Yes, I do think Canadians here on visas should be able to participate in discussions regarding tariffs: odds are they have something that WE NEED TO HEAR! Why is your default assumption that anything students or visitors from other countries say is "replete with lies and distortions"? Do you want to live under a monarchy, with only the word of the US government-du-jour permitted to be heard, with anything else considered false? How do you define something as "contrary to the interests of the United States?" I've lived through the US government lying about Iran, Guatemala, Vietnam, Chile, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine, and yes, Palestine/Israel. If your default position isn't that our government is lying to us, then you definitely haven't been paying attention. And even if you still want students deported on the grounds of speech, do you think it proper for a squad of masked, armed officers to snatch that student off the street, a YEAR after a published piece, and haul her a thousand miles away to jail? What is the point of that, other than to spread terror akin to that of US-backed death squads in El Salvador or Argentina? Ask yourself this, and think hard before you answer: are you a citizen, or are you a subject?
