Re: B.C. NDP still dodging tough questions even as it announces new limits on safer-supply drugs Since 2020, B.C. has been running what amounts to a province-wide experiment — giving out prescription opioids like hydromorphone under the banner of “safer supply.” The goal was to save lives, which we all support.

To the surprise of probably no one, Toronto was yet again called out for its terrible traffic in a new global traffic ranking.The 2025 Global Traffic Scorecard by Inrix ranked the world's worst cities for traffic congestion. Toronto made the list but – fortunately? – it's not as high as you think.According to the report, Toronto took the 34th spot, which could be worse but could also be better.
