- Wait, there's a program that can delay sentencing for Indigenous people and search his family history? And that could result in a lighter sentence? Imagine being the family of the poor woman he killed and hearing this. (38)

Imagine being the family of the poor woman he killed and - Fuck this guy. He shit the bed, now he can lie in it. Whatever he is (Black, white, Indigenous), he made a stupid choice that cost an innocent woman her life and his kids a lifetime of struggle. Lock his ass up. I'm tired of people escaping consequences because of their family's supposed hardships. If you had elders sent to residential schools, that's not cool at all. But it doesn't mean you can do whatever you want without (37)

EN: Katie was a good friend of mine. This piece of shit can burn in hell. - That's total bullshit. What does being Indigenous have to do with the accused driving like an absolute puppet? It was his own choice, nothing to do with his DNA. His lawyer should go to jail with him. Hope he enjoys prison. (21)
EN: That is utter BS. How does being indigenous or not make a difference in the accused driving like an absolute fuck-muppet? It was a choice he made, his dna is irrelevant. His lawyers should go to jail with him. I hope he

- I'm a bit confused, do illegal pharmacies or mushroom shops sell the drugs that homeless people are freaking out on in the streets? Unless businesses are selling hard drugs, nothing will be solved. I do agree with the province and the justice department's demands, but I don't think zoning changes will touch any of the issues. (31)

Yeah, that's a magnet for drug users. Used to sit there all day playing and singing drug-user-type songs! (17)
EN: I guess getting rid of the piano in meridian square was part of the cleanup plan . Yup that was a magnet for the drug addicts. Used to sit around all day playing and singing to drug addict type songs ! - So instead of addressing homelessness and fentanyl use, we're going to shut down... mushroom dispensaries? (8)
EN: So instead of addressing the issues of homelessness and fentanyl use, we are gonna shut down... mushroom dispensaries? - Why do we need new bylaws to prevent the sale of products that are already illegal? Isn't that the police's job? Isn't the mayor a member of the police services board? Why is the mayor trying to get bylaw officers to do the police's work? (5)

- - Kensington downtown and Donaleigh's backyard - Whatever Hooligans took over, there's still a rooftop patio (Italian restaurant across from Fred Grant Square).. but last time I went, it was just my party and one other table... not sure it gets busy, and the vibe is good. - Flying Monkeys - Queen's Hotel has a bit of a tiki/tropical vibe in the summer. Edit - Canadian beer in the park (5)
EN: - Downtown Kenzington & Donaleigh's back patios - Whatever took over for Hooligans still has a rooftop patio (Italian restaurant across from Fred Grant Square).. But the last time I went there it was only my party + one - At Donaleigh's, you can enjoy local entertainment around Meridian Square. The patio above La Cocina Mexicana is a great spot, there's the old steam whistle. The old Hooligans rooftop patio is nice, but every place that's been there has been bad. It's closed again. Beer Town isn't bad. Nothing to see, but can't beat the beer menu. The Mexican place is solid. (2)
EN: Donaleigh's gives you a good view of the local entertainment around meridian square. The patio above La Cocina Mexicana where the old hooters was is a great spot. The old Hooligan's rooftop patio was good but every place

Original title:La Cle daycare at Le Source reviews?
Post summary:Hi everyone, we got a spot for our baby at La Cle daycare starting in September! I can't seem to find any reviews of the facility, so I was wondering if anyone else has sent their kids there and what their experience was like. Also, has anyone sent a non-French-speaking child there? We don't speak French at home, and I'm wondering if your child was confused when they started. Thank you!

- Our kids have been in daycare and school for a few years now. We've had a great experience - the caregivers at the daycare are wonderful and very caring. We've also had a good experience at the school, it's a nice community because it's small and French-speaking. Not sure about the daycare, but my understanding for the school is that at least one parent needs to be proficient in French. Before my daughter started kindergarten, we had to do an entrance assessment with her. The kids won't have any problems, (2)

Original title:Kayak stolen in Stayner
Post summary:My mom's kayak was recently stolen from my sister's storage unit in Stoner. The lock was broken and the whole thing was cleaned out. Unfortunately, we don't know when it happened, only that it was sometime between April 21 and May 31. Before anyone asks: my sister is renting the unit, and it's non-property, so insurance is out. No cameras, and as far as I understand, the unit owner hasn't offered help or compensation. We've all posted on Facebook and had people share. We're still
