Wearing his seatbelt. No skid marks, no sign of braking. Hit the centre median first, then crossed into oncoming lanes, hit the curb, then a tree, then several rollovers. Described as a high speed crash. No impairment detected, was conscious on the scene. Odd that there was no sign of corrective driving (braking or skid marks) before the accident. Wonder if we will hear about him nodding off at the wheel or distracted driving?

My bet would be he nodded off, I hear he recently had back surgery, what kind of pain management is he taking and did they contribute

Spoiler

 

 

Much ado about nothing. These books do contain the offensive images but I cannot see them provoking racism. Moreover, all of these books have doubtlessly been digitized and, with the consent of Geisel, they can be seamlessly edited to be appropriate. Tis has certainly given Faux News a reason to be righteously apoplectic.  

I checked HuffPost Canada's twitter and they say nothing of this

Rogers Communications has signed a deal to buy Shaw Communications in a transaction valued at $26 billion, including debt.

Under the plan, Rogers will pay $40.50 in cash for each of Shaw's issued and outstanding class A and class B shares. Shaw's class B shares closed at $23.90 on the Toronto Stock Exchange on Friday.

As part of the transaction, the companies said Rogers will invest $2.5 billion in 5G networks over the next five years across Western Canada.

Rogers also says it will create a new $1 billion fund dedicated to connecting rural, remote and Indigenous communities across Western Canada to high-speed internet service.
