My uncle, Carl, badass bass player, was in Martha and the Muffins. We recently talked about how often Echo Beach has been played during the NHL playoffs & Blue Jays games this spring. Thanks to Rogers, they can afford to sue for moral rights! theglobeandmail.com/arts/music/art…

"There are clear signs across the country that the disproportional focus on harm reduction from the Trudeau era is being reconsidered. So is the argument posited by some activists that the only solution to drug encampments is more housing." nationalpost.com/opinion/derek-…

The Doug Ford knew it would be up to him, not the courts, to administer justice after the foreseeable death of Karolina Huebner-Makurat by shutting down all injection sites within 200 meters of schools & daycare facilities. Khalila will serve her hard time at Goodlife Fitness.

This Star article fails to mention that Toronto paramedic services data shows overdoses did not spike as a result of sites near schools closing, as activists had predicted. In fact, overdoses went down post-closures & are about 50% lower than last year. public.tableau.com/app/profile/tp…

You'd never know it from reading harm reduction hysteria in the Toronto Star, but the city's monthly fatal overdoses dropped by more than 50% in June to 6, the lowest number in years. And this is AFTER four injection sites were closed in March. public.tableau.com/app/profile/tp…
