My son Seamus died 15 years ago today. He was killed by a careless driver in a crosswalk.
He walked at 9 months, almost as if he knew he wouldn’t have much time. His favorite thing to do was throw rocks into water. He loved the moon. He called butterflies “buddy buddies.” I miss him every day.

The feeling of joy I had reading Emma's comments, doing us proud her first day on the job 💜
A massive project is moving forward to expand Kenaston Boulevard and replace key infrastructure around it, despite some concerns it won’t have a lasting impact on the area’s traffic-snarling congestion.

Drivers are out of control
Police in Airdrie, Alberta (just north of Calgary) say this driver hit a 17-year-old girl in a marked crosswalk, got out of the vehicle, and appeared to get upset at the teenager before driving away.
They released this video and are now trying to identify the driver.

I have a lot of fond memories in this building.
Opening in 1929 as Roxy Theatre the building could seat 1000 movie goers.
After closing in the 50s the building found a new life as Roxy Lanes, opening in 1960. With 20 lanes to enjoy, it was a bustling spot for Elmwood residents.

It sounds like a pedestrian was hit at Henderson/Kimberly this morning. Hoping they're okay. Hoping J Bro will finally realize that drivers are inherently dangerous.

I really tried to be a champion of the new system, I was having so many conversations with people about why this is a good thing. You can't do more with the same budget. But the only thing Winnipeg spends money on are cops and roads.

Do I trust the Wpg transit route timetables or the official transit app or the unofficial app?
Because when my bus went from 14 minutes to non existent, then 9 minutes I did not know what to trust.
How am I supposed to reliably get to work?
