It doesn’t matter to Doug Ford that doctors supprt them, or that police chiefs support them, ot that 3/4 of those surveyed support them. It doesn’t matter that all available evidence supports them. Doug doesn’t like them. And so they go. That’s Doug Ford’s Ontario. www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

Doug Ford will outlaw municipal speed cameras this fall: Sources

Sources say Ford's Progressive Conservatives will table legislation later this fall to outlaw the "automated speed enforcement" devices.

So are folks in Ottawa still worried about “the war on cars”? This summer, it feels more like cars have gone to war on pedestrians and cyclists.

This is where 60-year-old Edouard Lallemand, a lifelong angler who'd been fishing these waters for decades and knows that he was miles north of the border, was fishing when he was intercepted by a much larger US vessel, rammed, taken to the US side, and jailed.

A Quebec fisherman who was fishing 15 kilometers north of the US border was essentially kidnapped by US Border Patrol, who capsized his boat and dragged him to an American prison cell.

In any normal time this'd be quite the international incident, y'know?

www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/art...

Lallemand said he borrowed his friend’s boat and was fishing near Venise-en-Québec, which is roughly 15 kilometres north of the U.S. border at the northern tip of Lake Champlain. He says he has been fishing for decades and is adamant that he was in Canadian waters when the Coast Guard showed up and told him to turn off his engine, to which he complied.

The three officers told him he was in U.S. territory.

“I said, ‘No, I’m very sorry, I’m in Canada.’ And I said I’m polite enough to talk to you guys but you cannot arrest me. ‘You can’t come across the border and pick me up’ but they did,” he recalled.

Lallemand started his engine and said he wanted to talk with the officers by the shore, but the Coast Guard followed and tried to push him into the U.S., which is what caused him to go overboard.

“They’re tying my boat to their boat. They’re not even taking care of me. The third time I went down, coming out with water in my mouth, spitting it out, I said throw me a buoy,” he said.

Once on their vessel, he said he was aggressively put in handcuffs. “I never saw somebody so angry,” he said.

He was then handed over to U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers, who fingerprinted him, put him in a jail cell with his clothes soaking wet, and gave him a “dirty” blanket.

Trump post about Canada

No I don't understand any of it

Good luck to the Great people of Canada. Elect the man who has the strength and wisdom to cut your taxes in half, increase your military power, for free, to the highest level in the World, have your Car, Steel, Aluminum, Lumber, Energy, and all other businesses, QUADRUPLE in size, WITH ZERO TARIFFS OR TAXES, if Canada becomes the cherished 51st. State of the United States of America. No more artificially drawn line from many years ago. Look how beautiful this land mass would be. Free access with NO BORDER. ALL POSITIVES WITH NO NEGATIVES. IT WAS MEANT TO BE! America can no longer subsidize Canada with the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars a year that we have been spending in the past. It makes no sense unless Canada is a State!

Les gens qui partage le post viral d'Anne Archet appelant a ne pas voter.

Votre méthode a été utilisé en 2016 et 2024. Le résultat a été Trump avec les pleins pouvoirs.

Dans une élection, tu vote pour le moins pire des résultats. C'est plate, mais c'est de même.

Anti-Canadian propaganda playbook:
— Ignore or minimize annexation threats.
— Assert that Trump is right to complain about the border.
— Emphasize division between Ottawa and Alberta.
— Argue that retaliatory measures are futile.
