Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings all around the world
To the young man who was banking at the Windsor Family Credit Union on Dougall yesterday morning (Thursday December 17, 2020), please be more considerate and aware in the future. We all need to be a little more kind, particularly to our elderly and vulnerable neighbours. My 91 year old, legally blind, grandfather walked to the bank in order to avoid public transportation because of the risk of Covid-19. He completed his banking but was too tired to walk home. He asked the teller to order him a cab and then made his way to the only chair in the bank so that he could sit while he waited. You, an able-bodied young man, brushed past him and sat down in the chair before he could sit. My 91 year old grandfather was made to lean against the wall for the entirety of the wait. I hope you see this and I hope that next time when someone else less capable than yourself is nearby, you think more about how you can accommodate that person rather than make their life more difficult.
Spotted this used mask at the end of our front walk. Please people don't toss your used masks as they are getting a bad as Tim Hortons garbage.
On Thursday Nov 26 around 230am -250am on Caille Ave in Belle River our snowmobile trailer was stolen with 2 snowmobile inside. The trailer was just located yesterday on Rhodes drive off Central but the trailer was empty.
If anyone has any information or can help us identify this Jeep that would have a trailer hitch, possibly over sized tires, or knows anyone that has similar sled on marketplace please let us know by contacting the police.
We had a neighbour help find footage of them driving away with it and working on getting a better picture.

I have been so impressed with the way Windsor has been doing with the covid rules and keeping our numbers down, but this incident rubbed me the wrong way. I recently went to get my hair cut. Very clean and needed appointment. When l got there, l was screened. One of the questions, have you been around someone who has been around a positive covid patient. Yes l have. My daughter is a PSW worker. Well they said, we cannot cut your hair. Our owners do not want the liability, really l said? So you are not allowing any essential workers to get their haircuts? No we cannot. Their last question was - are you an essential worker. This is so unfair to all our health care workers, truck drivers, etc that have put their lives at risk to save ours and they cannot be treated to a haircut. I will have to find a new place to go.
I know this has been talked about A LOT in Windsor, but with EC row under construction I feel the need to say it again. The correct way to merge at a merge zone is to ZIPPER MERGE (take turns) from both lanes AT the merge point! Cars should not be lined up for 3 km in a straight line while drivers try to block the people attempting to do it right. There are signs that say, take turns. This means zipper merging, NOT forming a single file line. Windsor has trouble grasping this concept....but with practice I believe it can be done. So please......ZIPPER MERGE PEOPLE!
I was at Stop sign about to turn right at County 42 but was waiting for a white Ford SUV to pass by. The pick up truck behind me couldn't wait and honked his horn. Of course, I turned super slow as I was teaching my son how to drive. But then he sped up (where the turning left lane is at the airport), tried to pass me and I ended up going to the side road with gravel. Good thing , there is no ditch or I would have fallen into it with my two grown up children. Way to set an example to new drivers!!!
While at my vet's office in East Windsor, I observed a woman and a young child leaving, getting into a vehicle with 2 dogs. One dog looked to be like it could be the mother dog and the other, a puppy under a year old, maybe. The child, maybe six or seven years old had the young dog on a leash. As the back car door slid open , I was horrified to see the child yank the dog by the neck, like it was a ragdoll, stuffed animal, suitcase, that she had to get in the vehicle. Absolutely no regard for this poor young dog, poor baby actually. Please teach your children how to safely handle and behave around animals or don't get them!
I would to first off say to the lady who came through the drive thru at the McDonald's on Manning Rd., if you were already having a bad day I am sorry that you were, and if you weren't then you should be ashamed.
The debit/ credit was down and not just at this specific location, it was posted at the drive thru before entering the lane and at the door before entering the store, and yet you continued to drive through, and up to the speak where you then yelled at the employee on the other end about how "they should know if the machine is working or not for credit, and now you are stuck in a line you can't get out of" despite already being told that was not working, and being apologized too.
Well I was that person and I'm not ok with the attitude you gave me. I have dealt with rude customers before, and especially during this horrible Covid-19 situation, as I have been working since this all started.
I however can not control what an electronical device can or can not do, we were all trying our best today despite the circumstances, and you not only yelled at me but my manager too, who also did not deserve the treatment you dished out.
Life happens and some things are out of our control...this was one of them.
I had to get this off my chest. Thank you.
