Worms in food, poor medical care, lights on…
Having a clean place to sleep, having food, that’s not the same thing as having family and community,
Until today I don’t know what we did wrong to get detained,
The Dilley facility is a family residential center designed specifically to house family units in a safe, structured and appropriate environment,
She would tell me, 'Mom, what crime did I commit to be a prisoner?' I didn’t know what to tell her,
We've started to use 100 days as a benchmark because so many children are exceeding 20 days,
My mom says that as long as there is hope it is worth fighting for,
No child at Dilley... has been denied medical treatment or experienced a delayed medical assessment,
I feel very sad and stressed to be here,
Let’s go home, Mom, but don’t go back to work because ICE is going to pick you up again,
All his friends have left already,
'D-Day for Iranians': Some Iranian Canadians…
People came out to the street and started dancing,
They know this surgery has to be done for the cancer to be removed,
If there is a free country... there will be no nuclear bomb,
A lot of us Canadians aren't very happy with President Trump for obvious reasons. A lot of us have our problems with the way Israel reacted in the aftermath of Oct. 7. But... this is an evil regime. This is like D-Day for Iranians,
Carney lands in India to kick off Asia trip
Carney and Modi are each looking to decrease their countries' dependence on trade with the United States under President Donald Trump
I think what we should hope (for) is a kind of a direction, a kind road map and kind of a desire to suggest that this is where we want to reach, rather than saying that this the destination,
Both for India and for Canada, the big picture is one of diversification and reducing overreliance on the U.S.,
The same logic as what is driving Prime Minister Carney is also driving Prime Minister Modi,
When they met in October in Delhi, they launched a road map for rebuilding and resetting the relationship that has specific areas for co-operation, AI and technology being one of them, energy being another,
This is solidifying what is already present. We have so much good happening,
Unless intrinsically two countries believe that they can align and work together, but instead are being driven only by external factors or one single leader, once that leader is not there or once things change, then this relationship could again go down south,
We have to now make up for that lost time and really put forward an agenda that will set us up for a 20-year kind of partnership. The time horizon has to be multi-decade,
A new Gallup poll shows how Americans'…
It’s the first time they have reached parity, which is really quite striking. In not many years, that very significant gap in public opinion has now completely closed."
On the ground, in the region, far fewer Israelis and Palestinians tell us that they are in favor of the two-state solution than Americans when asked a very similar question,
With adults over 55, they are more sympathetic to Israelis, but it's as low as it's been since 2005,
Trump heads to Texas, where 3 friends are…
It is a strong possibility we cannot hold Texas if John Cornyn is not our nominee,
I like all three of them, actually. Those are the toughest races. They've all supported me. They're all good. You're supposed to pick one, so we'll see what happens. But I support all three,
Anthropic refuses to bend to Pentagon on AI…
The Pentagon is negotiating with Google and OpenAI to try to get them to agree to what Anthropic has refused,
Since I was square in the middle of Project Maven & Google, it’s reasonable to assume I would take the Pentagon’s side here,
Carney looks to strengthen economic ties with…
As the prime minister has said, Canada will continue to take measures to combat any forms of transnational repression, transnational organized crime, and any contravention of the Criminal Code or rule of law on Canadian soil,
We will have disagreements with various countries around the world that we still aspire to trade with, and even where those disagreements are (present), it's important for us to not leave the conversation,
We do have a pulse tariff currently that we'd looking to, hopefully be removed at some point in time,
House Democrats say they're headed back to…
What we tell our members and what we tell candidates who are running is we have to do all of the things,
We cannot allow a federal agency -- one that was created for one purpose to terrorize -- to function as an occupying force in our communities,
We're here at this issues conference to talk amongst each other and with outside stakeholders and experts about a bold, meaningful, transformational path forward,
Trump raises the possibility of a 'friendly…

We’ve had a lot of years of dealing with Cuba. I’ve been hearing about Cuba since I’m a little boy. But they’re in big trouble,
Policies that deliberately impose hunger and mass hardship on millions of civilians constitute a form of collective punishment, and as such are a grave violation of international humanitarian law,
We could very well end up having a friendly takeover of Cuba.”
Nothing announced in recent days changes this reality,... The possibility of conditional sales to the private sector already existed and does not alleviate the impact on the Cuban population.”
Politics, trade on tap for Poilievre during trip…
The trip comes just after he outlined his vision for Canada's relationship with the United States, at a speech in Toronto on Thursday
China suspends some canola, seafood tariffs on…
Carney met earlier this year with Chinese President Xi Jinping, and the leaders inked a deal on electric vehicles and canola
These commitments are on track as officials work on implementation details,
Canada can't brush aside security concerns about…
Carney follows up speech in Davos with trip to…
In some ways, the trip is long overdue given how significant Japan is as a partner for us in the region,
Whether he comes back with deals that do significantly enhance Canada's economic relationship or security relationship with any of these countries, that remains to be seen,
In Asia, Canada is having a moment. Prime Minister Carney's speech really was quite an important development in how Asia sees Canada,
We both decided that this is too important a relationship to let go, for it to meander the way it was meandering,
We don't have a lot of details but I'm hoping that we will see some announcements connected to the trilateral during the prime minister's visit,
They're a commodity exporter. We're a commodity exporter. They're an agricultural powerhouse. We're an agricultural powerhouse,
The Indo-Pacific is where the centre of gravity for geopolitics and economic growth... is increasingly converging,
Very clearly there is a desire to close the previous chapter or whatever happened with the previous government... and to start afresh,
Canada and Japan in the past few years just seized on each other as stable, like-minded countries that are committed to a rules-based international order and committed to a liberal international order,
Multibillion-dollar budget deficit on tap as…
These are all the results of choices that this government has made,
Affordability is still a major challenge across the province, and I would say we think that Alberta's balance sheet is able to weather this (better) than many Albertan households,
They can't balance the budget, and they can't invest in the things that people want, and so this budget is a chance for them to turn it around -- and they won't be able to turn it around,
Conservative leader pitches vision for…
Brady Tkachuk slams White House TikTok as…
Liberals survive confidence vote on omnibus…
Bill C-15 carried on division, meaning there was no recorded vote in Parliament
Liberal, Bloc Quebecois rematch in Terrebonne…
Bloc Leader Yves-Francois Blanchet announced his candidate today, paying tribute to Sinclair-Desgagne's relentless drive
Poilievre calls for all-party working group on…
What President Trump says about Canada is wrong,
The lesson in this moment is simple: the path to sovereignty is focusing relentlessly on what is within our power,
We have to control what we can control
We should not declare a permanent rupture from our biggest customer and closest neighbour in favour of a strategic partnership for a new world order with Beijing, a regime the prime minister himself said was the biggest threat to Canada just a year ago,
We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition,
The most effective response to uncertainty is not outrage, it is results,
By unblocking our resources and unleashing our economy, we can become affordable and autonomous, and build the leverage to fight for tariff-free trade with the United States,
We must divide the problem into what we control and what we do not control,
This is, by the way, something that Mark Carney has said -- and I agree with him. He has said that we cannot control what the U.S. president says or does, we can control what we do on this side of the border,
Hillary Clinton demands public deposition after…
I had no idea about their criminal activities. I do not recall ever encountering Mr. Epstein,

Today will be a long deposition, I would assume, and tomorrow will be an even longer deposition,
The question in November is do we give power to the people who fight for corruption, who fight for fraud, who fight for illegal aliens, or do we give the government to the American citizens for whom it was designed and for whom it was created
The Mexican government is demonstrating a sincere ongoing commitment to the shared counternarcotics cause which has plagued both of our nations for decades,
Obviously, it's a sign of the importance that the United States feels towards the Security Council and the subject."
News of DACA recipients being arrested and deported is deeply troubling,
Great news for America, and our wonderful White House!,
However, undertaking a war of choice in the Middle East, without a full understanding of all the attendant risks to our servicemembers and to escalation, is reckless,
Trump's State of the Union address seen by 32.6…
An estimated 32.6 million people watched President Donald Trump's State of the Union address this week, down four million from his speech to Congress last year and the smallest audience he's ever gotten for the annual message
Trump's trade czar says Canada must accept…
Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger questions…
As we celebrate 250 years since America declared our independence from tyranny, I can think of no better place to speak to you,
Democrats across the country are laser focused on affordability, in our nation's capital, and in state capitals and communities across America,
This is not what our founders envisioned. Not by a long shot,
Is the president working to make life more affordable for you and your family? Is the president working to keep Americans safe, both at home and abroad? Is the president working for you?"
This is the golden age of America."
They’re making your life harder, they’re making your life more expensive, they’re even making it more difficult for you to see a doctor,
Ottawa must borrow hundreds of billions to meet…
Early in its tenure, the Carney government committed to a substantial increase in defence spending over the next decade, promising allies in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) that Canada will spend the equivalent of 5 per cent of its economy on its military by 2035
Trump plans to take his State of the Union…
If you think about a call and response... the call is the State of the Union, and if you really do care about being in touch with others, then what's the response?"... The best way to be able to see that is by hitting the road.”
The State of the Union, they’re less important than they once were because with a president like Trump, he’s always available,
Donald Trump is a master at the big moments, so he obviously cares a lot about how the speech goes, but what he cares a lot about are the clips that get replayed over and over again from the State of the Union,
I don’t expect this to be some Aaron Sorkin-esque, perfectly choreographed post-State of the Union media fan-out.”
