There wouldn’t have had a place to play Woodie Guthrie’s “This land is your land” while it was banned on American radio.

We did that in 1812, but the treaty said to put everything back the way it was before. Something about Napoleon.
Nowadays it would be something about Putin.

Is this story getting any play outside of Canada? Cuz its cutting across all networks up here.
Mainly cuz they’re walking… into Manitoba… in the middle of the night… IN WINTER!
And they’re loosing fingers and toes… because its MANITOBA IN WINTER.

While approaching that area is very simple, refuge seekers run a high risk there of being intercepted by U.S. border patrol officers, he said.
Waitaminute.
The worry is being stopped by the American border patrol, preventing them from getting out, as opposed to the Canadian border patrol, preventing them from getting in?!
How does that make any sort of sense?
Also, yeah. I’m not surprised by the “losing digits” thing. Midnight cross-country hiking in midwinter in Manitoba sounds like a very nice way to get severe frostbite.

Yes. Because if they’re stopped by them they’ll be arrested, and likely deported. Many are refugees or on visas. Its nuts. This is a better snap shot of what is happening. Also… photos of the frostbitten hands is scary. Be warned.

The pace of this exodus to Canada spiked in October and November, before Trump became President—66 migrants skirted the border by Emerson in each month, almost what authorities used to get in a full year. The crossers tend to increase in spring. But at Welcome Place, the Winnipeg agency mandated to aid claimants with paperwork and support, staff are already pushed to the limit. They rely on donations for these services, and generosity isn’t so forthcoming when there’s chatter of “illegal” border crossings, executive director Rita Chahal says.
Well, at least there’s something that I can do something about. It doesn’t seem like there’s much, these days.
I donated, and I’ll try to spread the word further of this charity’s need for funds.
