I think you don’t understand it. These people made a choice to start using drugs and got addicted. It sucks but they made that choice.
Not sure why the rest of society needs to pay for their shitty decisions.

Meh, opioid addiction is a waste of our time. We should let them figure it out themselves. They’re all adults.
Sure, but people quit addictions all the time. Smoking is on a massive decline, drinking too. Somehow the drug that can kill you in an instant is so popular that churches are handing out kits to save them. Insanity.
It’s crazy that without these drugs these folks would all be willing to give up their life for a high.
I guess it’s not a great advertising opportunity.
Yeah it’s insane to me that these failing businesses due to lack of giving a shit will soon have their hand out for Government money and some are eager to prop them up.
Maybe actually have local news, and maybe actually generate interesting stories rather than just printing the AP wire and calling it ‘town name press’.
Well not affiliated with them in anyway. But Mullvad will take cash in an envelope for your payment with no record of who you are. Just a thought should this pass. 😂
And then VPN usage explodes just like it did in Utah.
Blackberry at their peak 20,000 staff
OpenText today 24,000 staff.
One could argue thare ar Canadian Tech companies with larger presence than BlackBerry had. It’s just not consumer level things.
Lol, how much money do you think we should give the Public School system? Is the nearing on $400k per classroom not enough? Would it magically get better at $500k? We’ve done nothing but throw money at this problem with zero results.
I wish we had school vouchers here. We somehow pay tons of cash per student and somehow have crap still falling apart.
Sounds like the town needs to run a better website and not depend on Facebook for broadcasting news…
I’m always amazed that somehow has a first world nation we have this shit. When my kids had COVID there was nothing for a fever and there were guides on how to split pills for kids.
Just use our purchasing power to import it from some other country and ignore the red tape.
But the news org provides that summary with the page to Facebook… it’s part of the Open Graph Protocol which… is for facebook. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook_Platform#Open_Graph_protocol
Lets look at the source of a CBC News story.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/covid-variant-ba-2-86-1.6943005
property=“og:description” content=“A highly mutated variant of the virus behind COVID-19 has popped up in multiple countries, but scientists aren’t yet sure whether it will fuel a fall wave of infections or simply fizzle out.”/>
So if the news companies are upset that Facebook is showing a summary… maybe stop providing a summary to facebook explicitly in your code?
I find this outrage so funny. “Hey you give me $500 for this used Timmies cup?” “No” “How dare you!”
Why would Meta / Google want to pay 250+ million dollars a year to link to news sites? Do you think they’re generating billions of dollars in revenue from those links?
I hope the situation is better over there than in Ontario. Sure day care is getting cheaper for those who have it. However there is basically no availability to the point where I have a nanny for my kids.
When the wait lists are years… what the hell is the point. Should you register before your planning on getting pregnant?
less than 1.5 litres of wine or less than 3.5 litres of beer or less than 450 millilitres of spirits per week.
The WHO considers that light? Holy crap… so if you’re drinking 2 bottles of wine yourself per week you’re a “light drinker”
The article says “Financial markets data firm Refinitiv says Telus had 108,500 workers at the end of last year.”
Why does social media have to fund journalism… they pay taxes here.
100% serious why should I care about drug addicts and criminals killing themselves? Let them.
