I left Trump’s America last year to teach in Canada. I didn’t expect this from Canadians During my short time here, I have encountered a shocking level of naΓ―vetΓ© about what is happening in the United States.

Jason Stanley is one of three Yale profs who left Trumpland to teach at U of T. In his first op-ed for @thestar.com, he says Canadians need to wake up and smell the fascism: www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Any administration that instantly clears one of its officers of a suspected capital crime is just begging for other trigger-happy poorly trained ICE officers to do the same.

The White House isn't protecting its officers. It's encouraging them to ignore the law. And that puts more Americans at risk.
