5. Local Crime Spike Tied to Boost in BTL Trade
Seattle has seen a rise in street crime linked to the illegal BTL (Better Than Life) trade.

Authorities warn that the effects of these new chips are more dangerous than previous versions, with users often experiencing violent psychotic breaks.
6. Edmonton Experiences Energy Shortage Amid Cold Snap

Government officials are working to restore supply ahead of the upcoming Halo concert, which could place further stress on the grid.
