I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase.
It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play.

Hi peeps,
My big trip through Canada is only three weeks away now and I'm starting to feel nervous 😬
So I thought I'd post here to ask y'all a few things, mainly about socialising and meeting folks. - specifics about my travels at the bottom
1.) I'm still looking for couch surfing hosts in Vancouver and Toronto. People on beWelcome aren't really answering. Is there some advice? Or advice on cheap accommodation for 1-3 nights in those towns? Or maybe even some of y'all who'd like to hosts me 😀
2.) what are some good ways to meet people on the road? Are there social media apps that are favoured in Canada? Specific places for travellers? (YMCA, hostels, clubs...?)
3.) any other things you'd like to tell me? XD
My trip is: arriving in Vancouver on the 25th of Juli, renting a car on the next day. Plans to travel the west for about 3 weeks. Domestic flight to Toronto on the 16th of August, rental car in Toronto on the 17th, driving around Ontario and the east for two weeks. Departure from Toronto on the first of September.
Ah shit, I woulda totally had you over in Vancouver, if I wasn't away on a trip myself around when you arrive. Maybe after Aug 5th I could, if you haven't moved to another city.
1) hostels in Canada are generally fine, not luxury but social. Vancouver's Chinatown is cheap, downtown and well connected. However the downside with the cheap area there is the street can smell and there are plenty of homeless people, minding their own business. Otherwise you'll be on the outskirts.
2) if you're getting to know people my age, instagram is pretty popular (i dont have it)
3) people are generally nice all over Canada, hospitality will vary by area and person. Go to nightclubs Fri and Sat mostly if you're into that. Social spots are cafes bars and beaches.
First off, welcome in advance, enjoy your trip!
Bad news: Toronto traffic is nuts, and accoms are expensive. Good news: transit is good. Assuming you're landing at pearson, the UP Express train takes you straight into downtown & it's like $10. Anywhere you could want to go in the city centre is walkable or easy to get to on transit, no reason to drive, really. In certain spots during rush hour, it's actually faster to walk than drive. But, that's a good thing for exploring.
Don't be afraid to ask people for help or directions while you're here. People in Toronto and Vancouver have a lot of pride in their cities, and want visitors to have a good time, especially if they're coming from overseas. Canadians are typically kind, and helpful!

Several people I respect recently made similar observations to the effect that there is the security community, and then there's the security industry, which are frequently two VERY different things with somewhat misaligned goals and incentives. Seems like there's a lot of truth to explore there.
From my various provocations on LinkedIn the past six months, it's become clear the latter is largely content to sit quietly or even cheer as this administration makes a public mockery of everything their industry claims to stand for. I suspect this may have something to do with tons of security firms suddenly recasting themselves as AI-focused companies.
Am I way off base or too idealistic or simplistic here, or just jaded? I've been trying to identify the real source of my malaise over attending security industry events over the past few months, and I think this dynamic is a big part of it.

"Jamie Raskin's Preamble to the Big Ugly Bill and Trump didn't like it”, DailyKos
“Mr. Speaker, I found a Preamble to this Big Ugly Bill. We the billionaires, and our King, in order to deform and sicken our Union, establish injustice, ensure domestic servility, weaken our peoples defenses, undermine our general welfare, and reserve to ourselves and our posterity staggering debt servitude for eternity, do herby instruct the Republicans in Congress to strip 17 million people of their healthcare, increase copays, premiums and deductibles for everyone else, cut 42 million people off of nutritional assistance, increase the national debt by 4 trillion dollars, trash renewable energy systems, increase our electric bills for the carbon kings, all to weaken and destroy the Constitution of the people of these United States of America. Please include this Preamble in the legislative record. I yield back.”

be it human bodies, ability to grow food or valuable shit under the ground, it's all about resources and the power gained by granting or denying access to them on the global market.
If countries were all small, there would be fewer centers of power and more collaboration. We'd still need something LIKE the UN to stop East Bumblefuck from invading West Bumblefuck, but there would be more coalitions because each political unit would have less power.
