Ontario to Close Majority of Injection Sites
The Story: Ontario’s Conservative Government has announced that ten of the Province’s seventeen so-called “safe injection sites” would be closed before April 2025 and that no sites will be able to operate within 200 metres of schools and daycares. Health Minister Sylvia Jones decision was made after a thorough review by the Solicitor General, working with municipal police forces, compiled damning evidence against the program. According to the review, neighbourhoods with a safe injection site had 113% higher assault reports, 76% higher break-and-enter reports, 45% higher homicide rates, and multiple other higher crime statistics.
This report comes a year after the murder of Karolina Huebner-Makurat and months after the London police reported the mass diversion of “safe supply” products on to the black market.
The Significance: For years, so-called “harm reduction” advocates have denied the growing reports of crime and community degradation from the people who live and work beside these sites. Rather than considering that their theories may be flawed, they attacked the reputations of people who just wanted a safe neighbourhood for their children. This hubris led to murders, assaults, property destruction, and ultimately this announcement.
If these advocates had had a modicum of humility, they would have realized that these problems were inevitable because of how they treat those suffering additions. Rather than being the act of a “Good Samaritan”, so-called “harm reduction” instead leaves our neighbours in the ditch and treats their lives as worthy of less dignity than other children of God. The Good Samaritan brought his neighbour out of filth and misery and restored him to health.
Today’s poor imitations would have given him hydromorphone.

Mass Bomb Threat Made Against 100 Jewish Institutions
The Story: The RCMP are investigating after at least 125 bomb threats were sent out primarily targeting Jewish institutions. The identical emails threatening mass casualties did not just stop at targeting 100 Jewish synagogues, schools, and related institutions: hospitals and malls across the country also were targeted by the terrorists hoping to place the nation in a state of fear.
Police were deployed to the targeted sites to confirm the threats were fake and members of the Jewish community stated that the attempt to damage the collective psyche of Jews in Canada was a failure.
The Significance: Antisemitic violence and attempts to terrorize the community have continued to ramp up ever since the October 7 Massacre in Israel.
This latest attempt to frighten Jewish Canadians carries another message and lesson, if people are willing to accept it. By targeting several non-Jewish hospitals and other public areas, the terrorists have shown their hand. This is about more than Jews and Israel: They hate the West. They hate the West’s Judeo-Christian heritage and values. Canadians have only to look to societies in Iran, Egypt and other now islamofascist states to see their ultimate goal. Societies where people were free, women had rights, and citizens had religious liberty, are now nothing more than Islamic dictatorships.
Anyone hoping that the Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists and their friends will simply attack the Jews and leave needs to open their eyes and realise what is truly at stake.

Quick Hit
CUPE Ontario President Refuses to Resign: CUPE Ontario President and National Vice-President Fred Hahn is refusing to resign following antisemitism accusations from inside his own Union. CUPE, a notoriously activist public sector union, has now descended into uncertainty and chaos amid the divide over the openly Anti-Israel Vice President who compared Israel’s war against Hamas to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. This is only further evidence that, perhaps, unionized workers are not getting what they pay for from their union dues.
A Truth To Consider
