  • Canada can’t grow lettuce and apples? Since when? We’ve been buying BC and Ontario fruit for decades. There are backyard apple varieties developed in Saskatchewan and Manitoba that are hardy to zone 3 and 2. Lettuce can be and is grown in hothouses in winter around the Redcliff area in Alberta. (Not to mention, it’s not hard to grow in your living room under grow lights.)

    Now, off to pick some raspberries and tomatoes in my Saskatchewan back yard.

    At least two Canadian toddlers have been held in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody this year, including one who was detained for 51 days, more than double the legal detention period for migrant children in the United States, a Globe and Mail analysis of American enforcement data shows.

    The children, who are under the age of four, were both detained at a remote Texas facility that has been the subject of a legal complaint alleging inadequate access to safe drinking water, medical care and legal assistance. At the time of detention, they appear to have been accompanied by adults who were also apprehended.

    The toddlers are among 149 Canadians ranging between two and 77 years old who have been held at some point in ICE custody since January, when President Donald Trump took office and ordered an expansive immigration crackdown.
