RUPERTKBD Posted June 5, 2020 Author Share Posted June 5, 2020 The city of St Catherines is honoring one of it's favorite sons: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/st-catharines-naming-lakeside-park-pavilion-after-late-rush-drummer-neil-peart/ar-BB155F6V?li=AAggXBV Quote The city of St. Catharines, Ont., is naming a local pavilion after late Rush drummer Neil Peart and considering other ways to honour his legacy. The acclaimed percussionist, who died in January at age 67, was born in Hamilton and grew up in St. Catharines. He was the primary lyricist for Rush and co-wrote the progressive-rock group's 1975 song "Lakeside Park" in honour of the region. Earlier this year, the southern Ontario city asked for submissions for a name for the pavilion at Lakeside Park in the local community of Port Dalhousie. The submissions were whittled down to two finalists — Peart's moniker, along with "Lakeside Park Pavilion." A public vote between the two suggestions determined the Neil Peart Pavilion at Lakeside Park as the favourite and city council approved the choice earlier this week. "He's a local son made good on the world stage," Port Dalhousie Counc. Bruce Williamson said in a phone interview. "For the percussionists out there, the drummers, he's a huge icon. For those of us in Port Dalhousie and St. Catharines, there's a good deal of civic pride about his accomplishments." The city said it consulted with the Peart family during the naming process for the pavilion, which has a carousel, beach and other attractions. A committee has been created to find ways to further memorialize Peart, with ideas including a plaque or bronze statue of him at his drum kit, Williamson said. The committee will comprise city councillors as well as members of the public. "Various people are offering to support some kind of a recognition for him financially," Williamson said. "Some people that had some roots here and left, and other people who are just huge Rush fans and Neil Peart fans. There are already some people who have made some generous offers." Peart is regarded as one of the greatest of drummers of all time. In the song "Lakeside Park," he wrote about youthful summer nights in the area, with "laughing rides, midway lights" and "shining stars." Peart died Jan. 7 in Santa Monica, Calif., after battling glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer. A well deserved honor..... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
189lb enforcers? Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 It doesn’t matter what side of the political fence you’re on, there’s no denying the media’s sudden change in direction, which mirrors the medical “professionals’” on protesting or gathering in groups as it relates to the virus. Media and our education systems are undeniably controlled by what fights against the Trump administration. It’s quite entertaining, really. Sad and dire, but what else can a person do after reading through a thread like this, and recognizing it’s sources, but laugh a tragic laugh? Climate, coronavirus, racism... what’s next in this political war leading up to the vote? South African politics looks like it might be a thing in the USA once the majority race is a minority via planned mass migration forts from the UN. Maybe. Maybe these white people should hold onto their guns...? Ask these people about racism.... Where are the outrage protests for these people???

RUPERTKBD Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 Sad story in Manitoba: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/1-person-dead-search-continues-for-missing-boaters-after-boat-flips-on-lake-winnipeg/ar-BB15rQFf?li=AAggNb9 Quote One person has died and a search for missing boaters is underway on Saturday after a boat capsized on the massive Lake Winnipeg at Bélair, Man. A spokesperson for STARS Air Ambulance confirmed multiple people were onboard the watercraft when it flipped in the area off the east shore of the lake's south basin. Members of the Canadian military, RCMP, fire and paramedics are taking part in the search and rescue operations that are continuing Saturday evening. A boat has been towed in and a body has been loaded onto an ambulance. One person is still missing, according to a source involved in the operation. It is unclear how many people were on the boat in total. Grieving and concerned members of family and friends are gathered at the boat launch. Fatima Khawaja says the STARS crew landed and assessed the scene but did not transport any people from the area. In an email, RCMP Cpl. Julie Courchaine said a witness on the shore saw an overturned boat and people in the water. Police responded to the call shortly after 4:30 p.m. on Saturday. RCMP and other first responders and partners are on the scene now, police said. A Hercules military plane out of Winnipeg flying overhead continues circling above, to the southwest of the boat ramp. olice on the scene declined to speak. Courchaine said RCMP will have more information to release on Sunday. The community of Bélair is located 91 kilometres northeast of Winnipeg in the Rural Municipality of Alexander.

RUPERTKBD Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 Calgary gets slammed by a thunderstorm: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/weather/topstories/calgary-homes-vehicles-destroyed-after-apocalyptic-storm-cleaning-begins/ar-BB15tro1?li=AAggNb9 Quote Cars in flooded streets, battered homes and shattered windows lay bare the power of an “apocalyptic” thunderstorm that barrelled through Calgary late Saturday night. The hardest hit area of the city was the northeast, where people woke up to mounds of hail — which varied in size from a golf ball to a baseball — and flooding in residential streets. Ward 5 Coun. George Chahal said no part of his district was spared, which sits in the northeast corner of Calgary stretching south to McKnight Boulevard and west to Deerfoot Trail. “It’s a disaster,” said Chahal. “We’ve seen significant damage to many homes throughout Ward 5. Every car that I can see that was parked on the street is a writeoff, significant hail damage to all the vehicles, a lot of overland flooding on streets and major intersections.” The northeast councillor spent Sunday morning in the community helping people assess the damage and clean their lawns and homes of debris. City road and fire crews were also in the affected areas clearing drains and roads, some of which remained impassible on Sunday due to flooding. No injuries have been reported. Hey Mother Nature.....can we give that province a break, please.....? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
