In 2010 the #TorontoPolice erased charter rights and illegally "kettled" citizens exercising their democratic rights and those simply trying to get home from work.
#MarkCarney amd his #LiberalPartyOfCanada rewarded the illegal behaviour and appointed #BillBlair to cabinet and now as Canada's high comissioner to the UK.
Hard work doesn't get you ahead anymore, deviancy does.
After years spent documenting state terror, I know it when I see it. And I see it now in the US and Israel (The Guardian)
It’s chilling to watch as Trump and Netanyahu adopt the methods of regimes their countries once condemned.
Terror also operates through fear. Policies are designed to make people more submissive.

OpEd: #StateTerror Has Arrived
By M. Gessen, Jan. 24, 2026
Excerpt:
"After the past three weeks of brutality in Minneapolis, it should no longer be possible to say that the Trump administration seeks merely to govern this nation. It seeks to reduce us all to a state of constant fear — a fear of violence from which some people may at a given moment be spared, but from which no one will ever be truly safe. That is our new national reality. State terror has arrived.
"Please look at this list with me. Since early January, when Immigration and Customs Enforcement expanded its operation in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minn., federal officers have: killed Renee Good, a white middle-class mother; menaced a pregnant immigration lawyer in her firm’s parking lot; detained numerous U.S. citizens, including one who was dragged out of his house in his underwear; smashed in the windows of cars and detained their occupants, including a U.S. citizen who was on her way to a medical appointment at a traumatic brain injury center; set off crowd-control grenades and a tear gas container next to a car that contained six children, including a 6-month-old; swept an airport, demanding to see people’s papers and arresting more than a dozen people who were working there; detained a 5-year-old. And now they have killed another U.S. citizen, Alex Jeffrey Pretti, an I.C.U. nurse with no criminal record. It seems he was white. The agents had him down on the ground, subdued, before they apparently fired at least 10 shots at point-blank range.
"Confronted with a list like this — a deluge like this — we look for details that might explain why these people were subjected to this treatment, details that might reassure us that we, by contrast, are not in danger. Good was in a relationship with a woman, and her partner, who is butch, spoke impertinently to an ICE officer, so there, Good wasn’t your average white mother after all. ChongLy Thao, the man who was dragged out of his house in his underwear, is an immigrant from Laos; he is not white, and presumably he speaks with an accent. The woman on her way to the medical appointment and the family with six kids drove through areas where anti-ICE protests were taking place. The 5-year-old child’s family doesn’t have permanent status. Little is known about Pretti at this writing, but his father said he did participate in protests and he might have been carrying a gun (legally).
"We don’t focus on these details in order to justify the federal agents’ actions, which are plainly brutal and unjustifiable; we do it to force the world to make sense, and to calm our nerves. If we don’t talk back, if we alter our routes to avoid protests, if we are lucky enough to be white, straight, natural-born Americans — or, if we are not, but we lie low, stay quiet — we will be safe. Conversely, we can choose to speak up, to go to protests, to take a risk. Either way, we tell ourselves, if we can predict the consequences, we have agency.
"But that’s not how state terror works.
In the 1990s, when I talked to people in the former Soviet Union about their families’ experiences of Stalinist terror, I was repeatedly struck by how much people seemed to know about their circumstances. Time and time again, people would tell me exactly what had led to their family members’ arrests or executions. Jealous neighbors had reported them to the authorities, or colleagues who had been arrested named them under duress. These stories had been passed on from generation to generation. How could they come to know so much, I wondered. They couldn’t. People crafted narratives out of suspicions, rumors and hints, to fill a desperate need for an explanation."

The phrase describing this behavior is "state terror". It is not "enforcement" or "operations". This is inexcusable.

🌎 [EN] ✊📣 ICE acts as a tool of state terror across the United States. Institutional violence, including deadly immigration operations, spreads fear and control over migrant communities in multiple cities. Terror becomes a political tool, normalizing violence and excluding those the State chooses.

Jupp, es ist staatlicher Terror, was wir gerade in den USA beobachten. Nach bewährtem Rezept, erprobt und dokumentiert. Und da sag nochmal jemand, die "Amis" hätten ein Geschichtsdefizit.
Einen 508 m hohen Wolkenkratzer #freeSolo ohne Sicherungen zu erklimmen scheint waghalsig, mit tödlichem Risiko. US-Bürger #AlexHonnold did it.
Er lebt. 🙂
(Climbing a 508 m Skyscraper free Solo seems risky. He lives.)
Auf der Straße Bundes-Einsatzkräft zu filmen klingt nicht sehr waghalsig, sondern ungefährlich. #US-Bürger #AlexPretti did it.
He is dead now. 😢
(Taking a video in the street does not sound dangerous.)
