“I didn’t see her” is the same logic as “I didn’t know my gun was loaded”
The driver had care, custody and control of a deadly instrument and killed a kid. The word we have for killing someone when you didn’t mean to is manslaughter.

My heart goes out to the family.

Don’t let your attention be lured by the siren beauty of the autumn leaves. Lest you slip upon their rotted remains and crash into rocky corners.

It’s wet leaf season again #yegbike

Am I to understand that Trump and Hegseth summoned top military brass from around the world to a single location, at great expense and security risk, so they could listen to Hegseth perform a dramatic reading of the most batshit email your MAGA uncle ever forwarded?

FOX REPORTER: “The way it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. It seemed like Putin came in and steamrolled, got right into what he wanted to say, got his photo next to the president, then left.”

Cut out the awfulness and political interference with DND’s procurement and there’s likely room for both/and.

But really, there is so much DND needs for housing, infrastructure, maintenance spares, and recruitment that most debates can be sidestepped.

This morning, russia dropped aerial bombs on a resort near Zaporizhzhia region, killing 2 people and injuring at least 12, including 2 children.

Once again, russia deliberately targets civilians, while they’re most vulnerable.

Night, as residents slept, russian forces carried out a missile strike on the city of Mykolaiv, injuring seven people.
The attack destroyed three private homes, and damaged 23 others, along with 12 apartment buildings.

Attacking sleeping civilians is the lot of cowards and scum.
