Unfortunately, I think this actually did happen at that school.

Are these foreign investors, and what do they want with the land (if not to grow food)? 🤨
Maybe we should all be worried? 🤔

For remote communites, check in with your healthcare unit, many have travelling vans WITH the mammogram equipment in it!!
Heads up...IF you've had previous abnormalities they do prefer you book at a hospital for exams.
Luckily remote communities often are seen sooner. At least we are.

Worldwide solar and wind power generation has outpaced electricity demand this year, and for the first time on record, renewable energies combined generated more power than coal, according to a new analysis.

Renewable energy exceeds global coal power generation for the first time ever, analysis finds

Energy think tank Ember says a slight drop in global fossil fuel power marks "a turning point," as the U.S. and Europe lag behind by China and India in investment.

It looks like another teen, probably from the same school, and she was crossing the street - it looks like she waited for the girl at the end.
She’s IS a valuable eyewitness though; I hope that she also heard what he said to the victim.

It‘a shameful.
He doesn’t “condone speeding” yet refuses to say why the offender is still employed by his office, & faces no consequences. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I really do hope so!
Sometimes kids (that age) are embarrassed and might not want to make a fuss - she how fast she got up and walked away? She probably went to school all day after that! 😬

My opinion - any national anthem should be played ONLY the nation’s official or aboriginal languages - in Canada, that’s English, French, & any indigenous language.

We ask everyone outside of the car to be safe so that drivers can be dangerous.

That’s the entirety of our approach to road safety.

Not just once....but 12 times!

"at least one cabinet-assigned vehicle was recorded driving more than 50 km/h over the speed limit 12 times in the past three years."

".. implied it was just one person who racked up the speeding notifications and that they still work for the government."
