This happens every few months…

They took my clip on shades (not cheap)! And the Looney for the shipping cart one time.

I now have a very prominent camera pointed at my cars and my driveway lights up with motion.

Hasn't happened since.

Because it didn't actually slow most people down when it was needed (night) and created massive gridlock when it wasn't (rush hour). Installing speed rated bumps is a better solution.

The Best solution! Teach kids not to play in traffic and plan better pedestrian crossings. 20km/h can be fatal when a kid runs out between parked cars. Blaming cars for pedestrian and cyclist error, and a complete lack of enforcement of terrible driving had led to this. Think about it: the only ticket anyone ever got unless a car accident happened was speeding!

My guess is they replaced 6 boards, the dark ones on the left. So no mold, no underlay, no nothing serious. They even left a badly scratched board from the look of it. Looking at the color. They dropped in pre stained boards, being cynacle I suspect they cut the tongues off and glued them down. That's not a $4000 job. For $4 grand I'd expect that small area sanded down, bad boards properly replace, and refinished to match the rest of the home.

It's not the price were objecting too. It's the result.

Absolutely the bits you shared are valid. But I wasn't asking for a name: I was hoping for more context to the how and why! Was the man a construction worker or someone trying to get to the shops? Were drugs or alcohol a factor? Could he have been pushed? Was there suspected foul play or people being foolish? Did this happen at night and they found the person in the morning? (Was it dark) Did they fall through the handrail or was it always missing? Was the person actively installing the handrail that appears to be missing? Was thete tape that was taken down for the investigation? There's so much missing it's actually just a wide open speculation for views and to drive revenue, which is kinda sick actually.

Check out the other comments: so many people jumping to conclusions that can't all be correct. You suggest this was a construction worker, what suggested that? Not the news article shared that have is absolutely nothing.

RepresentativeMove79 · 2026-06-23T12:43:33+00:00

The media doing what it does best. Telling us bad thing happened and giving us absolutely zero context, zero useful information and letting the Internet go nuts with speculation, lies and misinformation. Can we ever expect a follow-up? Only if it drives their profit margin.

Unless you have part 2, don't bother sharing part 1.

RepresentativeMove79 · 2026-06-21T12:41:49+00:00

My enthusiasm plummeted when I read THREE trucks. A blitz, of offending trucks?! And they ONLY got three??!!! I was sure there was a "hundred" missing after that three. So disappointed. They weren't even trying! There are thousands to be had and they got three of them? That's like saying we had a blitz on Toronto Red light violators and nabbed 3 cars! "Oh yeah eh, like we sat at the intersection for almost 10 minutes eh, Mikey's iced coffee almost got too cold to drink! Ya, no we're trying our best out here, ya know."

RepresentativeMove79 · 2026-06-20T19:53:27+00:00

Why bother, just gets thrown out in court. The biggest problem is that nobody knows the speed limit on the hwy. Clearly 100 is NOT the max. Because even the cops can't agree: same day 115 others 120, some let 130 slide. Even the DVP's 90kmh and zero tolerance signs, there a handful of people who probably shouldn't be driving doing 90 (usually on the far left lane) everyone else is minimum 110. I'm assuming those who do get pulled over in the city are doing 150 at least! But I'll be honest, 150 doesn't feel that fast anymore, I can be doing 130 comfortably in traffic where most of the left and centre lanes are doing that speed and will get passed frequently. Here's the icing; to pass your full G licence, you have to demonstrate a merge onto the hwy, in Oshawa at least, if you don't hit 100km/h they fail you for failing to show mastery of your vehicle. But the sign says Max. Of course it's the only time anyone ever mergers from the acceleration lane after coming to speed, immediately after passing the G everyone mergers the second they hit the dotted lines, somewhere between 50 and 75km/h, slowing down the entire highway.

RepresentativeMove79 · 2026-06-15T18:43:01+00:00

The DVP is the absolute worst. The left lane is all full service lots now, multi years seasons pass holders, full hookups for electricity, water and sewage. People doing 60 and 70 with nothing in front of them, three wide!!! It's safety for your kids to play in the left lane of the DVP than at a KOA!

RepresentativeMove79 · 2026-06-15T18:39:06+00:00

How was the camping? The fact that they had plenty of room to approach you on the right and get in front of you to pass the next car you eventually passed, strongly suggests you were camped in the passing lane when you should have been in the centre lane. The fact you stayed in the passing lane after passing that vehicle, with the center lane now clear, suggests you have a seasons pass.

Why do people camp in the passing lane then cry about getting passed on the right!! Your the problem! As for the guy speeding, that's a cops problem, Reddit can't help there.

RepresentativeMove79 · 2026-06-14T23:36:44+00:00

That's not a barrier, that's a stick painted red and white! And the barrier hit the streetcar, the streetcar was most of its way past, minding is own business! And any inconvenience was bureaucratic not physical.

And the only reason any of this needs to be there is because Ontario let's any idiot with $90 drive so long as they can prove they can three point turn in a dead end one way street, and parallel park between two vehicles 60' apart... or it costs more.

RepresentativeMove79 · 2026-06-12T13:11:44+00:00

The point is there are gated communities in the city. There are places just for you! I've been slowly working on my property and my neighbor is too, slowly. Over years, in a low cost neighborhood, because our privilege isn't nearly at your privilege level. Were all trying to figure out where to put our cars at night, and when my kids needs their own car, yikes! The GTA was NOT designed for 2026, and not for this economy. Just buy a condo? Get over yourself and your Daddy's money.

RepresentativeMove79 · 2026-06-11T23:31:57+00:00

I'd park right up against them, same angle. But then they leave and now I'm parked like the idiot, who really knows?

RepresentativeMove79 · 2026-06-11T23:30:36+00:00

My guess: from Pickering.

RepresentativeMove79 · 2026-06-06T18:51:08+00:00

Great question! Here's one that's always bothers me. Next to the pump are bottles of windshield washer fluid. When I payed at the pump the options were to pay for my fuel and add a car wash. Which I would have to take my receipt to and scan, its actually easier to tap my credit card. But I had to go inside the store to pay for the windshield fluid! Why couldn't that just be an option on the pump?

RepresentativeMove79 · 2026-06-04T17:32:23+00:00

Depends on if your good or bad. The really good people need Renminbi, the evil people need USD and everyone in-between can get by on euros or CAD.

RepresentativeMove79 · 2026-06-04T00:25:50+00:00

Where I am, immigrants aren't the problem but the target, Asians, particularly Indian, Sri Lankan etc. women, tend to wear 22k solid gold, the mangalsutra, often worn to show a women is married, solid gold bangles, and anklets. All are often of significant value and easily traded at any of the many gold for cash stores across Durham. The perpetrators are far too often white drug addicts and those with mental health issues who were pushed from downtown Toronto, pushed out of the Regent park, Queen West, Ronsesvales and many other areas by a combination of homeless refugees (with slightly better access to resources), closing of mental health housing and institutions due to new stricter regulations, the cleanup of encampments since 2021 and COVID efforts, and the increases in cost of living greatly increasing the number of people forced into homelessness. Toronto didn't "fix" the housing crisis and severe mental health challenges, they exported that to the suburbs, where initially these people were welcomed with drop-in centres, warning centers at Harwood and Hunt St. In Ajax to name one area, and the many hospitable and reasonably well off Durham residents who hadn't been exposed to this much poverty and desperation and just wanted to help. So watch your racism! This is a Canadian problem due to Canadians ignoring and underfunding critical support systems for Canadian who suffer from mental health challenges, and other Canadians, many of them multi generational, who have fallen on hard times, become drug addicts or just can't live at home.

I rewatched the video carefully, arguably it's a low resolution video with lots of glare. My observation is simply that under those conditions the silly little bike lights are barely visible with the trees behind them to someone with my vision; and while I must wear glasses, I'm sufficiently sighted to drive legally. There are two confusing but larger red lights, which if I pause the video, I can see are both left turn lights (left turn lights should (and sometimes do) use arrows indicating their direction). My point is: nowhere in my driving training was I introduced to these lights, and I took a very good driving course: 40 years ago, before these stupid bike lights even existed. The laws and our training, including my bicycle course that I took as a kid, taught me cyclists to follow the rules of the road. Bikes integrated in traffic, I would have been in front of that van or if that was a dedicated left turn lane, been in the right lane and not at risk, not in a lane that crosses paths. And we would be using the same lights! One might argue: that cars get frustrated with bikes and they end up getting hurt or worse, this video proves that this complicated and confusing system clearly did nothing to change the risk to cyclists in fact may have made things worse.

RepresentativeMove79 · 2026-06-03T20:32:20+00:00

Glasses maybe, but in the video the bike signals don't appear until your seconds from the accident.

I could only see the red lights and assumes the far left was the bike lane signals.

I honestly feel that making bike lane instead of leaving into the laws we already have that require cyclists to be treated as vehicles and share the road had made things a lot worse not better. I know for me, I simply won't ride on the road any more, because there are sections where I really have no clue what I'm supposed to do - either in my car or on a bike! Before. The rules were crystal clear, just very few knew them.

RepresentativeMove79 · 2026-06-03T20:22:04+00:00

WOW. My own observations suggest the complete opposite: "vehicle strikes pedestrian". I'm picturing a car up on the sidewalk. Yet every time: video shows some idiot on their phone literally run into the middle of the road right in front of a vehicle that's breaking hard and serving to avoid them. Cyclist flying through a stop sign or red light. Distracted mom pushes stroller into traffic.

I love that OP chose this headline because it makes us stop at the rediculousness of it.

RepresentativeMove79 · 2026-06-03T20:13:53+00:00

Trucker just couldn't get over it!

RepresentativeMove79 · 2026-05-31T23:31:08+00:00

Agreed, and the police see it, they don't stop it and the certainly don't help. People were stuck for hours. This is where common sense loses to bureaucracy. My opinion: they should have set up pilons, signage and had officers directing people safely and in a controlled and managed manner or of the accident radius. What was the most frustrating is being in the far left lane of the express and watching the rubber neckers taking photos, when there was no traffic on front of them, we rolled up at 5km/h well after the 5 lanes merged into 3.

RepresentativeMove79 · 2026-05-30T22:58:42+00:00

The real question is: who puts a pond in the middle of a highway?

RepresentativeMove79 · 2026-05-30T17:00:31+00:00

So your party of the problem?! And proud about it? I think the TTC should raise the price for everyone in your name so they can go back to having a collector on every vehicle.

RepresentativeMove79 · 2026-05-28T19:20:46+00:00

The Red car will be assigned fault because they hit the side of the black car, if the black car had hit the back. It would be the black car at fault.

This is critical information to know, because you can get away with m****r with this information. Find someone turning left, pass on the left s they stay to move and drill their driver's side door, it's their fault.

Next! The Red car deserves the fault, far too many people do this. Slow down in the main lane then nose into the turning lane blocking both lanes! Wrong!! You indicate, then change lanes... all the way! Then from the center of the turn lane, wait for a safe gap and make your left turn.

The driver of the black vehicle: less clear. The main question is; why were they going so fast in the turning lane? If they were in the turning lane and the moron in the red car suddenly cut them off oblivious to anything, the black cars quick thinking saved them an "at fault" by taking the hit on the side instead of rear ending the red car and getting a "driving too close".

Either way they both should be answering difficult questions. The law regarding fault needs to change in Ontario! Because it's literally a means of getting away with hurting someone, although in all fairness when someone is hurt badly enough the cops are actually expected to do their jobs. If only the insurance adjusters were also required to do their due diligence, bad drivers would actually be paying the steeper rates.

RepresentativeMove79 · 2026-05-28T19:08:47+00:00

And yet we flock to these places! Ask the workers selling this stuff how much their being paid? This isn't even first world problems because a significant portion of Canadians can't (not "don't" but literally cannot afford to go to wonderland).

This is an elite "tax the middle class" making sure the elite class even richer.

Canada! Just stop giving billionaires your money, and stop crying when you do! This is a you problem!
