J.D. Tuccille: Trump administration turns on gun rights, as Americans turn on ICE

U.S. federal agents have killed another protester in Minneapolis. The lethal shooting of Alex Pretti appears even more egregiously unjustified than the similar killing of Renee Good. The continued siege of the state of Minnesota by the Trump administration is not only repelling Americans who once supported the president’s hard line on immigration, but also costing lives and driving Republicans and Democrats to exchange positions on core issues like the right to keep and bear arms.

Jack Jedwab: Reducing the Holocaust to yet another story of colonialism distorts history

Today, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honour the victims and survivors of the Holocaust and mark the 1945 liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp.

The president’s language was characteristically blunt: Canada would become a “drop off port” for Chinese goods, and “China will eat Canada alive, completely devour it.” This is the predictable consequence of Carney's reckless foreign policy.
