So let me get this straight, a ten year old kid gets hit at a cross walk on his bike by a car, and there are no charges against the driver. Our police, and justice system fails vulnerable road users again. &&&%%%% Cars.
Just got some details about the ten year old kid hit in a crosswalk along Osborne last week. He’s gonna make it but needed stitches on his face and serious dental work. No charges for driver. Enraging. Clear your schedule for Thursday after school lets out, you’re gonna want to be in South Osborne.

We need to stop calling these things accidents.
This shouldn’t happen. We don’t have to accept it.

The problem has been for too long large corporations, namely oil, gas,and the big banks have strangled #Climatechange policy, hampering #climateaction. Hence, why #COP conferences,although well intentioned fail. #Cop30
Ironic, then, that this has also been a decade during which scientists realized that, if anything, they underestimated some of the threats of climate change.

There are times where are police are necessary (re: protecting the peace when you see two neighbour's fight and they ram each other with large trucks). Other times, they do things, that make you smack your head, like this one.
Or, just keep increasing their budget year after year after year while ignoring the root problems of crime instead of holding them accountable. Seems to be working great! #wpgpoli

As Trump abdicates U.S. leadership on climate change, Asia is filling the void
OPINION: The U.S. once led the charge in confronting the planet’s most pressing challenges. But today, that leadership is eroding. Nowhere is this loss more visible than in climate science.

The poor years of Valour really have made me frown on the #CanPl, even wanting a new NSL womens team here in #Winnipeg (which could happen). I still do want this to happen. But this may get me interested agsin in the #canpl again, if Valour gets their nonsense settled.
Honestly, I wouldn't watch Canadian men's soccer even if you paid me $5. But the Canadian Snow Football League, I'd watch that for all 10 months of Canadian winter! ⚽❄️

This would rank as great as Zohan's win. a former Seattle Transit Riders union leader could be their next mayor.
Many people think this race could be decided by only a handful of votes (here’s former Seattle mayor Greg Nickels). Have YOU checked to make sure that yours was counted? Check our link in bio to check on your vote with King County elections!
