On this day in 1989, an armed gunman murdered 14 women at École Polytechnique de Montréal. Another ten women and four men were injured.
The anniversary of the massacre is commemorated annually on Dec. 6 as the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.

A crossing guard was killed by the driver of a dump truck yesterday. absolutely heartbreaking.
Look at our intersections, look how hostile these are for people/children - this is what we continue to build and defend at all costs. These aren't accidents, these are results. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The environmental carnage continues.
The province is creating the Ontario Provincial Conservation Agency (OPCA) to "provide centralized leadership, efficient governance, strategic direction and oversight of all conservation authorities." Some conservation authorities will be consolidated, but the province insists no jobs will be lost.

I'd like to suggest that "the worst part" is that people are speeding in school zones and putting kids and others at risk, not that they are getting caught for doing so.
“Over the last few years, we’ve seen municipalities across the province use municipal speed cameras as nothing more than a cash grab,” says Ford. “And the worst part is: people who are issued a ticket don’t know how to fight it, or make their case."

FYI - it's been several HOURS and the judge is still reading her decision in the Hockey Canada trial.
Hollywood has people thinking a judge just stands up and says guilty or acquitted and they move on. Nope. Victims have to listen to hours of a judge smearing them in front of a packed courtroom.
