A little more than three years after Oregon voters made their state the first jurisdiction in North America to decriminalize drug possession, legislators are scrambling to write a new set of laws amid a public revolt against the state’s experiment with rapid drug policy liberalization.
Already beset with lengthy court delays, the trial of accused convoy organizers Tamara Lich and Chris Barber will now extend into March — and likely beyond — before reaching its much-anticipated conclusion.
Lawyers for Lich and Barber met earlier in January with Crown prosecutors Tim Radcliffe and Siobhain Wetscher, along with the trial’s presiding judge, Ontario Court Justice Heather Perkins-McVey, to schedule dates in March for the trial to continue.
There are few places from where you can see Russian-occupied territory with the naked eye in Ukraine.
The western bank of the Dnipro river in the city of Kherson is one of them.
You can’t see the Russian troops on the other low, marshy riverbank, but you know they’re there.
Incoming artillery fire as we arrive at an abandoned building serves as a sharp reminder.
Flippy is making burgers, Chippy is cooking french fries, and Remy is serving up salads. Customers may not even notice them, but robots are becoming more common behind the counter at fast food kitchens.
At Food Republic, a quick-service joint in Vancouver, Remy looks like a giant stainless steel box. Inside, it receives the order to portion out each salad ingredient. Cucumbers tumble down a tube into a takeout bowl, which then moves along a conveyor belt to collect the next topping.
So why are we importing bodies by the millions? To lower labour costs providing more funds for Big Business to implement AI solutions?

Qari Abdul Rauf, a former taxi driver and preacher, was one of nine men who were convicted in 2012 of sexual offences against children, including rape and trafficking.
Tim Hortons is one of Canada’s most iconic brands. It’s a place to grab a double-double, a Boston cream donut, and catch up with friends. It’s also increasingly a place to do hard drugs—at least when it comes a Tim Hortons location in the city of Oshawa, just west of Toronto, that has had to close its indoor dining because too many drug users were injecting and being violent throughout the restaurant.
“It’s the darkest part of our country happening on the site of one of the businesses that is the pride of Canada,” wrote Joe Warmington in the Toronto Sun. “The fact that a Tim Hortons has decided it’s better to not let people dine in says all we need to know about the mess we are in.”
In-N-Out Burger’s only location in Oakland is closing after the cherished fast-food joint decided it could no longer risk the safety of fed-up workers and patrons in the city plagued by recent crime.
The location will shut its doors in March — despite the burger spot turning a profit — because of the constant crime in the community, In-N-Out Chief Operating Officer Denny Warnick said in a sudden announcement over the weekend.

The federal government has announced new measures to limit and curb the abuse of Canada’s international student program.
Starting on Sept. 1, Immigration Minister Marc Miller announced Monday, the federal government will stop issuing postgraduate work permits to international students who graduate from programs provided under so-called Public College-Private Partnerships.
Furthermore, for most of the international students who are not studying in graduate schools or in a professional program such as medicine or law, their spouses will no longer receive a work permit to work in Canada.
WTF! The Liberals were letting the spouses in too?
It’s only a 2 year cap and the number of permits is being reduced to 364K, a reduction of only 35% that’s still too many as this was just a Liberal party scam to begin with.
The Democratic Socialists of America are red all over — with a financial situation so dire that some leaders are demanding job cuts and the layoff of staffers just like a corporate America entity, The Post has learned.
The DSA — which has led protests against Israel over the Jewish State’s retaliatory response to Hamas’ Oct. 7 terror attack — is deep in a seven-figure hole and desperately in need of a way to stanch the red ink, members acknowledge.

Health Minister Mark Holland says while some provinces are using private health care as a stop-gap to try to address system strains, health-care delivery must stay publicly funded.
His comments come after two doctors last week warned that the crisis in Canada’s emergency rooms has become “horrific and inhumane,” and after the Ontario Hospital Association warned last week that a “huge spike” in population and aging residents is a major challenge for provincial health-care providers.
Yea we wouldn’t want elderly people stuck in hospital hallways for a day or two as happened to my Mom.

Police were called 10 times but failed to show up, claims victim of alleged hate crime
Three people were attacked in Leicester Square, London, “for being Jewish” in the early hours of Sunday morning after they were overheard “speaking Hebrew”.
The three victims, all in their twenties, were enjoying a night out when they were attacked by a group of men.
A 28-year-old woman, Tehilla, told The Telegraph she was “physically attacked” and called the Metropolitan Police 10 times “afraid she was going to die” but that police did not attend.
Ontario’s school boards reached a flashpoint in gender identity politics in 2023, a decisive shift in the public education landscape from just a few years prior. Controversies spanned issues of LGBT library books, teacher dress codes, Pride flag displays and the contentious topic of social transition without parental consent or knowledge. Frustration over these issues (and the school boards’ frequent refusal to address them) eventually culminated in the country-wide Million March for Children protest at the end of September.
