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."

"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

Stephen Miller--who called ICU nurse Alex Pretti a “domestic terrorist” and an “assassin” who “tried to murder federal agents"--now says his execution squad may not have followed "protocol." There's no backtracking, no lying coverup, that will free this sick man from his eventual fate. Nuremberg.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

It’s not an “optics” problem. It’s not a “messaging” problem. The problem is heavily-armed, masked federal thugs on our streets breaking the law, ignoring the Constitution, and targeting, harassing, assaulting, & killing immigrants & citizens.

No way will we the people allow that in this country.

Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift.

It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

We get that Republicans want to argue that “you shouldn’t” protest or film agents, or that it’s “a bad idea.” But it’s a right. That means you don’t get to decide whether someone gets to do it if that’s how they choose to protest. It also means agents can’t kill people who do.

They had him on the ground. Six agents pinned him down. They disarmed him. They removed his gun from its holster. And THEN they shot him. Ten times. To repeat. AFTER they pinned him to the ground, and AFTER they disarmed him, they shot him. Ten times.

They murdered him.
