So called “Indigenous Business” sold city of Hamilton made-in-China Tiny Homes for $35K each

As tiny homes arrive in Hamilton, councillors ask why city bought made-in-China units for $35K each

When City of Hamilton staff agreed to buy 40 tiny homes from a Brantford, Ont., company for a new outdoor shelter site last fall, they thought they were supporting a local, Indigenous-owned business that was one of the few capable of delivering on a short timeline.

What they didn’t know was MicroShelters was a new corporation that would go through an American company to order the tiny homes from China, staff said at a general issues committee meeting Wednesday.

“It was a very quick turnaround” to meet deadlines on the project, said Danielle Blake, the city’s manager of housing-focused street outreach.

German Political Insanity Update: Ban on “Unfiltered Opinions” Announced

“…Look, I know I owe you varied topics, and I promise to deliver on that soon. I’m working on a longer piece about the decay of Green environmentalism, and I also want to write about the strange politics of Germany as an expression of our peculiarly uniform middle-class society. But, for the moment, I just can’t tear my eyes away from the insanity that is attending our elections. The AfD is holding strong above 20% and the CDU is having trouble breaking free of 30%. The writing is on the wall: whatever Government comes out of this is going to be a godforsaken mess. Our rulers knows this too, and they are losing their minds. The collective hysteria and repressive zeal is exceeding last year’s unprecedented panic about ThE RiGHt, which is really saying something.”

Hungry and Stoned Rats Raiding Houston Police Evidence Lockers To Devour Marijuana Stash

The Houston Police Department says its methods for storing seized drugs have gone up in smoke after it was discovered that rats have been crawling through evidence lockers with a major case of the munchies and gobbling up the marijuana being stored in criminal cases.

In a recent press conference, Houston PD Chief Noe Diaz, along with Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare and Mayor John Whitmire, announced that they will be essentially doing a spring cleaning of the city’s massive evidence storage facility, destroying items that are no longer needed for cases, according to a report from ABC13 in Houston. They say the move is out of necessity – a need to make room for new evidence for active investigations and ease staffing woes.
