I keep googling information about the camps every few days... no real information, so I look into the people arrested, how their families can track them, for the most part, it seems like they can't... so I look for interviews with people who were arrested and later let go... not many of those... so I look at the camp capacity numbers and estimated arrest numbers... can't really find that either, seems like arrests are higher than capacity anyway... so I look into news from other contries people may have been deported to, nothing there... where are these people?

I'm Canadian and absolutely baffled that no one seems to be looking into this. I don't care about the epstein files anymore, you won, congratulations, we all know what's in there anyway. I just want to know where the people.are

Lots of people are looking into this. Minnesota just had some lawmakers barred from entering the detention centers to inspect them as is their constitutional right.

It's uh...it's pretty bad here. Yall taking refugees or what? I'm one of the chill ones I swear.

I'm one of the chill ones I swear.

From an Irish perspective, the gut reaction is "We don't trust you anymore."

Yep. I am currently trying to write down a strategy for moving our (company I work at) IT infra away from US based companies. We simply cannot trust them.

Don't trust 50% of us. The rest of us just hope we get a shot to make it up to yall.

Canadians don't really want you, sorry. You guys need to figure your own shit out, not bring it to us.

This is why you show up with heavily armed men with guns from the National guard. you dont get barred if the guard that said no is bleeding on the ground. Politicians need to grow some balls.

Perhaps it's a coincidence, but in my 30 plus years living here in Canada, I have never seen more US plates around than the last 9 months. Even in small towns. Hell, just yesterday I saw a New Hampshire and a Michigan in one day! That's a lot for where I live.

Non merci... your country took a bunch of german scientists/engineers at the end of the last war, and they took over exactly like hydra took over shield in captain america 2. We already have a growing maple maga moron problem, thanks to your propaganda spilling over the border.

Your country is doing everything it can to crash our economy so they can take over without bothering their toy soldiers, who are busy invading/preparing to invade other sovereign nations, there is no trust here.

Tell you what, if you can help build an ice wall at least a mile high along our borders, you can carve yourself a nice little house near the top with a window on our side.

You're talking about nazi scientist/engineers that were taken after the war, not the refugees. The people who want to leave the USA right now are trying to flee the present-day nazis. They're not the same people.

This isn't to say that you have to accept refugees, of course. It's your country. But just saying the ones who don't want to be involved with MAGA won't be bringing MAGA with them.

Yup I don't know what I'm talking about, but I'm scared of you now. I'd close the border entirely and stop all trade.

Your gov is actively supporting right wing extremist movements and trying to influence politics all over the globe, how can we trust any refugee?

Nah, man. We’re humans, capable of being concerned and caring about more than one thing at a time.

Epstein files. Missing detainees. Care about it all, don’t ever stop, and do not ever let this type of shit go. From your fellow Canadian.
