The bill would authorize cities and counties to establish “safe consumption sites” where addicts could use illegal narcotics under supervision. Those accessing the “hygienic space supervised by trained staff” could consume pre-obtained drugs. Program staff would be trained to administer an “opioid antagonist” in the event of an overdose.
If a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, what’s a functional nuclear power station in Pickering worth?
]In the 234-year span of our Constitutional government, no president has been subjected to organized persecution after leaving office. After Richard Nixon’s resignation in 1974, his political enemies seemed poised to pursue and possibly prosecute him, but President Ford stopped such moves by granting Mr. Nixon a “…full, free, and absolute pardon…for all offenses against the United States which he has committed or may have committed…”3 Democrats never forgave Mr. Ford for depriving them of the chance to dance on Mr. Nixon’s grave.
But (as they say) that was then and this is now. Today, a year and a half after Mr. Trump’s departure, the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives is conducting a jihad against the former president via televised hearings that ignore all conventional jurisprudential norms and conventions.
With the CPC releasing Q2 financial numbers, the information regarding the CPC leadership race is quite something.
Unsurprisingly, Pierre Poilievre led with over $4 million raised.
Charest was in second with nearly $1.4 million.
Leslyn Lewis raised over $700,000.
Roman Baber raised over $500,000.
And Scott Aitchison raised just over $360,000.
But the real shock was in total donors – a number more indicative of true support in the party.
In the years following World War I, the Weimar Republic passed strict gun control laws in an attempt to comply with the Versailles Treaty of 1919 – laws that required the surrender of all guns to government.
“The laws remained in effect until 1928, when the German parliament relaxed gun restrictions and put into effect a strict firearm-licensing scheme. These licensing regulations foreshadowed Adolph Hitler’s rise to power.”
In her 2011 book, Professor of Criminal Justice Dyan McGuire wrote that “it is frequently argued that these laws, which resulted in the confiscation of weapons not belonging to supporters of the Nazis, rendered disfavoured groups like the Gypsies, Jews, homosexuals, Poles, and their potential allies defenseless.”
The ACLU reported that it had filed amicus curiae briefs in two cases before the United States Supreme Court, Students for Fair Admissions v. President and Fellows of Harvard College and Students for Fair Admissions v. University of North Carolina, both of which challenge whether or not higher education can legally consider race in its application approval process.
“Ending the consideration of race in college admissions would ignore the country’s ongoing challenge of racial inequality and threaten diversity and inclusion on campuses everywhere,” Sarah Hinger, senior staff attorney with the ACLU Racial Justice Program, said in a press release.
A Montreal mother claims police told her to take down a charity lemonade stand her kids had set up and threatened her with arrest.
Ayana Massa told Global News her two young sons, 11-year-old Ness and 8-year-old Ariel, have been selling lemonade to raise money for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada.
Biden named Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Robert Fenton as the White House National Monkeypox Response Coordinator and Dr. Demetre Daskalakis as the Deputy Coordinator.
Since May 18, the number of cases of monkeypox has gone from 1 to 5,811 in the United States. Alaska has one confirmed case. Nearly all cases are among gay men having sex with multiple partners and spreading the disease among the gay community.
Zero deaths in the US but at least we have another crisis.

With all of the protests taking place around the world these days, some people may have overlooked what’s been going on in the Netherlands. Dutch farmers there have been in open revolt since the government ordered them to slash their use of nitrogen and other fertilizers and reduce their herds of livestock, all in the name of climate change. This has led to parades of tractors tying up the highway for miles, dumping loads of fertilizer on the roads, and setting fire to bails of hay. This must have looked like a dandy idea to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau because he’s preparing to do the same thing to farmers in his country. What could possibly go wrong?
There has been much recent discussion about the Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. It found that 150,000 Indigenous children were taken from their homes and forced to attend schools that would assimilate them into the dominant culture.
It was the Canadian government that made the decision to suppress the culture of Indigenous persons, sending children to residential schools operated by the government, Catholic religious orders, and Protestant denominations.
The majority of the schools were not run by Catholics.
The growing transnational repression by the Chinese Communist Party – including the criminal harassment and intimidation of Canadians – is on the rise, and it highlights the dangers of indifference and inaction regarding such practices. Tolerance has allowed such internal repression to metastasize into external hostility, and what the Canadian Security Intelligence Service has described as the “aggressive targeting” of Canadians by Chinese intelligence services, on Canadian soil.

President Joe Biden’s Department of Energy (DOE) is emptying the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) of a crucial kind of oil that domestic refiners can easily process, which could cause oil prices to skyrocket, experts told the DCNF.
American refiners prefer medium-sour crude as they can easily process it into gasoline and other fuel products, accordingto Bloomberg. The DOE released 4.6 million barrels of medium-sour crude oil from the SPR in late July, meaning that the reserve now has more light-sweet crude than sour — 235 million barrels to 234.9 million — which could raise fuel costs, experts say.
“It is going to cause major problems down the road,” Tracy Shuchart, a partner at Intelligence Quarterly, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The last coal pits around Bexbach closed a decade ago, leaving the power plant puffing plumes of pollutants as a relic of a dying regional industry.
But now plant equipment is being repaired, contractors have come out of retirement, and manager Michael Lux is faced with a novel prospect: expanding the head count.
Days before the Capitol riot provoked a years-long effort to impeach, prosecute, and politically malign former President Donald Trump, Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney coordinated efforts to deter the very actions she now claims haunt the former president.
Cheney has blamed Trump for not ordering the National Guard to defend the Capitol complex, even though multiple sources confirm that he authorized their deployment days prior to the Jan. 6 rally at the White House and riot at the Capitol. Security officials in charge of the Capitol declined to call up troops to protect it, government records show.

“Couldn’t the scientist just lie about the test results?”
“No. No. No. No. No. No. The FDA would never accept a bribe.”
Nancy Pelosi is the highest-ranking US official to visit the self-governed island in 25 years. China warned of repercussions in a bid to prevent the visit, which is seen in Beijing as support for Taiwan’s independence.
In March, I began documenting schools across the country carrying the pornographic book, Gender Queer. The book details sexually explicit acts (e.g., oral sex) and is becoming increasingly accessible to school children. I took a screenshot of the book’s availability at a school district in Florida, Hillsborough County School District (HCSD), and saved it with the others.
This week, I decided to go back and review the schools that previously offered the book to see if it was still available, as Gender Queer has faced intense scrutiny for its provocative content. HCSD, which had Gender Queer available in March, suddenly appeared to have removed the book, with the website saying the availability was “unknown.” Another page said it that was “unavailable.”
Seeing this I thought, “Wow… maybe this district isn’t totally rotten to the core and quietly removed the book.” I hadn’t seen any media coverage about HCSD, which is the 7th largest school district in the country, removing the book. I decided to reach out to HCSD’s library team via email to get some information on the new status.
The response was quick and the HCSD Director of Public Relations, Erin Maloney, explained that Gender Queer “has not been removed” and it was simply a technical error.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spent more time in the air in July, 2022 than he did during the entire summer of 2021.
“Data collected from online flight tracker websites show Justin Trudeau spent all but 11 days of July aboard Canforce One, flying a total of 26,238 km across 20 flights, all within Canada,” said the National Post.
Can it be? At the same time that our PM preaches the evils of climate change via carbon emissions, he is Canada’s biggest individual carbon polluter?
U.S. President Joe Biden claimed on Sunday that the “Inflation Reduction Act of 2022” will not raise taxes on anyone earning less than $400,000 a year, but reports show that claim to be false.
“The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 will lower health care costs for millions of Americans,” wrote Biden on Twitter. “And, for the first time in a long time, make the largest corporations pay their fair share without any new taxes on people making under $400,000 a year.”
That claim is false, as exposed by the non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT), which showed that under the plan, taxes will increase in 2023 for everyone except those earning between $10,000 and $30,000 per year.
