SEND MORE NEEDLES

They appear to be working.

With the number available as of Monday, Saskatchewan may have hit another record for drug overdose deaths in 2023 — potentially putting the tally at eight of the last nine years in which the province has hit a record.

The current numbers go up to Dec. 31, and show 291 confirmed drug overdose deaths in 2023, with another 193 suspected.

If all of those suspected deaths are confirmed, that would put the province at 484 overdose deaths, which would beat the current record of 404 from 2021. Even if half the suspected deaths are confirmed, that would still put the number of deaths in 2023 above the total reported in 2022, when there were 356.

EUGYPPIUS- 69% of Germans Support the Farmers’ Protest

You might think that this would encourage the press to moderate their ongoing smear campaign, but that would be wrong. Der Spiegel, a consistent pioneer in journalistic dishonesty, today has this dubious item drawing an ominous historical analogy with the Landvolkbewegung, or Rural People’s Movement, from the Weimar Republic:

EUGYPPIUS- The Great German Farmer Protests Have Begun

First came the farmers’ protests in the Netherlands, then the Freedom Convoy in Canada. Now the farm protests have reached Germany.

BREAKING: Gunmen storm TV channel in Ecuador taking hostages

And now more via @stillgray”: Reports of a mass shooting at the University of Guayaquil in Ecuador as sicarios show up on campus.

There’s now video of executions taking place, I won’t link it.

Update, from National Post;

Ecuador has been rocked by a series of attacks, including the abductions of several police officers, in the wake of a powerful gang leader’s apparent escape from prison Sunday. President Daniel Noboa said Monday that he would declare a national state of emergency, a measure that lets authorities suspend people’s rights and mobilize the military in places like prisons.

Shortly after the gunmen stormed the TV station, Noboa issued another decree designating 20 drug trafficking gangs operating in the country as terrorist groups and authorizing Ecuador’s military to “neutralize” these groups within the bounds of international humanitarian law.

Ecuador’s national police chief announced a short time later that authorities had arrested all the masked intruders. Police commander Cesar Zapata told the TV channel Teleamazonas that officers seized the guns and explosives the gunmen had with them. He didn’t say how many people were arrested.

“This is an act that should be considered as a terrorist act,” Zapata said.

The government has not said how many attacks have taken place since they announced that Los Choneros gang leader Adolfo Macias, alias “Fito,” was discovered missing from his cell in a low security prison on Sunday. He was scheduled to be transferred to a maximum security facility that day.

Our Chinese-Installed Government In Ottawa

Dan Knight;

Let’s start with the laughable irony of the Liberal government’s latest bureaucratic endeavor – a registry on plastics. Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault, in a tweet as tone-deaf as it is revealing, boasted about this registry saving Canadians money and creating a “more circular economy.” But when has expanding bureaucracy ever led to cost savings for the common man? This move reeks of hypocrisy and misplaced priorities. While Guilbeault and his colleagues pat themselves on the back for such trivial pursuits, they blatantly ignore the elephant in the room – foreign interference in Canada’s democracy.

Meanwhile, as this farce unfolds, genuine threats to our democracy are being swept under the rug. Blacklock’s Reporter reveals a startling truth: Attorney General Arif Virani has dismissed all-party demands to unmask agents of foreign influence. The Commons committee’s call for a registry of these agents is buried until after the next election. Why the delay? Could it be that the Liberals, embroiled in their own scandalous dance, find it convenient to postpone addressing these threats?

Seven days in a row, wind went to zero in Saskatchewan

UPDATED: For seven days in a row, SaskPower saw wind generation hit zero for part of the day

The story originally said five days. SaskPower got back to me and noted the streak continued Jan. 7 and 8 as well. So that’s a whole week with wind flatlining. Total, complete flatline for part of the day, each day. How do you power the hospital my wife is an ER nurse at with zero power? Inquiring minds would like to know?

If vaccine side effects are as rare as they are supposed to be, what’s the holdup when it comes to compensation?

Both men were approved for compensation through the federally-funded Vaccine Injury Support Program and have received payments, including ongoing monthly support as neither can work.

“I’ve been waiting for almost a year to hear whether my physical therapy will be covered,” he said.

Scholefield said he submitted his expenses almost a year ago and is still owed about $40,000. Wightman said he sent in expenses about 10 weeks ago and is yet to receive almost $30,000 in repayment.

Transgender Is A Stalking Horse For The Normalization Of Pedophilia

Internet Safety Tip: If you’re drawn to a website called “Eunuch Maker”, don’t say you weren’t warned.

A former queer activist from Norway has pleaded guilty in a London court after carrying out castrations and livestreaming the footage as pornography to a paying audience over a span of six years. Marius Gustavson, 46, uploaded recordings of the illicit surgeries to his ‘Eunuch Maker’ website, netting up to £200,000 from subscribers.[…]

Separately, Gustavson also pleaded guilty to making and distributing two indecent videos of a child between January 2017 and January 2020.
