The Trump administration will deploy the #national #guard to
immigration protests in Los Angeles,
border czar Tom Homan said on Saturday,
as an #immigration crackdown in the area erupted into
mass

As Canada Day approaches, this story of a Mom finding her Canadian identity through helping Syrian refugees settle here after 2015 is poignant.
"In 2025, being a Canadian woman to me means looking out for our neighbours, leaning into differences in culture, religious practices and learning how to help others in need. Because we are not different at all. We are all just looking for safety and peace. It's our Canadian values of equality, respect and freedom in action.
It is the singular privilege of my life to walk alongside these families from Cape Breton and those who are newcomers to Canada. It's changed how I live, and I intend to do this work as long as I am able. I learn from them grace, service, faith and hope. They taught me how to be a Canadian.”

Hint to protesters - wave the American flag. Upside down is fine. Waving foreign flags helps Trump’s claim of invasion.

Trump’s mass deportation is backfiring
President Donald Trump and his administration continue to bet big on the issue that, more than any other, appeared to help him win him a second term in 2024: immigration.

#Swedish #Immigration Minister Denies Knowledge That His Teen Son Is Active Member Of #NeoNazi #NordicResistanceMovement (NMR) …

Swedish minister reveals teenage son linked to extremist groups
Forssell says he will not resign over the issue and that his son has severed all ties with the groups.

Toronto Star: “New numbers reveal 10,000-plus Ontario college layoffs, 600 programs cancelled or suspended over past year”
The bloodbath in our higher education system in Canada has gotten NO press even though provincial governments and likely federal KNOW. This is the first in depth article I have seen. ALL governments micro-manage university and college policy/finances, no matter what they might say to the contrary.
Here are some truths you need to know:
Yes, I am biased as a 25 year employee of a University.
Yes, my University has also had completely unprecedented cuts in the past 12-24 months, with more coming.
Yes, it is because of the loss of International Students and their tuition revenue. Without that loss, many domestic enrollment numbers have actually been growing, but the money per student is orders of magnitude less. (ie. International was a cash cow)
Yes, faculty and even many admin, have been warning about the government downloading funding onto International tuitions for decades.
Yes, government will claim they are “investing more than ever”, but this is usually about Capital expenses (buildings, residences, infrastructure) or meeting contractual increases for staff salaries, *not* operating expenses.
Yes, in BC in the 1980s 80-90% of a University or College operating budget was covered by “base funding” from the province. Now, it is often below 50%. (If this makes you ask… is it still a “public University system”, please do!!)
And finally, yes, if we want to consider ourselves a modern country, we cannot possibly think this kind of contraction in educational opportunity (while domestic tuitions continue to increase!) is at all healthy for our society as a whole.

Super informative video from @… for health care professionals in the USA considering moving to Canada (specifically British Columbia).
The process has been sped up from 4-5 months to 3 weeks using the "HealthMatch" system in BC.
Lots of detail here for doctors specifically looking to make the move and probably informative for other healthcare folks too.

Spanish police busted a human smuggling network that had migrants in Greece pay €3000 to be handed a boarding pass and fake passport and travel documents so they could then fly to the UK or Canada. The Canada Border Service Agency flagged it to the Spanish police in 2024.
