Again, the same passive voice. The word they should use is Killed.
That's archetypal passive voice since it doesn't change the target of the verb and uses state-of-being plus past participle.
"ICE kills Canadian citizen" switches this around.
“At no time during detention is a detained illegal alien denied emergent care.”
I guess that doesn't go for legal residents, like this guy was.
Canada now gets to pick one of ours. Fair is fair.
Any one. Anyone at all. Just pick >_>
Are politicians on the menu?
That's a difficult choice. So many good candidates. But we're still nicer than that, for now.
Only one?

wonder how next snowbird migration is going to play out
It's already not good this year. My dad owns a condo in Florida and said a lot of the Canadians sold their condos in his complex. They just didn't want to deal with the extra immigration paperwork this administration added.
My parents used to go down to Arizona. They sold their trailer back in 2018 (so just before Covid which was very lucky). They've done the odd trip down to the US (they sold because they wanted to go to different places) but plan to go out to Vancouver Island and other places more often now.
Family friends with a house in Palm Desert sold their place after Trump joked about Canada being the 51st state and plan to never go back down again. At least for as long as he is president.
Cool, we’re starting to murder our neighbors. How great for us. Super swell.
ooooooh, careful guys. that border has lawyers. you were only supposed to cause wrongful deaths on the other one
I would say don't visit the USA, but he was a citizen. Crazy.
Not a citizen, but he should have been. If a legal resident has been in the US for ten years, the government should either have to grant them citizenship or explain why they don't qualify and deport them. This guy was selling drugs, yeah, but he was also probably paying taxes. That's the whole point of the system as it is, exploiting immigrants for illegal labor and then blaming them when they get caught. This guy should have gotten a trial, probably some prison time, and enough rehabilitation to reenter free society.
Follow the money. I guarantee a private company was involved and they probably do some kind of business in Canada. Make sure they're completely booted from the Canadian market.
Make sure to sanction their employees and their employees families too.
