@natnewswatch@SpencerLynne@USAmbCanada is in the FO phase of FA with Canada. We don't want their dirty dairy, and they can lust after our freshwater all they want. We don't have anything they need, they can eat those words.
After mass protests, the Albanian government has reportedly announced it has suspended the $4bn luxury island Kushner/Trump project while environmental and corruption investigations are carried out.

@nfldevleague@AJENews Because they invaded his country for no reason. Murdered school girls for no reason and no remorse. Let's start there otherwise quiet, Piggy.
Charlie Angus: There was a group of young Normandy students, and two young teenage girls read a poem in French to the commemoration ceremonies and to the immense field of the dead. And she said, "We are the children that you never had. We are the children of liberty."
And there wasn't a dry eye in the house, but I always remember because Charles Scott Brown, in his 90s, stood up. And he broke protocol, of course, and he said to those young girls, "Don't cry for any man in this field. They came to free you, and they would do it again if they were asked."
That's what we come from. That is [Canada's] legacy. Do you think that we're going to let the likes of Pete Hoekstra push us around, or Donald Trump and his predator government threaten us? That's what we represent.
A year ago, The Hill Times reported a clear message from Turkish earthquake survivors in Canada:
โClear a path for immigration amid uncertainty.โ
That story captured the reality of TS2023 open work-permit holders, families who arrived under extraordinary circumstances, built their lives here, entered the Canadian workforce immediately, and helped fill labour shortages across the country. They came with nothing but hope, and in return, Canada offered a temporary solution, promising safety and a chance to rebuild.
Twelve months have passed.
Despite repeated requests, collective letters, petitions tabled in Parliament, and direct engagement with MPs, there is still no answer.
No clear pathway.
No extension plan.
No certainty for families who started from zero and trusted Canada.
During this year:
TS2023 families joined workplaces in health care, food production, construction, logistics, IT, and education.
Employers invested in them, trained them, and relied on them.
Children entered schools.
Settlement organizations supported their integration.
Communities grew stronger because of their contribution.
But today, every family is living with the same question the Hill Times highlighted one year ago:
What happens when the special measure expires?
TS2023 was not a tourist program.
It was a humanitarian response to one of the largest disasters in recent history.
Those who arrived are now part of our communities, our workplaces, and our future. Allowing their lives to fall into uncertainty again would undo the very purpose of the program.
Canada has a history of turning emergency measures into long-term, principled solutions when integration, contribution, and humanitarian protection align. TS2023 meets all three criteria.
We are respectfully calling on the Government of Canada, especially those who carried TS2023 into existence, to provide clarity:
๐น Will TS2023 holders receive an extension?
๐น Will a structured pathway be created for those already contributing to Canada?
๐น Will families be protected from falling into status uncertainty again?
There are solutions available.
Whatโs missing is direction.
TS2023 holders are not asking for special privileges; they are asking for a fair process, built on the same Canadian values that welcomed them a year ago. They have spent twelve months proving they belong here.
The question is no longer โWhy should this program continue?โ
The real question is:
How can Canada afford to lose what these families built?
Itโs time for an answer.
