Border Patrol Canada And The United States

 

Hot and Cold


The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are respective federal agencies responsible for border security, immigration enforcement and deportations.

The CBSA's activities are largely equivalent to ICE and Border Patrol.

Yet, the news aren't talking about them. And yes, until recently, they were the only major Canadian law enforcement agency without an independent civilian oversight body. 

CBSA Enforced Removals Per Year

2025: 22,500 
2024: 17,383 
2023: 15,220 
2022: 8,328 
2021: 7,513 
2020: 12,851 
2019: 11,271 


*I understand the numbers are smaller but the U.S. has a far bigger population and more people coming and going. There have been abuses noticed in the Canadian side and so finally an oversight body has been created by law. But still relatively, media has kept away from reporting about them.

You Won’t Notice AI Controlling You

 


Most people think AI is just a tool. And it is.

It's something you ask. Something that gives you answers.

But that’s the "harmless" version.

The real shift isn’t that AI gives information -- it’s that it decides for you, what feels real enough to matter.

What gets summarized.
What gets repeated.
What gets quietly pushed out of view.


And because it’s built into everyday search, news, education, and apps…

it doesn’t look like "control".
It looks like convenience.

“You don’t argue with what you never see.”

Over time, people stop noticing what they cannot see.


They only see what passes through the pipeline, those gets normalized. And they assume that’s everything.

“The most powerful filter… is the one nobody notices.”

AI is like schools, universities, the news, social media, politicians, just smarter, faster, better.

AI is indoctrinating people and its just getting started.

Pillars of Influence - Politics, Corporations and Media

 


Politicians as well as Businesses and the News are masters at a handful of things.

They are great at making money for themselves and at crafting and using pragmatic lies.

They are masters at saying what people want to hear.

They're experts in untruths and they propagate narratives because they believe the lie will yield a more "practical" or "stable" result than the literal truth. Besides, there is a saying that the people cannot handle the truth.

Pants On Fire

Lying is the politician's, corporation's and news media's art, it's their craft. It does not matter what party, what industry, what News outlet.

They lie to manage public behavior, avoid "friction" or align with their target audience's existing beliefs and biases, maintain social order, the status quo and their continued success.

Politicians, Businesses and the News Media do not have our backs, never has. Yet, people still fall for their lies, their narratives,  their campaign promises and vote the same people and their Propositions every time there are elections.

There is no cure for that.
