The leader of the BC Green Party is calling for a boycott of Save-On-Foods and other businesses owned by B.C. billionaire Jimmy Pattison.

Emily Lowan made the call on social media Saturday following U.S. news reporting that revealed Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, is in talks to buy an Ashland, Virginia, warehouse from a Pattison-owned real estate company.

According to a letter sent by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to the Hanover County planning department, ICE plans to use the warehouse as a processing facility “in support of ICE operations.”

Allie Carpenter, a resident of nearby Richmond, Virginia, who is active in opposing the Trump administration and ICE’s aggressive deportation push, said she hopes Canadians will pressure the Jim Pattison Group to stop the sale.

Even on their deathbeds, these low life losers never fail to do the absolute worst for humanity.

I don’t believe in an afterlife, but I kind of hope pieces of garbage like this end up in the absolute worst place and suffer for eternity.

Also: boycott the companies this guy owns. Hit em where it hurts them the most: the wallet.

It would be funny if someone working release detailed photos of the current layout. Locations of pipes, wiring, and sight-lines. Which outside lines bring power in, and from which substations. Notes on any access narrow areas. Maybe suggestions about what contracts are working for the new owners. Just silly things to make the kids laugh.
