Canadian/American lives in the prairies but my heart is in the land of enchantment. FYI I don't read or respond to DMs so just don't!!!
Which is why it really pisses me off that CBC is running ads for these dangerous apps during the Olympics. I personally think the CRTC should ban them, just like tobacco advertising!!!
I see no reason not to look at the online gambling and prediction market craze as a new opioids crisis.
It will wreak havoc on lower-income Americans and leave a trail of destruction and despair in its wake.
The companies are just Purdue Pharma 2.0

Weird statement for a South African immigrant to make.
It's also part of a very direct negation of the latest stupid tweet by Musk: people have given so much, two of them their lives, to defend a multicultural city and the rights of people not exactly like them. And that multiculturalism is American culture.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Increased mental health and addiction treatment would be a better way to spend money. If the USA was serious about stopping fentanyl imports.

Canada could remove 5 times its annual carbon emissions by planting trees on edge of boreal forest, study finds
Planting trees on 6.4 million hectares of northern taiga forest could remove 3.9 gigatons of CO2 by 2100 — five times Canada's annual emissions.

So the DOD started laser testing because they believed party balloons were drones, shut down all of El Paso airspace, and blamed it on Mexican cartels?

Bondi will look so good in orange.
Bondi: He didn't even know Chase Mulligan was. He is a defendant in your own district who preyed on girls.

Like I said earlier the the USA Federal govt are domestic terrorists.
This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.
