When it comes to addictions, Canada is world class:

Many Canadians are addicted to drugs. In fact, the country is ranked as the second most drug-addicted country in the world.

That’s according to analysis of new data by experts at Go Smoke Free, a vaping products website, who found Canada has 2.46 cases of drug use disorders per 100 people, only behind the U.S. at 3.42 people.

Canada is also the fourth-most addicted nation for social media use, with 85.7% of the population actively engaging online.

The country also ranked fifth for sugar addiction, importing 2.7 million tonnes of the sweet stuff each year

For overall addictions, Canada ranked 15th in the world based on an index score of 56.14 out of 100.

This is so incredibly accurate that it blew my mind when I read it. I knew this was true before I read it, but reading this with my own beautiful green eyes reinforced what I, and most likely you, knew already.

Your Grandpa's Dirty Disease Is On The Rise Again:

The number of syphilis cases in the U.S. are on the rise. According to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, cases increased by nearly 80% to more than 207,000 between 2018 and 2022.

Rates increased among all age groups, including newborns, and in all regions of the country. In 2022, 3,755 cases of babies born with syphilis in the U.S. were reported, which reflects an alarming 937% increase in the past decade, the CDC said.

Expect typhus and Scarlet Fever to raise its disgusting head any day now.

We Are Financially Screwed

Although this article is about our friends in the South, what is written can easily be applied up here in the Great White North.

Nearly one in five households (19 percent) has increased their emergency savings since the beginning of the year, while almost one-third of households (32 percent) have less emergency savings now than at the start of 2023 — including 14 percent that have somewhat less savings now and 17 percent that have much less savings now than at the beginning of the year. Nearly one-third of households (30 percent) have about the same amount, and 20 percent had no emergency savings at the beginning of the year, and still have none.

If you happen to follow any mainstream news, you would look at an article like the one above and claim it's fake news. 

Everything we are being told about how robust this economy is is a lie. Nothing more, nothing less. Our collective Western economies are in free-fall and there is no making things better. That ship sailed long ago.

Our economies are finished and the gov and msm are polishing turds, trying to collect the last few dollars before the whole thing implodes.

And that's the truth. Sad as it may be, that's the truth.

Make arrangements, hoard money, buy some property if you can, and kick the system in the face every time you get a chance. The system hates your guts and wants you dead. Hate them back 50x as hard. You owe those maggots exactly nothing.

Again, they hate you.

In happier news, I'm having homemade spaghetti tonight and a French loaf. Plus, I'm going to get lit, yo.
