Because I thought there should be a topic for it instead of just posting a link in whichever mindless junk stickied topic you feel like clicking first.

For odd stories, neat things, sad things, whatever, from your town or area. Feel free to post past stories as well if they're interesting enough.

We haven't had a news story since that one woman killed her son, drove here, and threw trash bags containing her son's remains out her window.

how is the name buffalo "offensive and racist"
 
a huffington post article mentioned it but I can't find it for some reason to get the exact wording, but it was something like that the city of Buffalo comes from the bison which white people hunted to/near extinction, just like they did to native americans

There's no news articles online as of yet, but Ontario teachers have started Phase 1 of their strike. No assignment/report card comments (you'll still get a mark), no EQAO (reading/writing/math testings for Grades 3, 6, and 9) at the end of the year, and no planned tests.
They could go into full strike "if necessary".

EDIT: also there were no online news articles of this either but i witnessed the event myself while at yogurty's with my friends so i can be backed up
basically two guys robbed our local rbc, and proceeded to walk across the huge parking lot (takes well over a minute to get from the bank to the other site by walking) to their getaway car
yeah they didn't stand a chance against the police lol
 
Tornadoes sound ---ing scary

this reminds me of one time somebody used a jcb to dig a massive hole out of the wall of a nearby bank and then ran out of petrol
 
yeah it's everywhere on the news

or at it least it was
 
Maybe you guys heard about it because it was a Facebook thing, but anyway, this happened:
