My region is at almost 80 deaths per 100k.

Thunder Bay district's overdose rate was 78.8 per 100,000 people in 2021. That's four times the provincial rate of 19.2 per 100,000 people and the highest per capita in Ontario

This is pretty tame when you look at current deaths. I know my region in Nothern Ontario averages a fatal overdose every 3 days, then you have places like Vancouver where it's much worse. The entire province of BC as of 2017 was over 20 deaths per 100k population.

It's a well known fact that these are all shell companies of shell companies. Our government has sat on the Panama Papers for how many years, and have refused to do anything. They know who these companies are to send them their royalty cheques, just not who they are to get their tax money. The totals owed went from $170+ million in 2021 to $253 million in 2022.

If I was talking out of emotion, I'd be dropping F bombs like Covid did Trump followers.

You mean companies that were bought out by other shell companies, to hide their ownership.

Oil and gas have done so much damage to the planet, that all subsidies for them should have ended when their lies were made public, and yet here we are with people defending them.

Canada can go a step better and cut all oil and gas subsidies. We give them a minimum of $5 billion a year in subsidies directly, and this doesn't count all the oil and gas wells that get abandoned that the government is forced to clean up. They currently owe towns over a quarter of a billion in taxes while making record profits.

It's time for the hammer to come down on them. HARD.

Friend got Covid during the first wave. She still hasn't gotten her sense of smell or taste back. She's lost weight because food is just styrofoam.
