These new antidote-resistant drugs have already showed up in drug-testing done at the Sandy Hill injection site

  As he told the bank teller, he was “going back to RTC,” Corrections Canada’s regional treatment centre near Bath.

  If you’ve started to miss summer weather – bright sunshine, warm breezes, high temperatures – then you’re going to have to keep on missing it today.
  At 7:00 a.m., Environment Canada measured the temperature in Ottawa (weather is officially observed at the airport) at a downright chilly 3 C.
  Today’s high is going to be a not very summery 9 C. There’s also a chance of showers (mostly in the morning) and the rest of the day should be a mix of sun and clouds.

• King: Fix the democratic deficit at the school board

  Addressing the democratic deficit at the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board should be a top priority this municipal election. Meaningful public input and consultation is a basic expectation for parents, students and residents, but for inexplicable reasons the board has not met this basic expectation.
  A major example was the closure of Rideau High School last year. Under the closure process adopted by the board of trustees, there was a lack of full dialogue with the local community.

  Beware of pot around pets
  On Oct. 6, we were walking our two-and-a-half-year-old, 25-kg golden retriever named “Annie” near Manotick Public School, when we noticed that she had her nose down in the grass. We couldn’t see anything, but within seconds, she found something and ate it.
  About an hour later, Annie was lethargic, could not stand or focus and did not seem to recognize or respond to us: she was in an alarming state. We rushed her to the Ottawa Animal Emergency & Spe

  The province should not allow vaping products to continue to be advertised and displayed alongside the candy at convenience stores, public health advocates say.
  Several organizations asked a legislative committee studying Bill 36, Ontario’s cannabis act, to ban the display and promotion of vape products at stores.
  Bill 36 already does that, but allows the government to make exceptions in regulations. That loophole should be closed so that vaping products are treated the same way as tobacco
