BREAKING: STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT OBAMA AND MRS. OBAMA

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Federal law enforcement and immigration agents have a tough job. But Americans expect them to carry out their duties in a lawful, accountable way, and to work with, rather than against, state and local officials to ensure public safety.

That’s not what we’re seeing in Minnesota. In fact, we’re seeing the opposite.

For weeks now, people across the country have been rightly outraged by the spectacle of masked ICE recruits and other federal agents acting with impunity and engaging in tactics that seem designed to intimidate, harass, provoke and endanger the residents of a major American city. These unprecedented tactics—which even the former top lawyer of the Department of Homeland Security in the first Trump administration has characterized as embarrassing, lawless and cruel—have now resulted in the fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens. And yet rather than trying to impose some semblance of discipline and accountability over the agents they’ve deployed, the President and current administration officials seem eager to escalate the situation, while offering public explanations for the shootings of Mr. Pretti and Renee Good that aren’t informed by any serious investigation—and that appear to be directly contradicted by video evidence.

This has to stop. I would hope that after this most recent tragedy, administration officials will reconsider their approach, and start finding ways to work constructively with Governor Walz and Mayor Frey as well as state and local police to avert more chaos and achieve legitimate law enforcement goals.

In the meantime, every American should support and draw inspiration from the wave of peaceful protests in Minneapolis and other parts of the country. They are a timely reminder that ultimately it’s up to each of us as citizens to speak out against injustice, protect our basic freedoms, and hold our government accountable.

@joe_warmington There was a 16x9 feature years ago

[Chris Scott @cbscott18]

Kingston had an exceptionally dedicated team in Criminal Investigations at that time truly proud to part it.

[Joe Warmington @joe_warmington]

Later I covered the Shafia horrors in Kingston where police were way ahead of them. By that time @KingstonPolice chief @ChiefTanner — now at Halton — and the @OPP_News were very sophisticated in their investigation of this kind of crime. That family thought they were smarter than them and above the law. Neither were true. Thx for what you do. Like you, I think of these victims often. Aqsa Parvez, Shafia sisters Zainab, 19, Sahar, 17, Geeti, 13, and stepmom Rona Muhammad Omar, 52. Brampton’s Poonam Litt too.

BREAKING: Justin Trudeau is specifically asked if he believes that Trump's tariffs are an Act of War.

His answer is tremendous.

"Canadians are not angry at the American people for this. We don’t have anything against Americans. Americans are our neighbors, our friends, our partners. We do things together, we’ve done things together for decades and generations. This is a policy decision by the American government (Donald Trump), designed to go after the Canadian economy. This is a trade war — yes. But Canadians are hurt, Canadians are angry. We’re going to choose to not go on vacation to Florida or Old Orchard Beach or wherever. We’re gonna choose to try to buy Canadian products and forgo bourbon and other classic American products. We’re probably going to continue booing the American National Anthem. But let me tell Americans — we’re not booing you, we’re not booing your teams, we’re not booing your players -- we’re booing a policy that is designed to hurt us."

How can anyone view Trump as the good guy in this Trade war?

[Canada Hates Trump @AntiTrumpCanada]

We are cancelling our USA vacations

We are not buying American products

We are cancelling contracts with Elon Musk

We are removing all American liquor from our shelves

We are cutting our power to states that rely on it

We stand with Ukraine

We will never be the 51st state

BREAKING: In a Chilling speech, Justin Trudeau Explains why Trump is
really issuing Tariffs, saying it's not really about Fentanyl but about annexing them:

“We have to fall back on the one thing he has said repeatedly —That what he wants is to see a TOTAL COLLAPSE of the Canadian economy, because that will make it easier to ANNEX us. First of all that is NEVER going to happen.  We will NEVER be the 51st state.”

Mike Myers playing Elon Musk on SNL and then busting out a CANADA IS NOT FOR SALE SHIRT at the end of the show is exactly the energy we need right now. 🤛❤️🇨🇦

Time for Liberal MPs (including and especially Ministers) to tell the PM that it's over.

When the general is losing his most loyal soldiers on the eve of a (tariff) war, the country desperately needs a new general.

@JustinTrudeau—#itstime, long past time to go.
