Strange animal blobs that look like human brains have been discovered in a Vancouver park. Lost Lagoon, a pond just north of the city center, contains a population of bryozoans. They live in colonies of genetically-identical individuals connected to one another, and wrapped around a wad of slime. The bryozoans' presence had either gone unnoticed until now, or may have migrated north from their former range.
The store owners try to run after the squirrel but to no avail. Even customers have been trying to help catch the chocolate bandit.
“We tried running after it, but it’s still faster. A couple times, passerbys and customers tried chasing after it with us, but once it goes up a tree, it’s game over.”
The store said it has called Animal Services but they are only concerned about lost or killed pets. - citynews
STOLEN: Crunchie ($1.80)
Nearly wintertime. We keep our door closed. But every once in a while, we open it for some fresh air or delivery - and the menace strikes. It was in the mood for toffee this time...
Boxing Day snow storm in Winnipeg, Manitoba left this behind.
Got to work and there was an insane pileup happening outside.
Accident happened at 10am on Dec 5, Beaver Hall and Viger in Montreal
The bus sliding down the hill eventually crashes into a group of four cars at the bottom. Moments later, a taxi narrowly avoided hitting the bus, but a pickup truck was not so lucky, and the bus lurched forward under the impact.
That wasn't the end of the madness.
Not even close.
Another city bus made its way down the hill, but, like most of the other vehicles on this road, it soon lost control.
That bus crashed into the truck, forcing it out of the way, and then hit the first bus still at the bottom of the hill.
A police vehicle trying to come to the rescue followed, sliding into the second city bus.
A snow plow came next, but even that truck couldn't maintain control on the slippery hill.
"Get out of the car!" someone can be heard shouting in the video as a snow plow careers towards the police vehicle.
(It eventually hit the police car.) - thespec
Sat, Nov 19, 2016. 8:20am On the Westbound 407 ETR in Ontario Canada. Have the family in the Mini Cooper, heading to London, when we come up behind this SUV.
I notice from way back that the hazards are on, so I expect to see the skinny spare tire on it. As we pull up on the left to pass it, I notice the wheel wobble moments before some bits (lug nuts and bolts) fly off, I fixate on the bits, not sure if he just ran over some rocks or gravel and see them bouncing on the road. I follow the bits with my eyes and one slams into my car (seen in the slow-mo bit at the end)
My wife is watching the whole thing, as we pass him, the sparks are flying and we could hear the grinding. Then the wheel separates from the truck, and crosses all the lanes and bounces into the centre median. Luckily it stayed in there and rolled along for some time, and did not bounce over the barrier and into oncoming traffic (I followed it in my rear view as long as I could)
The guy certainly knew something was wrong with his truck, as he had his hazard lights flashing. He took a risk to continue driving in my opinion, as people have been killed in Ontario by fly-away wheels. He is just lucky that no one was hurt by that thing.
I have ran a dashcam for a number of years now, and just a couple of weeks ago put my motorbike away for the season so thought I would mount it's dashcam in my Mini Cooper as a rear facing cam. Good idea, I am going to get a dedicated rear facing dashcam for my car now, half the crazy crap that happens out there on the road happens behind you.

TORONTO — Patrons at a Toronto pub may have done a double take on Friday night when pop star Justin Bieber sat down at the piano and played a few songs.
Fifth Pubhouse issued a news release Sunday saying Bieber wandered in alone, ordered a drink and watched the Toronto Raptors’ game.
The pub says he spied a piano and asked staff if he could play it.
According to the release, Bieber played a number of songs including the Beatles “Let it Be” and his own song “Sorry.” - torontosun

Kingston Police said the horse was actually slapped three times during Queen's homecoming. Two men and a woman were charged in connection with the slaps, police said. No one was injured.
Don't slap a police horse on the behind.
That's the lesson a young student learned in Kingston, Ont., this week, after getting hoofed by an annoyed horse for her mischievous antics.
A brief video of the incident has gone viral online, in which a girl wearing a Queen's University sweater can be seen pulling the stunt during a homecoming event. - ctvnews
