“The French government announced that it will stop using American video conferencing platforms such as Microsoft Teams and Zoom, and replace them with Visio, a French platform.”

There is a cost to science denial.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

"I think it's no surprise that a company run by a man who sat behind Trump at his inauguration, and donated to the destruction of the White House, has taken a stance that helps ICE agents retain anonymity." Scoop from @davidgilbert.bsky.social

Good morning #TeslaTakedown folks. Here is Step 1 in taking on Canadian businesses doing business with #ICE. We are asking Canadians to contact their Member of Parliament and the Standing Committee on Industry and Technology to investigate these company’s contracts.

Hey @saveonfoods.bsky.social my family will never shop at Save On again if you support ICE in any way, including by taking their money for your building. #BCPoli #CdnPoli

A Canadian-made armoured vehicle was spotted on Minneapolis streets the day ICE murdered Alex Pretti. The company that sold ICE that monster as part of a $10 million deal? Roshel. What’s more: Canada’s government brought Roshel’s CEO on a trade mission SIX DAYS AFTER Renee Good was murdered.

Canadian boycott of Maine update #mepolitics: Between February and December 2025, there were 801,000 fewer authorized border crossings between Maine and Canada The drop was almost entirely due to Canadians staying away - thru November, there were 672,000 fewer Canadian visits to Maine

for me it was the fact that the author is one of the main driving forces behind the global movement to kill my trans friends and erase their existence hope that helps

@hootsuite.com will likely not care so much about the negative opinion of non-customers. Only the negative feedback of actual paying users of Hootsuite services will catch the company's attention.

Agreed. And we can and should ask Parliament to step in to end any contracts to send armoured vehicles to ICE: www.ctvnews.ca/business/art... If not, Canadian military hardware will be used to wage political violence in America. We can't pretend we don't know that exactly that would happen.

Following this exclusive (and excellent) piece from David, I've contacted the federal government to ask if they intend to continue subsidizing JSI Telecom in the future. I've also contacted JSI Telecom for comment, adding them to the list of Canadian businesses working with ICE who I've contacted.

I've spent my day tracking down Canadian companies that have direct or indirect contracts supporting ICE operations. So far, I've found NINE. I've reached out to all of them. I plan to publish my video on this tomorrow, detailing the companies, contract amounts and purposes.

Dear @paulbrandt1.bsky.social CTV is reporting that you are cheering on those who would break up our country. You should come clean with Canadians. If you are cheering the quislings, stop cashing in on our beautiful flag.

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS. Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies. AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS. Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

I should also give a shout out to @skepticalraptor.bsky.social who published multiple excellent articles on HPV vaccines. www.skepticalraptor.com/skepticalrap...

More awesome reporting from the folks over at @thelogic.co:

In December, the Canadian government gave $1 million to Ottawa's JSI Telecom to commercialize AI-driven data analytics. JSI, a wiretaps and investigation support firm, had a banner year in U.S. government sales in 2025, including a big new contract with ICE. thelogic.co/news/exclusi...

This is a big deal even if it isn't surprising (it should be! but this is modern right-wing politics, apparently!) The Conservative Party isn't accrediting @nationalobserver.com, but gives "content creator" accreditation to people like a streamer that begged me for feet pics and "Berta Proud Dad."

I think @sarahjeong.bsky.social said it's because they devalue women's labor and a LOT of this Scary Logistics stuff comes from people who don't understand that basically all of the civic life they enjoy is created with the help of free labor, largely by women.

There are a lot of men out there who do not see any of the logistics happening around them and they're like "wait, where the fuck did these hand warmers come from?" Look at every kid wearing mittens, and that's your answer. From the people who have been silently keeping hands warm for centuries.

Radon gas is everywhere in Canada. We're on a thick bed of Leda clay here in Ottawa, but we still had high levels of radon. Your house doesn't have to be sitting on rock. www.cbc.ca/news/health/...
