Donald Trump is a convicted felon. Could he be stopped from entering Canada for the G7 summit?
Trump would likely not be allowed to enter Canada if he were not the U.S. president, immigration lawyers tell the Star.

Remember when Republicans were losing their minds about leaving Afghans who worked with US troops to be killed by the Taliban?
Well, Trump has revoked their asylum and is planning to send them back to be murdered.

Selling off national parks to private corporations is theft — of land, ecosystems, and public trust.

just your regular reminder that the Republicans in Congress could stop this at any time
