Reminder that Americans and their defenders in the CPC will tell you that she did something wrong, and why should she expect special treatment?
And indeed yes, the biggest difference now is that the horrid treatment that minorities have long face is applied to Canadians now. Even conventionally attractive white Canadians.
We liked the special treatment, but the regular treatment was never okay. We should have rejected the special treatment then but we were cowards and getting special treatment felt nice. You can save a few bucks on cheese, after all. The weather was nice.
Because anyone can make a mistake. Marooney did, but I make mistakes sometimes and you could too.
Don’t let this happen to you, do not choose to enter the United States.
That's the story here... Generally gestapo targets the vulnerable but nwo they appear to just fuck with people because they don't care about the media attention
The shift from being part of the “safe” group to the vulnerable group took a lot of Canadians by surprise, including me.
And indeed, many in the American left still doesn’t see this in that way. Because the barrel isn’t yet pointed at them. Which implies that many of us — maybe including me — wouldn’t either if the focus was solely on Mexico and central/south America and China.
