The article takes a while to get to this observation: "Several audience members identified themselves as being part of the Dominion Society, a Canadian anti-immigration group that seeks to deport between four and eight million people living in Canada through what it calls 'remigration.'"
The Conservatives have launched their Charlie Kirk imitation tour.
In a fluff piece, CBC casually mentions that it it supported by youth from a group demanding the forcible deportation of millions from Canada.
CBC presents it as "counter culture."
No.
That's hate.

This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed.

Yeah, I spoke to the young guy at the front counter at ChitChats, and he said they are turning back entire trucks at the border if there is even one package that doesn't comply.
Thank God I don't sell in the US.
Thank God I don't sell in the US.
US is using loopholes on imports to stop Canadian small businesses: if a USPS label is printed outside US soil, it won't be allowed in. A new hurdle for Canadians shipping into the States.
It's absolutely wild.
If you import to the states and the tracking starts with 94.
You're out of luck.

This is a pretty textbook example of fascism. In case you didn’t already know that. 🫠🫠🫠
A rightwing student at Texas A&M secretly filmed her interaction with a professor that challenged scientifically-validated concepts on trans people. The professor has been fired. The head of the department and dean have been removed. The video is pretty intentional.
