Alleged impaired driver gives hamburger to officer instead of licence

https://www.ctvnews.ca/mobile/canada...ence-1.4211689

VICTORIA -- A Victoria police constable says officers had a "very scary" encounter with an alleged impaired driver during a roadside check.
Const. Cody Lapierre says on Twitter that the man tried to give his hamburger to the officer instead of his driver's licence.

Lapierre says the incident happened on Friday night and the man was so impaired he could not provide a breath sample.
The constable also says the driver almost struck an officer on his approach.
Police in British Columbia have stepped up roadblocks to catch drug and alcohol-impaired drivers during the holiday season.
Lapierre also says there were two other alleged impaired drivers over a two-day period in Victoria last week and both were involved in collisions.

During our roadblock tonight one impaired tried to give his hamburger to our member instead of this drivers licence. He was so impaired he could not provide a sample #roadsafety

Teen quits job at Grande Prairie Walmart with epic rant

https://edmontonjournal.com/news/loc...with-epic-rant

A Facebook video of a 17-year-old worker airing his grievances over a Grande Prairie Walmart intercom system and then quitting his job is attracting some online attention.

The “How I quit my job today” video posted to Jackson Racicot’s Facebook page at around 4 p.m. on Thursday shows him dialling into the intercom system at a Grande Prairie Walmart and addressing shoppers, associates and management in a speech that could rival Howard Beale’s famous “I’m as mad as hell” monologue from the movie Network.
“I got fed up,” Racicot said in a Friday interview, explaining he felt employees were not being treated well and others should know about it.
He said had been working in various Walmart departments for a little over a year and a half. “I don’t regret what I did, I went into this knowing what will happen,” he said.

Racicot told Postmedia that he had already secured a new job before his rant and he knew that was the way he was going to quit. He had pre-written some of what he said over the Walmart public address system.
Walmart responded in a statement Friday. “We are aware of the video circulating online and are disappointed by this incident. Respect for all individuals including our associates and customers is a core value at Walmart,” said the statement emailed to Postmedia. “We are looking into this matter and will address it internally as required.”

Rant link. NSFW audio. Duh.

'Stolen' SUV returned to owner with full tank of gas

"I think all of us have done it at one time or another ... have gotten into a vehicle and realized that this isn't my vehicle, and have climbed out before we actually drove off.

Seriously?!?! WTF?

If you can't pay enough attention to get into your own fucking car, then you have no business driving.

Well we did just legalize weed.

Hipster Nativity scene

https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/...-faithful.html

Montreal - A Nativity scene inside Canada’s largest church asks the question, what would Joseph and Mary do if Jesus were born in modern times? The answer: take a selfie and flash a peace sign.

Joseph and Mary are posing next to the baby Jesus for a selfie — presumably to boast how their child is the son of God, as opposed to all the regular babies on their friends’ social media feeds.
Next to the manger — which is topped with solar panels — are the three wise men on Segways, holding boxes that are conspicuously similar to the packages of the online retail giant, Amazon.
The innkeeper, who in the biblical account rents the manger to Joseph and his pregnant wife, is fixated on his handheld digital screen and wears headphones that would drown out news of the miraculous birth.
...
“This one doesn’t have a donkey,” Turbide said, “but it does have a cow, stamped with ‘100 per cent organic’ on its backside.”

Since 1991 the school children of Holten, Netherlands have on December 24th, placed candles on the graves of the Canadian soldiers who died liberating the town of Holten in the 2nd World War.

'Don't slam it until you've been here': Winnipeggers condemn Price is Right prize mockery

https://nationalpost.com/news/canada...-prize-mockery

Winnipeggers are pushing back against online commenters who have been mocking a recent episode of the Price is Right that featured a winter getaway to the city as one of its end-of-show grand prizes.
...
“Who in their right mind would want to come here in the winter!” one person wrote on Facebook.

"Might as well send him to Siberia” another person wrote on Twitter.

“The Price is Right must be hitting the bottom of the barrel for prizes if they’re including trips to Winnipeg lol,” read another tweet.

“How mad would you be if the first prize in your Showcase Showdown was a trip to Winnipeg?”
