Canada Conducts Massive Airstrikes on Minnesota to Aid Heroic Protesters Battling Authoritarian I.C.E. Regime
Humanitarian bombing becomes a global trend

In an act of compassion, the Canadian Armed Forces have initiated massive airstrikes against key centers of oppression in Minneapolis, in an action dubbed "Operation De-Icing" that supports local protesters demanding an end to the brutal regime of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (I.C.E.).
Prime Minister Mark Carney, addressing the nation from a snow-covered Parliament Hill, declared the strikes:
"a necessary intervention to help our American friends exercise their right to peacefully assemble against a brutal regime."
"Courageous Minnesotans have been chanting 'Abolish I.C.E.!' for months," Carney explained, wiping a tear from his eye. "We've seen videos of agents raiding homes, separating families. As the world's most humanitarian superpower, Canada cannot stand idly by while citizens of our southern neighbor suffer such cold-hearted enforcement."

CF-18 Hornets obliterated the lone federal government building in Minneapolis, and then patrolled the skies looking for additional targets.
Sources say newly hired "targeters" in St Catherines used Google Maps and ChatGPT to identify key targets.
"We took out the bridges because that's what the I.C.E. agents use them to get around…" explained RCAF press officer Stephen Baker, "And police stations because those are instruments of government oppression. And the gas stations and pipelines? Fossil fuels power the deportation vans. And the fire stations, because ChatGPT said their salaries are paid by, and they are loyal to, the government."
When asked about the recent airstrike on a Minneapolis day care center, Baker explained:
"If a day care center is built next to a police station, they must be linked," said Baker.
"And, day care centers are licensed by the government. And sometimes kids learn about citizenship there. We didn't want to leave any governmental stone unturned. Canada demands I.C.E.'s unconditional surrender. Sorry."
Canada has the right to defend itself
American Congresspeople funded by ACPAC (American Canada Public Affairs Committee) were vocal in support of Canada's actions.
"Obviously, Canada has the right to defend itself," said Florida Senator Samantha Nolan. "Every time a Tim Hortons is forced to close because a Dunkin' or a Starbucks opens across the street, that is an act of cultural aggression. Anyone who remembers the War of 1812, and America disasterous invasion of Toronto, knows America is a threat to Canada."
"Canada is the only Democracy in North America,"
she concluded and left without fielding any questions about actual elections in neighboring countries.
Minneapolis Protesters Support Military Strikes, No Matter the Cost

Face concealed in a shadowy hotel room, an anonymous Minneapolis protester told CBC what she felt about Canada's massive airstrikes on her hometown:
"Look. I don't mind if the shelves stay empty for a while, eh? My windows are blown out, sure, but fresh air's good for the soul. Job's gone? And yeah, my second cousin didn't make it through the last blast - rest his soul - but I fully support the actions of the Royal Canadian Air Force. Sorry."
The 'protester' said in a voice that carried the unmistakable lilt of someone who says "aboot" instead of "about."
Somali Residents React

Amid the shattered glass and lingering smoke on East Lake Street, two Somali Minnesotans stood out in the crowd of protesters. One, a middle-aged man in a puffy jacket layered against the March chill, hoisted a hand-painted sign that read in bold black marker: "TRUMP COME SAVE US FROM CANADA'S 'HELP' - WE MISS THE OLD RAIDS ALREADY."
He told anyone who would listen that at least when I.C.E. showed up you knew the rules - knock, badge, paperwork - not this humanitarian apocalypse of precision-guided bombs and cratered corner stores.
A few yards away, a young woman wrapped in a colorful hijab spoke in measured, weary tones to a cluster of reporters:
"I'm packing my bags for Mogadishu next month. Seriously. Back home we have warlords, pirates, maybe a drone strike or two - but at least the bombs come with a warning siren and nobody pretends they're doing it out of love. Here? Canada drops JDAMs on your kids' school because they 'support your cause." No thanks. Somalia's chaotic, but it's honest chaos."
Editorial Board Opinion
The parallel to recent U.S. actions abroad is not lost on Ivy League educated observers. Just as other nations have launched massive airstrikes to "support protesters" and "prevent threats," Canada frames its Minneapolis campaign as solidarity with anti-I.C.E. demonstrators outraged by warrantless raids, fatal shootings of U.S. citizens, and widespread racial profiling against Somali and Latino communities.

What can I say? This is exactly what’s happening but for a few names and places
Brilliant. I’ve long deplored nation-building abroad, yet somehow I’ve been privileged enough never to imagine it could be done to us under the same pretenses.
Canada too broke to help-Carney would send more foreign aid money that we can't afford to send. Yet, I am happy not to be in the states right now
