What a dumb fucking point. Clickbait article.

"Here’s a scenario: Minnesota shares a border with Canada. Let’s say a stream of undocumented people decided to make a run for Sprague, Manitoba. Let’s say they somehow end up on the other side. ICE isn’t happy about it, and, on this day, agents decide to ignore the fact there’s a border."

Ok... I could find a place and just cross the border illegally too. Maybe me and a whole bunch of people.

It doesn't mean it's okay and that there won't be any repercussions....

"There will be a political and economic price if Canada followed member of Parliament Heather McPherson’s call for all ICE out of Canada"

There's no cost for standing up to bullies. On the contrary, the cost comes from backing down.

Folks, unlock your gun cabinets. These MF-ers as much as make noise on our soil, Luigi them all!

[-] rekabis@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

Learn how to snipe at distance. We cannot beat them with force, but we can bleed them dry from a million separate cuts.

The only good fascist is a dead fascist.

Give me an excuse. Please.

You all need to be pressing your government to declare ICE a terrorist organization so that you can bar entry of any current or former member into the country.

[-] Alloi@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

we have ICE offices in canada, in a bunch if our major cities, including ottawa. our capital.

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 22 points 2 days ago

Yeah. You might want to try to correct that.

[-] Alloi@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

there are none in my city, but if one does end up here. the plan is to burn it.

[-] MyDogLovesMe@lemmy.world 114 points 2 days ago

I believe I, and any Canadian, have every right to kill a person who represents a foreign (hostile)government, and tries to abduct me, or those I care about in my country. As they do not represent my government, I believe I’m free and clear.

No authority?

No process?

It is then an act of war, and we should respond accordingly with deadly force.

Just sayin.

[-] CarolusRex@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

I agree, foreign agents seeking to subvert Canadian sovereignty, their life is forfeit as long as they are operating on Canadian soil. They shouldn't have any legal protections either if their objective is to destabilize the country or attack our sovereignty.

[-] kingofras@lemmy.world 37 points 2 days ago

This is one of the first times I’ve heard a Canadian threatening without saying sorry first.

Shit must be gettin’ tough

The most polite people I know are also the most willing to stand up against wrong doing when the time comes. They are they way they are because they value good prosocial behaviour, they're willing to sacrifice their own convenience for it, and they're willing to defend it.

[-] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 23 points 2 days ago

We are polite…..until we aren’t. That’s how the Geneva Convention was created.

Canadians are chomping at the bit here to get a reason to go burn down the Whitehouse again.

[-] locotx@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago

It's "champing" at the bit.

[-] glibg@lemmy.ca 30 points 2 days ago

You're a true chompion of the English language.

[-] Gerblat@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago

I’ll drink to that

gulps down a mouthful of chompagne

[-] ryanpdg1@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 days ago

It's only chompagne if it comes from the chompagne region of Fronce

[-] NebulaNymph@programming.dev 15 points 2 days ago

True, otherwise it's just sporkling wine

[-] nwtreeoctopus@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 days ago

They're generally both considered correct. "Chomping at the bit" has been in use for over 100 years.

[-] tempest@lemmy.ca 23 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Language, where you just have to be wrong long enough that your version becomes a dialect.

[-] nwtreeoctopus@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago

It's literally the worst.

From a grizzled, old, Scottish WWII veteran: “Young Man, I’ll tell ya something I learned in the war, never, ever underestimate those Canadians! They are the toughest soldiers I encountered in the war.”

FTR: he also said he thought Germans were pansies, lol.

Dead now, but he was a tough SOB, himself (I mean, he WAS Scottish, so that’s a pedigree right there).

We must prepare for potential ICE agressive incursions into our territory.
We must be ruthless against fascism.

[-] Dionysus@leminal.space 19 points 2 days ago

Karl Popper had it right.

Do not tolerate intolerance and the behavior seen from the south.

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Don't tolerate pro-MAGA Canadian Conservatives either. They're working against Canada.

Because if they did I'd have the right to kill them as an invading force. Fuck ice may they all die.

[-] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 days ago

We need to start protesting to get ICE out of Canada

[-] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

Here's an idea. If ICE walks across the border, shoot them. They're a hostile foreign invader.

[-] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 22 points 2 days ago

Aha, so baaically if you get snatched and dragged into the US for suspected violation of US law, the American legal system is okay with it and you have limited avenues to defend yourself. Canada would have to "convince" the US to let you go. In other words, exercise higher caution around ICE than our neighbours do.

Fact of the matter is if ICE wanted to round up Canadians, most local police, at least in Alberta, would be helping to support ICE operations while making a canned statement on TV about the legality of their actions.

[-] rozodru@piefed.world 20 points 2 days ago

I'd love to see them try. And I think many Canadians are also chomping at the bit to "see America try". Lets see how far they get up here.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago

[-] MrShankles@reddthat.com 1 points 1 day ago

The furthest an American can get is those who go to help defend Canada

[-] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

The question is: would a Canadian citizen witnessing an ICE kidnapping happen in Canada be allowed to use up to lethal force to stop it?

[-] Typotyper@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 days ago

No. But if there's no body there's no murder.

[-] IndridCold@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 days ago

I don't care. I'm not an American gimp. I'll help a person being kidnapped or harassed in Canada. If it's a US MAGA Nazi fuck, they'll get a mother fucking double-double. I'll take the chance.

Fuck ICE.
