I really hope not. Hoping this just raises the value of a few players they need to trade.

Food inspection agency to cut more than 1,300 jobs, says union The union representing employees at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency says staff have been told there will be 1,371 agency jobs cut as part of the government's cost-cutting exercise.

Carney's dangerous austerity plan means fewer food inspectors & less capacity to track food borne illness. As the US is gutting its food safety regulations & Canada imports over half our food from the US, how does cutting food inspection here make us safer? www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

My apologies to everyone who has heard this story before.

Back in the 1970s, two things were true about UWaterloo:

* UW never, ever closed.
* Many faculty members owned farms.

Cue the Great Storm of 1978.

A black-and-white photograph of Ada Mackenzie standing on a golf course. She wears a cloche-style hat, a light cardigan over a blouse, a knee-length skirt, and lace-up shoes. She holds a golf club upright with both hands, with a golf bag resting against her shoulder. The grass fairway stretches behind her with trees in the distance. A handwritten note in the lower right corner reads β€œAda Mackenzie” with a date from the early 1920s.

When Ada Mackenzie saw that women had no place to golf, she built a golf course.
When she saw that women golfers didn't have golf apparel, she opened a store.
She also happened to be one of Canada's best golfers, winning many championships.
This is her story.

As masked agents increase their violence south of the border - including killing ICU nurse Alex Pretti yesterday - it's easy to feel powerless.

But here’s something we all can do.

ICE agents are patrolling in vehicles made in Canada.

If you put on a collar because you wanted a quiet life of Sunday services and being called "Reverend," that's not what you signed up for.

You signed up to follow a man who was executed by the state and told you it might cost you everything.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

 MEMORANDUM FOR: All ICE Personnel

FROM: Todd Lyons Acting Director 
SUBJECT: Utilizing Form I-205, Warrant of Removal 

On January 20, 2025, President Donald J. Trump issued Executive Order 14159, Protecting the American People Against Invasion, directing the Secretary of Homeland Security to "ensur[e] the successful enforcement of final orders of removal." 90 Fed. Reg. 8443, 8444 (Jan. 20, 2025) (E.O. 14159). Essential to the removal of aliens subject to final orders of removal is the ability to locate and arrest them. To this end, certain supervisory immigration officers within both Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) are authorized to issue an administrative warrant, Form I-205, Warrant of Removal (Form 1-205), for the arrest of an alien with a final order of removal. 8 C.F.R. Β§ 241.2(a)(1). All U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) special agents and deportation officers are authorized to execute Forms 1-205. 8 C.F.R. Β§ 287.5(e)(3)(iii) - (y)

Although the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has not historically relied on administrative warrants alone to arrest aliens subject to final orders of removal in their place of residence, the DHS Office of the General Counsel has recently determined that the U.S. Constitution, the Immigration and Nationality Act, and the immigration regulations do not prohibit relying on administrative warrants for this purpose. Accordingly, in light of this legal determination, ICE immigration officers may arrest and detain aliens subject to a final under of removal issued by an immigration judge, the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), or a U.S.

Arrow) district court judge or magistrate judge in their place of residence.23 ICE immigration officers should consider all available enforcement mechanisms, including the use of a Form 1-205 to arrest an alien in their place of residence, to achieve the requirements of E.O. 14159 in accordance with applicable law and policies. This guidance informs the use of Forms 1-205 and provides to ICE law enforcement personnel a reminder of the general limitations and exceptions that may apply when effectuating arrests in an alien's residence. General Guidelines ICE law enforcement officers receive extensive training on the legal and procedural requirements for making administrative and criminal arrests. ICE personnel must remain cognizant of all existing laws and policies pertaining to arrests when carrying out civil immigration enforcement actions. Prior to entering a residence to conduct an administrative immigration arrest pursuant to Form I-205, officers and agents must ensure the Form 1-205 is properly completed and is supported by a final order of removal issued by an immigration judge, the BIA, a U.S. district court, or a magistrate judge. This is essential because that order establishes probable cause. Officers and agents must also have reason to believe that the subject alien resides at and is currently located in the address where the Form I-205 is to be served.

ICE secretly told its officers that any time someone has been ordered removed, ICE can break down their door.

It has been accepted for generations that the only thing which can authorize agents to break into your home is a warrant signed by a judge. No wonder ICE hid this memo!

Since 1947, the Canadian Rangers have provided a military presence in the Canadian North.
Experts in wilderness survival, they cover areas of Canada that are not practical for conventional Army units.
Considered to be "always on duty", this is their legendary story.

Feeling good enough about this team that I can let my 6 year old watch the 1st period before bed. He loves Knies, I'm loving how Laughton has been playing. If they can keep playing this style they will make the playoffs. Biggest disappointment was the entire team (not including Laughton).
