Ontario supervised consumption site implores government not to shut them down

The Kensington Market Overdose Prevention Site, run by Neighbourhood Group Community Services in Toronto, is one of 10 sites across the province that will be forced to close before next April because they’re located close to either a school or a daycare centre.

“I was surprised about the entire announcement,” Sinclair, CEO of Neighbourhood Group Community Services, told Global News. “They didn’t talk to us in advance. They didn’t contact us before or since or after.”

Why does a publicly funded drug haven need a CEO?

I guess the Rent Seeking business must be good.

‘Joy’ Time Is Over, Time for News on Substance

It’s blatantly obvious that since Donald Trump was almost assassinated and Joe Biden was successfully forced out of the race, the Democrat tone-setters decided to downplay their incessant Threat to Democracy talk and switch to Joyful Warriors talk. The volume of that theme was turned up dramatically for the Democrat convention in Chicago.

“Joy” is a better spin – even if the Biden-Harris team hasn’t exactly given us reason to be joyful about the state of the country, with higher prices for everything and a massive influx of illegal immigration, swamping our spending systems to support them.

The sudden rise of temporary foreign workers in entry-level office jobs … But The Great Replacement That’s A Conspiracy!

Temporary foreign workers are no longer a rare presence in entry-level office roles.

Last year, employers were approved to hire more than 3,500 administrative assistants via the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, up from just 112 of those roles approved in 2016, according to figures published by the federal government. In addition, companies were authorized to hire nearly 2,000 administrative officers in 2023. (The TFW program accounts for a small share of foreign labour in Canada, so it’s likely that other pathways are being tapped for admin workers, too.)

What a scam, Trudeau and his cronies are working to alter Canada’s demographic so the Liberals can harvest votes and the corporate welfare class can profit by destroying the value of labour.

PBS’s Failed Attempt to Cook Up a New Trump Scandal Shows Again How the Media is Worse Than Useless

In Bob Dylan’s criminally overlooked 2003 cinematic masterpiece, “Masked and Anonymous,” a newspaper editor tells a reporter: “I will tell you this, there is a story there… Make something out of it. And if you can’t do that, sir, then — make it up!” It’s advice that actual journalists today all too often follow. Sometimes, however, they get caught, as PBS just was.

Library workers punched, spat on: Security incidents on the rise in public libraries, data show

Once seen as oases of calm and quiet, libraries across Canada are becoming increasingly chaotic – even dangerous – with staff often ending up on the front lines of crisis.

Data obtained by CBC News shows there’s been a dramatic rise in recent years in the number of security incidents — things like physical assaults, suspected overdoses, and thefts — at public libraries in Canada’s major cities.

Public libraries in Toronto are just another form of homeless shelter like the TTC.

Of course if they’re hosting Drag Queen Story hour I don’t care what the homies do.

Elon Musk cut down 500,000 trees at Tesla’s German gigafactory

Elon Musk’s Tesla felled half a million trees in order to build his giant Berlin electric car factory, satellite analysis shows.

Imaging from environmental intelligence firm Kayrros suggested around 329 hectares of local woodland were felled between March 2020 and May 2023 to expand the plant. This is equivalent to around 500,000 trees.

Work on the plant, which has capacity to produce 500,000 electric vehicles each year, began in 2020 and it officially opened in 2022. It is Tesla’s only so-called “gigafactory” in Europe.

Cowardly Hamas terror chief stalls cease-fire deal with ‘don’t kill me’ demand

Yahya Sinwar, the new head of Hamas, tossed yet another wrench into Gaza cease-fire talks with an rumored demand for a “don’t kill me” clause in any deal with Israel.

The mastermind of the Oct. 7 atrocities reportedly wants Jerusalem to guarantee his safety — permanently.

Never mind his years of tough talk that it would be an honor to die fighting Israel, nor his opposition to any cease-fire before his recent rise to head the terror group.

Kelly McParland: Trudeau Liberals have a Biden problem, but lack a Pelosi to press the case

A month after kicking him down the White House stairs, Democrats welcomed Joe Biden to the stage of their Chicago convention, the better to profess how much they well and truly love him.

“We started out … with President Biden, who we all love, we all adore, we look forward to seeing him tonight,” convention chairperson Minyon Moore burbled Monday, the first day of the Democrat gathering, as delegates and party elders waited for the sitting president to speak his piece and get it done with.

How Swedish gangs are exporting young contract killers across Scandinavia

Crime bosses are behind a wave of youths being hired for attacks in Denmark and Norway, with fears the trend could spread further

When the Oresund Bridge across the strait between Denmark and Sweden opened in 2,000 it was hailed as a symbol of Nordic comity and the gradual evaporation of Europe’s internal borders.

It spawned an immensely popular crime drama, The Bridge, in which the icy Swedish detective Saga Noren and Martin Rohde, her more emotionally intelligent Danish counterpart, combine the stronger points of their respective national stereotypes.

LILLEY: Toronto City Hall rolls out the open borders welcome mat

Forget just being a sanctuary city, Toronto is now officially advocating for citizenship for all illegal immigrants.

Sorry, let me put that in the terms that our better thans at City Hall would find acceptable – undocumented residents.

It’s just a fancy way to say that someone came here, or stayed here, against the rules.
