Sign the Petition to Ban ICE from Operating in Canada

Hello, fellow Canadians! Time to step up to the plate

We here in the North see what’s going on down south. We don’t care for it.

Concentration camps, murder and abuse of civilians at the hands of government thugs, the obliteration of basic social security like medical care access and food aid, to say nothing of the blatant discrimination and sexism on display.

Canadians are not fools. At least most of us aren’t. And we have no interest in inviting that same kind of brutality to step onto our lands and turn its ire onto us — especially not with the U.S. government’s repeated threats to make us the ‘51st State.’

They’re back on that bullshit after the Olympics, by the way. More U.S. lawmakers are sneering at us, talking down to us, and insulting our country and our sovereignty than ever before.

Talk about sore winners. It’s disgusting, childish conduct from elected officials who, frankly, have no business having power over anybody.

Much less people from an entirely different, independent country.

That said, there are some Canadians who are showing their colours, including a little bit of blue with the red and white. There are companies here that are funding and supplying the ICE thugs down south, and profiting off of their evil.

Now, that is clearly immoral, unethical, and twisted. I know I’m repulsed by it, and I’m sure I’m not alone.

In fact, I know I’m not. Because there’s a petition making the rounds right now that’s trying to put a stop to it.

Petition e-7146 is currently active, and includes requests to not only cut contracts by Canadian companies working with ICE, but to ban ICE agents from operating in Canada at all — and yes, they currently are. In a very limited capacity, but they’re here nonetheless.

That needs to stop.

So, please, fellow Canadians; click this link to sign the petition, and share the link to this story so we can get the word out. The more signatures, the stronger our demand, and the more the powers that be have to stop and listen.

Fuck Trump, fuck ICE, elbows up!

Solidarity wins.
