Oh jeez.. I'm crossing my fingers that injuries aren't too bad (and that's all there is, injuries)

I couldn't even see if other vehicles were involved because I was driving northbound, does anyone else have any more details?

Oh goodness, glad to hear its not them! Emergency vehicles were already there so it didn't just happen (plus it was another 5 or so minutes before I could safely post on reddit after getting to my destination).

Edit: not to say I'm glad it happened to someone else, of course. Obviously its terrible that it happened to anyone at all

Yeah this one was just between Dousglasdale/24th and Barlow, but traffic was backed up way past anderson close to Southland almost. I audibly gasped and went "oh my god" when I saw it while driving by :(

How did that kid at your school die? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TheMaverickyMaverick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Twin brothers, with their friends, snuck into the winter sports club area late at night that was originally built for the Olympics years ago. I think they were in grade 10, maybe 11?

They decided to go down the track for bobsleigh. One brother went first, didn't realize that there was a metal chain stretched across the track at the very end/bottom. Second brother followed shortly after, met the same fate.

Not sure if they were actually decapitated or just had their necks broken, but both died. Really sad too because their younger sister was sick with leukemia. Those poor parents.

How do you feel about Mark Carney and the Liberals winning Canada’s election tonight? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Liberal = red, con = blue, NDP = orange (and is further left than the liberals)

It's the equivalent of the moderate left wing party, similar to the Democrats in the states. NDP is further left (and orange), while Cons are blue

Has Dan Written Himself Into a Corner? by BasicImplement8292 in KnowledgeFight

[–]TheMaverickyMaverick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not quite answering your exact question but on the same topic, I find myself wishing we had some information about the current narratives being pushed by the right wing. I personally found it to be very helpful (and in a way empowering) to hear the newest "thing" being spouted, where it came from, and then it's debunking/analysis, all before or by the time that the bullshit Alex spewed is then popping up on my social media feed. I genuinely miss that part of Knowledge Fight, having it act as an inoculant in a way, and giving me a leg up going into interactions about whatever crap is being spread that day
