You should be paying attention to what’s unfolding in Winnipeg.
As of 6pm Central- Friday, July 14 (today), the Winnipeg Police have the authority to remove blockaders at the Brady Landfill in Winnipeg. An injunction was granted to the City of Winnipeg earlier today after family members of four slain Indigenous women ,whose bodies are believed to be laying in two dumps in Winnipeg, blocked the road to the city owned Brady Landfill last week. The blockade was in response to the Province of Manitoba announcing it has no plans to search the Prairie Green Landfill following the review of a landfill search feasibility study.

Recently, I’ve heard some comments about how people should have to pay to go to the ER so that it makes them think twice about going to the ER for things that aren’t an emergency.
As an ER doctor, I want to tell you why this isn’t a solution to ER overcrowding.

I hope they do manage to ban social media for kids under 18 so I can be part of a special class of people who got exposed to it as a child like the people who grew up with leaded gasoline.
