While he was detained at Dilley for over four months, 13-year-old Gustavo Santiago said he felt as if he would “never get out.”

“I just ask that you don’t forget about us,” he told ProPublica in a video call.

Toronto shopping street

Half of business owners on this Toronto street estimated that more than 25% of their customers arrived by car.

In fact, it was 4%.

And the % of customers who who walked or cycled? 72%.

Retailers routinely overestimate the # of “car customers.” Via @carltonreid.com www.forbes.com/sites/carlto...

Exclusive | OpenAI Employees Raised Alarms About Canada Shooting Suspect Months Ago The ChatGPT maker opted against informing Canadian authorities about Jesse Van Rootselaar’s descriptions of violence last June.

The Tumbler Ridge shooter had used OpenAI to discuss scenarios involving gun violence.

It was bad enough to get flagged and reviewed by employees, who warned the company & suggested alerting law enforcement.

The company said No.

This tragedy could have been prevented.

Gut wrenching.

When the very tightly-scripted Ford goes off-script, there's almost always blowback. Bc there's a reason he's so scripted.

"A 3rd-generation Indigenous basket maker is setting the record straight about his craft — it's a part of his culture, it's valuable, & artists can make a living off of it"

• never went to university, college or trade school
• never received any sort of job training
• relied on nepotism to get every job he's ever had
• hasn't the first foggiest clue about how graduates these days turn their degrees into jobs
• presumes to lecture graduates on getting jobs

Ontario spent record $112M on taxpayer-funded advertising, auditor finds | CBC News Ontario spent a record $112 million on tax-payer-funded advertising last year, with the province’s auditor saying nearly 40 per cent of the campaigns could have left a “favourable impression” of Premi...

Doug Ford says there's not enough money to keep funding Ontario healthcare.

He should make a TV ad about that.

What are Canadian politicians doing on Russian state propaganda media?

In an exclusive interview with in the #POLITICOPub at #MSC2026, U.S. Senator Lindsay Graham said: Who's gives a shit about who owns Greenland?"

Senator Thom Tillis delivered a swift response 👇

More than 700 nursing, PSW jobs could be cut in Ottawa, says union | CBC News Ontario’s largest health-care union is sounding the alarm on impending job cuts and increased wait times if the province fails to increase hospital funding.

Estimates show 9,000+ nursing & PSW positions cut by 2027-28. The loss of 2,400 hospital beds is projected too.

The Ford govt uses taxpayer money to pay for spa parking on waterfront land being stolen from us while underfunding our hospitals. A 2% increase in spending per year = HC cuts.

12-year-old Ender wrote that when she felt sick at Dilley, the doctor would only say to drink more water.

“The worst thing is that it seems like the water is what makes people sick here,” she wrote in her letter.

Appreciate the talk about banning ICE masks in shutdown negotiations.

But the non-negotiable should be congressional oversight of ICE detention facilities. Full access, no appointments, no permission slips.

No compromise.

Iris Gorfinkel: Measles outbreak more proof we didn’t need for a province-wide vaccine registry A modern vaccine registry would show which children are overdue for shot and which communities are most at risk. In just a few clicks, clinicians anywhere in Ontario could see

I can’t believe we still rely on yellow cards

…after thousands of deaths from Covid & the biggest measles outbreak in decades

Have we le’arned nothing?
This makes NO sense.

And again

We all matter or none of us do

1. Underfund public boards.
2. Increase class sizes.
3. Remove resources.
4. Blame teachers.

John Snobelen would be so proud of Doug Ford and the Cons.

Prisons are for people who've been CONVICTED of crimes.

Most people in these warehouses - without proper food or sanitation or worse - haven't even been CHARGED with crimes.

And thousands are CHILDREN.

This will be another of America's greatest shames.

i think this more than anything is what miller wants. vast detention camps with all of the suffering and death that means.

If wealthy people took the bus, we'd already have a city filled with bus lanes. They'd say they deserve to get places faster.

Around the world, politicians and businessmen are resigning from their positions because of the Epstein Files.

Except in the United States.

Here: Zero shame, zero consequences.

We need resignations, investigations, impeachments, and punishments now. Should have been years ago.

I read somewhere 'The US isn't like the US because of Trump, Trump is like Trump because of the way the US is' and I really do think this explains why Trump's getting away with what he's getting away with.

So lovely to see!

Internal White House meetings going on, like, "Hopefully the racism will distract from the pedophilia which will distract from the killings which will distract from the pedophilia again which will distract from the economy which will distract from the pedophilia a third time"

Bruce Fanjoy has launched a petition to require all federal party leaders to obtain and maintain top security clearance.

It's open for a couple of months.

Yes, it should.

“[Jamil Jivani’s trip] is, at best, a staggering act of political vanity. At worst, it is a profound moral abdication. And it is being undertaken with authority he simply does not possess.”

If only someone had warned the residents of Bowmanville—Oshawa North that voting for Jivani was a bad idea.

Mélanie Joly 🇨🇦 on Magat Jivani's trip to Washington: "He represents people working at GM in his riding. I haven't heard once, not only denouncing what GM was doing, but also promoting the interests of the workers at GM ... he should be talking much more about it. It's a problem." #cdnpoli

Jamil: Hello, Mr. President

Trump: Who are you again?

Jamil: I'm a Conservative backbencher. I represent Bowmanville.

Trump: What? You're who?

Jamil: I think young men have it really hard these days. I think DEI is racism.

Trump: Oh. You're one of Charlie Kirk's people! Welcome!
