We can sin just as well at home. What happens in Moose Jaw, stays in Moose Jaw

What a surprise! /s

At least two Canadian toddlers have been held in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody this year, including one who was detained for 51 days, more than double the legal detention period for migrant children in the United States, a Globe and Mail analysis of American enforcement data shows.

The children, who are under the age of four, were both detained at a remote Texas facility that has been the subject of a legal complaint alleging inadequate access to safe drinking water, medical care and legal assistance. At the time of detention, they appear to have been accompanied by adults who were also apprehended.

The toddlers are among 149 Canadians ranging between two and 77 years old who have been held at some point in ICE custody since January, when President Donald Trump took office and ordered an expansive immigration crackdown.

"But I'm white! It will never happen to me!" Them, probably.

Goodyear came up with a sustainable tire a couple of years ago and I think one of the Finnish companies did as well. Not sure how widely available they are though.

"People like this need to be punished … they have no idea what harm they are doing">

Oh, they know. They just don't care.

Gahhh! I know you're joking, but I have seen the sort of regular maintenance the workers do at public pools and never want one of my own.

Are you in Saskatoon and is that Harry Bailey you refer to?

I wasn't living here then, but when the Shaw Center was to be built in Saskatoon, apparently a public town hall type meeting was held to announce it and at the very end the city planners of the time said something like "Oh by the way, we're mothballing the Harry Bailey Aquatic Center, so this replaces it".

To their utter astonishment, people loudly protested and they were forced to back down and keep Harry Bailey. Gee, imagine that - people actually wanted a centrally located pool designed for actual swimming, so that they didn't have to drive out to the far west edge of town if they lived on the east side. The only other indoor pools in or close to the east side are tiny cramped "leisure" pools. (Lawson is bearable, Lakewood is thoroughly awful for laps.)

So, Harry Bailey was in service until early 2023 and is now undergoing a massive renovation. Looking forward to swimming there again next year. Last time I drove by they were installing photovoltaic panels on the steep roof.

I sure hope you're wrong. 🙁
