Stressed threats to our Children.

Weeks before Halloween 2022, Police Agencies across North America and Canada, from the DEA, and RCMP to local Police Agencies warned parents about “rainbow fentanyl”, a new version of synthetic opioid pills made specifically for children’s use. Available in yellow, green, pink, and other bright colors, this designer substance was made to attract children and hopefully create a deeper youth market for illicit drugs. Parents were warned that these items could be planted into their children’s candy stashes, gathered during Halloween, and possibly consumed. Easily mistook for favored items such as skittles, a possible health emergency existed.
Good news everybody. Teo days have passed and according to authorities, not one report was made concerning these items being found or consumed. Did the authority’s warnings work, or was this a social media hoax? The authorities know illicit pills are being made in North America, M-30’s to be exact. The Cartels have been cooking up fentanyl in hidden labs, making painkillers in pill forms for illegal distribution and sale. The Cartels have been dying these white pills in multiple colors for various reasons. These are sold to locals requiring color identification (identify distributorship), or as a way to increase sales to children. There have been multiple cases of high schoolers dying after taking blue M-30s, likely because they did not expect fentanyl to be present.
The DEA announced this October, that brightly colored fentanyl pills have turned up in 26 States. During the present American election Republicans have weaponized the threat these pills present, claiming these drugs are being brought into America by illegal migrants. In true form, Fox News has been the main culprit weaponizing The Right’s fear of illegal migrants and the importing of illicit drugs into America. Claiming that illicit drugs can be found in skittle boxes possibly given to children during Halloween, Fox News championed the safety of America’s Children while pushing its anti-migrant agenda. This past August a dealer was caught with 15,000 colorful fentanyl pills inside a Lego Box. The purpose of colorizing the pills was given as a way to brand the product.
The death of many children seemed as bad for business, so Cartels began purposefully colorizing these pills as a way to identify what they were and what they contain. The color banding effect of attracting children was realized later. Authorities have realized that colorful gummies provided by Weed suppliers are attractive to children. Many accidental situations have occurred where a child consuming these gummies end up in the hospital or worse.
While any attempt to addict children seems unrealistic, no one has said Cartels are made up of rocket scientists either. Children have no real funds, and the piggy bank for a Cartel can be found among the children’s parents.
When in doubt, separate, investigate and throw out. Better still, pass anything you suspect to the authorities. Imagine the harm you could do to your neighborhood’s water cycle by throwing fentanyl into the sink.

The RCMP say a body that was recovered by authorities in Washington state is believed to be one of two kayakers reported missing off Vancouver Island on Saturday.
Const. Alex Bérubé said the identity of the body found on San Juan Island, just south of the border, is still to be confirmed by the coroner.
A search has been underway in the waters off Sidney, B.C., about 25 kilometres north of Victoria, since the two kayakers were reported missing.
RCMP previously said Daniel MacAlpine, 36, and Nicolas West, 26, went missing while kayaking from D’Arcy Island to View Beach on Saturday afternoon. They were in a teal blue, fibreglass, two-person kayak.
Police said members of the Central Saanich Police Department and Peninsula Emergency Measures Organization search and rescue were involved in the search, and the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre and Canadian Coast Guard were also assisting.

Prepare for multiple rounds of April snowfall this week, as Labrador braces for wintry conditions. This onslaught of snow is expected to blanket the region, potentially leading to hazardous travel conditions and disruptions throughout the week
As we march even deeper into the heart of the spring season, many parts of Canada are finding it tough to find any consistent signs of warming weather. Add to the mix periods of snow and wintry precipitation, and it’s safe to say the winter season is certainly not going out without a strong fight.
This week, parts of the East Coast will bear the brunt of the winter weather, with multiple rounds of April snowfall stacking up in Labrador. The chances for snow flurries will stick around all week long, bringing as much as 25 cm for some.
MUST SEE: Extreme pattern over Arctic produces 50+ degree temperature spread
Although 25+ cm of snow in April may seem extreme, for this part of the country, it’s definitely nothing out of the ordinary. In fact, the month as a whole brings about 40-50 cm of snow to Labrador on average.
Some communities, including Nain, even have snowfall chances stretch all the way into June!
“This week will be a little bit different however, as some regions could reach about half of Labrador’s monthly averages alone,” says Rachel Modestino, a meteorologist at The Weather Network. “The first round on Tuesday will pack quite the punch, with heavy snow and gusty winds stretching from Labrador city to the coast.”
Winds will be gusting between 70-90 km/h at times, and travel conditions will likely deteriorate quickly due to potential whiteouts and reduced visibility.
Witnesses described hearing a loud blast and seeing large plumes of black smoke on Tuesday morning as a building under construction in Halifax’s north end caught fire.
A message on Halifax’s alert system said the fire was at a building in the area of Robie and St Albans streets. About an hour later, the municipality said the fire was out.
The alert warned people who live on the peninsula to close their windows due to smoke from the fire possibly being toxic.
“Residents and businesses near the fire should still keep windows closed and air exchangers turned off until air quality conditions improve in the coming hours as a precaution,” the municipality said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Halifax Regional Police were asking people to avoid the area during what is normally a time of heavy morning traffic.
James Shaw lives nearby. He said he heard a blast around 8:20 a.m. local time.
“It shook the whole house,” Shaw said in an interview at the scene. “So I came outside … and saw this incredible building here on fire. Big black smoke. Lots of sparks and stuff going.”
Mike Clark was working on the building adjacent to the one that caught fire. He said he was on the 30th floor when the roof of the other building caught fire and propane tanks blew up.
He said construction crews were then evacuated from the building.
“The elevator was shut down and everyone went down the stairs and out the door,” he said. “Everybody on each floor has a horn to check if anybody was left in the building. Sounded the horn and walked down. It was very organized.”
