Meanwhile, on Deerfoot Trail in Calgary, where a dump truck was seen pushing a car sideways down the road.

The number of serious safety violations uncovered during a bypass safety blitz was alarming. In only a few hours, @ONtransport, #OPP and @lpsmediaoffice identified numerous transport trucks with defective or inoperable brakes, multiple cracked rims, insecure or shifting loads, and faulty lighting systems. Several commercial vehicles were deemed unsafe, impounded, and taken out of service. Safe vehicles. Safe drivers. Safe roads. Everyone has a role to play. #WROPP ^es ~ Le nombre d’infractions graves à la sécurité mises au jour lors d’une opération coup de poing sur les voies de contournement s’est avéré alarmant. En l’espace de quelques heures seulement, @ONtransport, #OPP et @lpsmediaoffice ont repéré de nombreux camions de transport dont les freins étaient défectueux ou hors service, dont les jantes présentaient de multiples fissures, dont le chargement n’était pas sécurisé ou se déplaçait, et dont les systèmes d’éclairage étaient défectueux. Plusieurs véhicules utilitaires ont été jugés dangereux, mis en fourrière et retirés de la circulation. Des véhicules sûrs. Des conducteurs prudents. Des routes sûres. Chacun a un rôle à jouer. #WROPP ^es

Pancake Day was invented to get rid of the animal fat. The flour was only there to carry it. For most of a thousand years Lent meant forty days without meat, and without eggs, milk, butter, lard or dripping either. The Church was thorough. So on the last day before the fast every household in England had a problem sitting in the larder: a crock of fat, a bowl of eggs and a jug of milk, all about to become forbidden. The answer was a batter that is almost entirely egg and milk, fried in as much fat as the pan would take. The day before had its own name, Collop Monday, when the last slices of bacon were fried and eaten with eggs, and the fat left in the pan was kept for the pancakes next morning. The French call the day Mardi Gras. It means Fat Tuesday, and they were not being poetic. Church bells were rung to tell the parish to start frying. The women of Olney have raced with a hot pan since 1445, because one of them is said to have heard the bell mid-pancake and run to church still holding it. So a pancake was a way of eating three animal foods at once before the priest took them away. The flour was the plate. It is now sold as a carbohydrate, shaken up from a bottle of powder and water, fried in a spray and dressed with juice from a plastic lemon. Lent used to ban everything that made a pancake worth eating. We have managed it voluntarily, all year round.

Ukraine sent at least 28 ground robots into a single assault on the Lyman axis on October 28. No Ukrainian soldier took direct part. It is the largest robot-only assault to date. 1/

Today, communities across Canada join millions around the world to celebrate Diwali, the Festival of Lights — marking the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. To all who are gathering to light diyas, share meals, and honour traditions passed down through generations: I wish you a very happy Diwali. My statement: pm.gc.ca/en/news/statements/…

While they calculate the political risk another young man has committed suicide by stepping in front of a train as his work permit was expiring. Such cruelty towards so many young people who have done nothing but want to be Canadian. @MarkJCarney @fordnation
