A word that is constantly thrown around when discussing addiction is “compassion.” Rightfully so. This is a vital consideration when treating a disease that is increasingly terrorizing the streets of Toronto and other Canadian cities. But what does compassion entail when dealing with an addict?
Former President Donald J. Trump is the only man who can end the war in Ukraine and “save the Western world” from being plunged into World War III, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán told Tucker Carlson.
Those godawful paper straws may be as bad for the environment as plastic ones — and worse for your health.
What’s next? Hollow reeds?
Newsmax host Greg Kelly dropped a real bombshell on Tuesday, declaring the existence of an audio recording that contains “incontrovertible evidence of Joe Biden’s corruption.” According to Kelly, the contents of the recording are so incriminating that they could potentially lead President Biden to withdraw from the 2024 race.
We can hope.
Canadian politicians stampeding away from policy of concealing gender transitions from parents
After years of strenuously avoiding anything that carried a whiff of opposition to LGBT rights, Canadian politicians are now stampeding away from a policy of public schools unquestionably affirming the self-described gender identity of children without informing their parents.

Burger King is being sued by unhappy customers who claim its flagship Whopper burger is too small.
Customers in a proposed US class action have accused Burger King of false advertising, saying pictures of its best-selling fast-food item make it look bigger than it actually is.
The case claims pictures portray the burger with ingredients that “overflow over the bun,” making it appear 35pc larger and containing more than double the meat actually served.
The federal Liberals are seeing a dive in popularity among younger voters, once the core of their base, falling 23 points behind the Conservatives by the end of August, according to new polling from Nanos Research.

That’s a harsh lesson. Kids supported Junior and watched their economic future turn to ashes.
A fight over a school curriculum has made strange bedfellows of Muslims, Christians, and Latter-Day Saints.
On Thursday, a Maryland district court sent a clear message to parents at Montgomery County Public Schools: you don’t get a say in what your kids read at school.
Or more specifically, as the court concluded, a parent’s right to opt out of a public school curriculum that “conflicts with their religious views is not a fundamental right.”
Having banned some single-use plastics of convenience (straws, cutlery, etc.), the Trudeau government has turned its sights on plastics of necessity, including plastic films to keep foods isolated from contamination, protect them from pests and destructive oxidation, and help keep them cold, which is critical to preventing microbial contamination and spoilage.
This is a major turning point in the Trudeau government’s war on plastics, which incidentally fails on economic and environmental grounds. Even if its “Zero Plastic Waste by 2030” program was to work, it would prevent a paltry increase from 0.02-0.03% to 0.023-0.033% of global plastic pollution, an undetectable reduction of three-thousandths of 1% by the government’s own admission.
Professor Avi Loeb says unusual meteoroid, named IM1, left interstellar metals in the Pacific Ocean
A controversial Harvard astrophysicist claims to have found material that “originated from outside the solar system” for the first time in history.
Professor Avi Loeb recovered fragments from the Pacific Ocean in June to determine whether they could prove an extraterrestrial artefact crashed there in 2014.
He has now provoked condemnation from peers for claiming that an early analysis suggests the deep sea discovery may have an “extraterrestrial” origin and could be proof of higher intelligence.
Amid talk of a cap on international students due to the housing crisis, Universities Canada says there’s no need for any such limit.
Canada currently has 800,000 student permit holders and several federal ministers have hinted that the number be capped in the future to ease housing demand.
They love the money foreign students bring, pays for all those fat salaries.
Off the cuff comments by Pope Francis lauding Russia’s former status as a “great imperial power” have drawn condemnation from Kyiv, elicited praise from Moscow and prompted the Vatican to deny that Francis supports the invasion of Ukraine.
During a live video address on Friday to young Catholics meeting in St Petersburg, Francis delivered a prepared speech in which he encouraged his audience to be “artisans of peace”.
Another 198 British Columbians died from toxic drugs in July, according to data released Tuesday by the B.C. Coroners Service, bringing the death toll in the first seven months of the year to 1,455.
The coroners service said the 1,455 deaths from January to July are the most ever reported in the first seven months of the year since a public health emergency over drug poisoning deaths in the province was declared in 2016.

Canada could be sitting on the biggest housing bubble of all time, a strategist says, and once it bursts the nation could be propelled into a deeper recession than economists have originally forecast.
Phillip Colmar, managing partner and global strategist at research firm MRB Partners — which has offices in Montreal, New York, and London, U.K. — has analyzed housing bubbles across the globe and flagged Canada as potentially having the most concerning one.
