This is the kind of forceful intrusion into people’s lives that government should PROTECT us from. Rights are unalienable, and are not gifts from government. How does deporting a mom who had legal status for years make us safer? The Trump administration should reverse course.

Entry-level workers see the real damage of inflation and high taxes every single day. You work hard but watch your paycheque shrink before you can even spend it. You deserve to keep what you earn and build your life on your own terms. Let's bring back real opportunity. #cdnpoli #libertarian #canada

Ordering a live animal to be killed in front of you isn’t a flex. It’s making the conscious choice to end a life. The most disturbing part is how casually it's treated.

🚨A reminder that if assisted suicide is legalised, the state would itself be giving lethal drugs to aid people to end their lives. Campaigners are currently trying to persuade an MP to bring back the assisted suicide Bill - these sinister attempts must now come to an end.

I saw chaos inside and outside of the ICE detention center Delaney Hall today. Detainees protesting the lack of due process, the disgusting food and poor treatment while their families and advocates stood outside calling for help. 1/4

Instead of engaging with me and others about the poor conditions, ICE sent in an armored vehicle and a line of armed agents that only poured gasoline on the fire. Civilians were tackled and restrained, and agents fired pepper balls and spray into the crowd. 2/4

What I witnessed and experienced today was shameful. Delaney Hall is a failure; it’s this administration’s failure. The only way to make this right for our communities is to shut it down and make sure the failures we’ve seen never happen again. 4/4

ICE's iris-scanning is about to increase 8x. In September 2025 ICE spent $4.6M, On May 22, 2026 they awarded $25.1M more: no bid, no FedRAMP review, no congressional notice. 1,570 devices shipping by late June. This is biometric surveillance scaling faster than oversight.
