If Iran was holding a US citizen against their will and let them die in custody, we would drop a nuke on them.
I hope Canada takes the opportunity to punish us hard for this shit.

I get it dude, but the US citizen in Iran was a CIA agent fucking with the country.
I wasn't really making any kind of judgement about it. I just read your comment and thought "I'm pretty sure that's already happened" so I looked it up.
I dunno about a nuke. Maybe a stern glance in the direction of Iran. I know it's not quite the same since Saudi Arabia is our frienemy after 9/11, but this US administration's support is probably more based on skin color than anything.
It sorta depends on what kind of US citizen they are. As one example, US-Israeli citizens are precious innocents who must be protected at all costs, but US-Palestinian citizens are fine as collateral.
No way, we haven’t given much of a fuck about this sort of thing for decades now
Unless they are a Democrat
Well, yeah but he probably just got here...
Checks notes
ICE noted Noviello had been a lawful permanent resident of the U.S. since 1991, after entering the country through legal visa status in 1988. However, it also said he was facing removal for being convicted of drug charges “as a non-immigrant overstay.”
37 years ago
Yeah, at that point, he was more American than Canadian. The US government should have to explain either why he wasn't granted citizenship or else why he wasn't deported. Keeping people in citizenship limbo is just diet slavery, a disposable workforce. I get that's probably the whole point and has been for a while, but I also think it's good to call it out until enough people care to make a change.

37 Canadian Years or US Years?
Ironically enough he was arrested in Florida which is far enough away there's likely a real difference over that long of time.
Like "real" as in there is a difference. Not that it is in anyway significant.
I googled and apparently in the ~14 billion years we think the universe has existed, the north pole has experienced about four more days of time than the equator.
So like 37 American years or 37.000000000000000000000001 Canadian years.
I'm assuming American.
I really wasn’t expecting real answer but this is probably the most perfect response I’ve ever seen
Eh, that's over the estimated life of the universe.
Our solar system is likely a third that age.
It was just the first example I got when googling it, and I didn't want to break it down and convert it to make it more accurate.
Even then, pole reversal are common (speaking of, were like 100k years overdue and inexplicable shit is going on under the antarctic right now...) so even over the life of the Earth you'd have to keep teleporting to each new North Pole.
But it's a good example of relativity.

Well, given the dwindling life expectancy of Americans, 37 Canadian years is probably somewhere over 40 American.

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.
Masked Gang Kidnap and kill Canadian citizen under Trump orders
would be a proper title
“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.
For them, immigrants aren't humans and do not deserve humane treatment. Who tf calls a human being an "alien"??
The first definition of alien is "foreign", not "extraterrestrial".
It's dehumanizing language, nonetheless.
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?
/joke
Anyone? Why let more innocent people suffer. Hand over those responsible.

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.
Well, that and the gulags
But especially the paperwork in the gulags.
This comment pisses me off so much.
Are you serious? Paperwork? That's what your dad thinks Canadians are concerned about?
Probably since I'm assuming most of them are white.
Old white people basically never think they're going to be the target for government discrimination.
Yes, because that's what they have said they are concerned about. Why doubt what they say?

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.
Starting? I need to remind you Mexicans are US neighbors too
True. I apologize.
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.
Ice kills foreign citizen
This is why, as a Canadian, I will not be going to the US any time soon.
Fascist regime kills foreign national. Fixed.
Canada, nows the time to reveal your secret robot army and take revenge. You have a secret robot army, right?
This is the last chance for the world-at-large to stop this. murica LLC is cooked.
Looks at all the previous lines in the sand, stretching far off into the distance
