Hey Canada could you not sell ice that stuff? Thanks ☺️
Alternately, do sell it, but make sure it's guaranteed to fail and become an expensive paperweight upon first use. I'd prefer your option, but I'll take mine if I can't get yours.
The failure option is better because it takes money from their budget and sends it to Canada, even if it's to a soulless corporation.
Wtf does ICE need with APCs?
Are they that terrified of normal people just trying to earn a living?
Yes. Racists are inherently cowards.
They're protecting us from all those immigrants who rob, rape, and murder us whenever we leave our homes.
I've been robbed, raped, and murdered three times in the last week, and I'm getting tired of it. I need to get ICEd up.
I'm Canadian and I disapprove of this message. It would also be nice if we stopped selling weapons to Israel.
Which would accomplish nothing. They'll just buy from Putin indirectly.
This reasoning, "I'll do the bad thing because if I didn't someone else would," could justify anything. If that's your moral standard, it's effectively no moral standard. Whether it's an individual or a country, someone has to step up and act better than the worst.
You seem to be in a really bad place today. U ok?
Hey Canada, if you could sabotage these somehow so they're useless and ICE becomes easier targets for American citizens that'd be awesome.
According to another comment on this thread they are Ford trucks, so it might be hard to tell the difference between sabotage and just plain Ford-iness.
I am relieved they hired Ford. At least you know this shit will break down all the time.
LOL. Made in Canada Ford trucks are shit. no need for sabotage.
give them twenty catalytic converters, all on the outside
because ramming innocent people in giant SUV's isn't satisfying enough.
Ummm… can we not?
I would prefer we don't sell weapons to fascist like Israel or the USA.
20 vehicles in 30 days, works out to $360k per vehicle.
FYI it's a stripped Ford 550, which are built in the US, rebuilt with armor.
They can only identify one vendor to fulfill the staggering quantity of...20? Smells like bullshit
It's the timeline.
Probably a grift, as MAGA is prone to do. I suspect a fair bit of the massive ICE budget is engineered to end up in the 1%'s pockets. I am not sure how to feel about these shitbirds cannibalizing their political goals for the sake of mammon...
Fuck, man...why? Why is Canada helping with this shit? Fuck Carney. Fuck this entire timeline. This is shameful.
The Canadian company Garda was the contractor building Alligator Auschwitz.
Another display of Canadisn so called display values Carney was talking about
You'd refuse and have all those canadian workers lose the contract?
That's some Trump grade business making right there
You are ok with selling things to the modern gestapo?
It would be funnier if they forced US ford to make them.
And if we didn't, would it make any difference? Nice to virtue signal when it doesn't affect your income.
What a trash mentality you have . It is like saying it's ok to be a criminal associate because even if there is no associate the criminal would still commit his crime. You are ok with people getting harassed and abused by ICE and think being human who care about that virtue signaler? Virtue signaling is just a dumb term used to shut other when you have no real arguments.
Do you not use cellphones because they have cobalt mined by children in them? Because otherwise this seems like pure virtue signaling.
Individuals do not bear as much responsibility than companies. Companies carry a far greater level of accountability because of the vast scale and influence. Virtue signaling is such a bullshit word that anybody use when they can address the actual issue mentioned in an article .
You would never shamelessly defend this if you had members of families victim of ICE
No one is defending ICE, but you get the problems you deserve as a country.
It's just dumb to expect ICE to shut down because they don't have a few trucks.
oh, your toes are curling in your birkenstocks and your ponytail is getting unravelled.
Why should Canada care what a shithole ex trading partner does with our trucks? ICE is bad, but it's not in Canada and it wasn't created by a massive 78 million voters of support. So battle on the internet like it actually does anything useful. And stay home smoking dope next election.
We signed multiple treaties about defending human rights. You don't have any values in your life?
Capitalism will sell you the rope to hang it.
Why would Canada support the modern day SS?
Because of the modern-day $$.
Canada is a big weapons supplier to Israel, the modern day Nazis. If that does not break their code of conduct nothing will.
Canada's code of conduct is "We'll fuck anything up for money." See also our mining corporations, oil companies, etc.
oops i may have manufactured wiring harnesses for these vehicles sorry guys 😞
Hopefully you fucked up a couple of them
"Up" is doing a lot of work here. But both work.
America FIRST!...well, America second, OK,OK, America third, We can be fourth, that's fine.
US Tariffs - just on the stuff normal people have to live on.
Any Brampton lemmings here? Anyone working at Roshel? Got a monkey wrench or a sabot handy?
Do US a solid, wouldja, and make sure those motherfuckers are stranded in the angry crowd, with freon streaming into the cab from the AC and oil and power steering fluid making a trail behind them.
Dude, that's best case scenario for vehicles coming out of Brampton.
And reported by the Independent… in UK
Lol
Badge says: ICE US Officer
ICEUS Officer? How do you pronunce that? I-SIS? Idk man, sounds like some islamic radical terrorist group operating withing our country...
Icky-us
Dude they could have at least contracted out to one of the big 3 car companies. Stupid
MAGA doesn't care, they'll gas light themselves into believing Canada is the 51st state, just like they think Mexico paid for a wall.
Hey, Canada is an American country, in that it's on the North American continent. This could be called America first, if you want to be obtuse about definitions,
Classic MAGA.
