In a revealing piece from the Wall Street Journal, President Donald Trump questioned Elon Musk's sincerity about cutting $1 trillion from federal spending with the DOGE initiative. Ultimately, Musk managed a mere $170 billion reduction amid a tumultuous relationship marked by misunderstandings and Trump's skepticism of Musk's eccentricities. Amid personal struggles, Musk's diminished support for Trump raises questions about their future collaboration.

Canadian principals are spending more time managing #SubstanceUse in schools: study | Globalnews.ca https://globalnews.ca/news/11050803/canadian-principals-time-managing-substance-use-schools-study/ “We’ve got decades now of research that shows that those types of approaches that are punitive in nature are not only ineffective, but can cause harms,” Jenkins said.
“They can cause disengagement from school. They’re associated with a greater likelihood of substance use, problematic substance use later in life.”

A new Canadian study presents some disturbing findings about substance use and the drivers we have to share the road with. 70% of drivers treated in Atlantic Canadian trauma centres tested positive for substance use, and over a third tested positive for polysubstance use. Both figures higher than the rest of Canada (54% and 21% respectively).

Talking Back to the Drug War
I wrote this two weeks ago on my first day of sobriety from my primary trouble substances. I detail more of that story in my previous post Unicorn Hunting. I present this as a stream-of-consciousness regarding my thoughts on that first day. I have since begun attending substance use support meetings, recognizing this as a problem I cannot and should not handle alone.

Unicorn Hunting
I’ve been hunting unicorns lately. This particular one I’ve been on the hunt for since last Autumn, when I found myself in search of something I feared didn’t exist: non-stigmatizing support for people with substance use coping issues that wasn’t based on the 12 Steps. Emphasis on “no 12 Steps” and “non-stigmatizing”. Making that combination a requirement for any support program I might seek to utilize made my search extraordinarily difficult.
