Point of order: Why are there American ICE agents in Canada in the first place?

Americans are assholes, obviously. My question is why they’re in Canada.

The answer is the same :(

Ice does have more functions than domestic removal of brown people. It's the same reason ICE was in italy for the Olympics. But why would anyone trust them anymore even if they do provide services that would be useful?

I don't think she has much power here but I am happy she is standing up for this.

The US gave Canada and Mexico the unprofitable games. I think they did the same with the Olympics.

We really didn't want it.
