Organizing works! This is a win for public pressure, and a message about the moral clarity Canadians want from politics right now.

Now we need legislation to ban all Canadian companies from contracting with ICE or otherwise supporting Trump's kidnapping and deportation machine. And Parliament must pass Jenny Kwan's bill to close the U.S. arms export loophole – so that no Canadian armoured vehicles, weapons, or equipment end up in the hands of ICE to brutalize people.

Company owned by B.C. billionaire says ICE warehouse sale ‘will not be proceeding’

A company owned by British Columbia billionaire Jimmy Pattison says it will not be selling a Virginia warehouse to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which planned to use the site as an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility.

#hootsuite is next!

From what I understand (not from BC), Jim Pattison owns brick&mortar retail businesses, which is easy for consumers to boycott.

Irina Novoselsky's Hootsuite, on the otherhand, is an international B2B software brand, and will likely take different strategies.

Who are Hootsuite's biggest clients?

Who are Hootsuite's best competitors?

Getting their clients to quit en masse seems like a good goal
