An innocent woman has died after being hit on Pinebush, the same stretch of road where 4 people were hit back in December in a crosswalk. The same stretch of road that doesn’t even have sidewalks in the next block east. 100m from the roundabout that I emailed regional councillors about in October and received no reply.

I’m sick of this place and everyone who runs it.

That stock photo of the police SUV that appears with the post could, like, not be an SUV.

I'm pretty sure WRPS exclusively operates SUV cruisers these days. You all can infer what that choice says broadly about cop's egos and behaviour.

I'm not saying Dutch police are good, I have no opinion and so far, almost no experience with them...but I will say I saw police responding to something today and the four subcompact sedans were considerably less dangerous feeling than the SUVs in Kitchener.
