Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings all around the world
I was in the dollarstore on walker by home depot this evening. I was there with my 5 kids. We were standing in the choolate isle, where I was letting my children pick a treat. My five your old son was just standing there looking at all the options. He had his back turned to oncoming traffic. An older man comes behind him without him noticing. I was about to ask my son to let the gentleman walk by when he physical pulled on my son's sweater to move him out of the way. Then goes on to tell me that I need to control my children. His words were " control them. There yours to control. Control them!" I was so caught off guard I didn't even have a response for him. But my blood was boiling by the time I got to the check out. Was I over reacting or should I have said somethhing?
To the woman driving the white mini-van and the gentleman driving the black charger (at Central Park Athletics) in the parking lot, you were BOTH wrong. I'm the driver from behind you both. To the woman driving the mini-van, you should never just stop in the driving lane. You weren't even at one of the main entrances. You did not put on a signal or your four-ways. How were the vehicles behind you to know what you were doing? To the man in the Charger, I know the stopped van was frustrating but you shouldn't have tried to pass in the parking lot of a place that runs activities for students during March Break. To the child, that swung open the back door of the van and jumped out with your sports bag, you were lucky!! You came very close to being seriously injured this morning.
Parents, if your child is able enough to attend 'sports camps', they are able to walk the extra 25 feet that would be required if the driver actually parked in a parking spot and then let the child out of the vehicle. NEVER just stop and let your kids out in front of traffic. To all drivers, please practice patience when driving, it's March Break. Kids are running everywhere and sadly, they don't always look where they are going.
Wow, can't believe this one, " More than 400 City of Windsor managers and non-union employees are getting retroactive pay hikes that will cost municipal taxpayers $2.4 million after a commissioned study found they were falling behind their counterparts in other Ontario cities." How on earth does Windsor even rate compared to municipalities like London, Chatham-Kent, Kitchener, Greater Sudbury, Thunder Bay, Brampton and Mississauga, and the regions of Halton, Niagara, Waterloo and Durham. I'm pretty sure they are doing much better financially than Windsor. And when I read this part, "He thinks only cities outside of the GTA should be used for future comparisons." Ohhhh did you include GTA in this comparison (commissioned study)??? I totally agree GTA has more qualified staff and should make more,we don't even compare!! GTA a whole different ballgame!!! City of Windsor managers, should manage Windsor before even considering taking more tax money from us!! Seriously, go to these other places, see what's actually being done...lots, mega changes!!! Look at what Windsor has to offer compared to some of those municipalities..NADA!!! But it's ok... our unemployment rate is high (including city workers from budget cuts), most of our roads are past due for repair ( not just from this winter Drew, just a continuous quick fill, every year!!), jobs are contracted out in many fields, many areas of dispute by many taxpayers,!!! It would be great if we (Windsor) were booming like many of those other cities, we are being deprived of what our tax dollars could really do for this city!! We are faaar from booming, not even a glimpse!!! Take Kitchener and Waterloo for instance, been there? growing like crazy!!! So many changes all over those municipalities, so upbeat, non stop changes in infrastructure all over!! You should be ashamed that Windsor taxpayer money goes to such petty stuff, like Christmas lights, fixing an ice cream train or whatever it will be?? How much true revenue did or will any of that bring into Windsor? Windsor needs to be competitive, not by giving retroactive wages!! When I read this...." Mayor Drew Dilkens said council was obligated by contract to carry out the non-union salary review and was taken aback when he saw the numbers in the report." Of course he was "taken aback", I'm sure all he could see were $$dollar signs$$, like a little kid reaching into a jar of special treats!!! How much more do we have to pay now??? I like many others are getting gouged enough and not seeing the any real benefits. We'd all be "taken aback" if we received retro payback for our wasted tax dollars!!! Just my opinion, everyone has one!!!
Looking for any witnesses that were on Walker Rd around 3-4 pm on March 1. Transport truck rolled backwards into my truck and started to drive away. He is now claiming that he did not do this. I know this is a long shot but any help would be appreciated. The police are involved, I just need some help proving he rolled back into me. This was around the time that Chrysler's gets out of work for shift time. Between Somme and Grand Marais light's. Thank you in advance!!
Cops have been called twice now on 2 males 13 to 15 years of age in the 3300 block of Bliss road banging on doors, throwing stuff at cars and going car to car checking for ones that are unlocked to help themselves to whatever. They were chased back in December and also caught at Walker Homesite park inside a construction truck that had been parked overnight innocently in the lot. This most recent occurrence was in the early morning hours of March 1st where they think it's funny to harass elderly people who are not in the best health. They are being caught on video surveillance too so it will be just a matter of time. These incidents can be verified by confirmation with Windsor Police so everyone needs to keep an eye out. They normally walk from trails behind Blairwood Crescent, up Seymour Ave., and down 3300, 3400 blocks of Bliss. They definitely are from the area and we need to identify them and their parents definitely need to be made aware of what angels they're raising.
I was on the 1c bus at Parent and Tecumseh at approx 8:50pm and a young girl (18-20 yrs) was sitting and a young man approx same age stole her purse and ran right off the bus. She was sitting in front of the back doors so it was easy for him to grab it. She immediately ran after him. They were running North down Parent Ave. The bus driver contacted the police and they are looking. I am just hoping that someone knows this man or what happened. Please report it to the police. They are currently looking for him. They police will be obtaining the videos from the bus. So you will be caught! Turn yourself in!!!
Watch out for a large pothole on Tranby @ Virginia. I nearly ripped off the undercarriage of my car when it was raining...at least it's partly visible now. 311 has been notified
I woke up to this email in the middle of the night, CRA does not send anyone e- transfers EVER. It's looks very legitimate and I can see many people falling for it. I've reported it to both CRA and my email provider. Please be aware this is a SCAM!!
