Activists are urging BC billionaire Jim Pattison — Canada's fifth-richest person — not to sell a warehouse his company owns in Virginia to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for use as a detention centre. 

Last Thursday, officials from Hanover County, VA said they had received a letter from the Department of Homeland Security, which is responsible for ICE, about purchasing the 17.6 hectare property, the Lewiston 95 Logistics Centre, "in support of ICE operations."

Trump’s immigration enforcement agency wants to buy a warehouse for a ‘processing centre’ in Virginia.

The leader of the BC Green Party is calling for a boycott of Save-On-Foods and other businesses owned by B.C. billionaire Jimmy Pattison.

As the nation mourned the killing of VA ICU nurse Alex Pretti yesterday at the hands of federal officials in Minneapolis, President Donald J. Trump spent last night at the White House at a black-tie private screening of a documentary about First Lady Melania Trump. Amazon paid $40 million for the rights to the film just weeks after executive chair Jeff Bezos dined with Trump at Mar-a-Lago following the former president’s reelection and is spending another $35 million to promote the film.

Enough.

I believe the shots that killed Alex Pretti and Renee Good are the shots heard ‘round the world that will topple the Trump regime.

From Minneapolis to Davos, people are joining together against Trump’s tyranny.

In Minnesota, they are joining across ethnicity, race, and class against Trump’s gestapo tactics, repression, and murders. Solidarity is spreading to other cities.

In Europe, they are joining across national boundaries against Trump’s threats to their sovereignty, the European Community, and NATO.

So, Carney gets lots of pats on the back for disagreeing with Trump. But on many issues--including fair treatment of immigrants--he's not entirely different. - Gene McGuckin

It’s been a month since Prime Minister Mark Carney cancelled the caregiver permanent residency program, at least for 2026. He did it on December 19th – the Friday before Christmas, one day after International Migrants Day.

In the coming days, detractors loyal to the regime and the more quibbling moderates who deplore what the regime is doing but equally deplore doing anything to stop it, will try to tell us that the general strike today accomplished nothing- that business is already returning to normal and a one day general strike in one metro won't change anything in the long run.
