Literally shaking watching this. I’ve been here. Almost exact same scenario and how it went down. Thankful for @HaltonPolice officers who responded. Holiday Season is approaching. If you’re struggling PLEASE SEEK HELP. It there if you need it.
Men can be close—very close, like brothers, and even closer than brothers.
Deep down, all men long for this brotherhood.
It's because we need each other. We need other men who get it.
We were not meant to fight this fight alone.
@lawandchocolate Paramedic here. I can confirm and honestly say that without alcohol I’d be out of a job because easily 80% of calls or more are alcohol related.
Today, on Vimy Ridge Day, we remember and honor the valor and sacrifice of the Canadians who fought at Vimy Ridge, along with all those who served during the First World War, to protect and uphold the ideals of the peace and freedoms that we value and enjoy today.
@EscottStacey @OPP_HSD You should call this info in to @OPP_HSD via their non-emergency line if you haven’t already. Will no doubt be helpful in their investigation.
After 46 yrs of service, Joe is retiring!

Today we pause and remember the service and sacrifice of Corporal Nathan Cirillo, killed 9 years ago while standing sentry at the National War Memorial, and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent who was run down two days before the Parliament Hill shootings. We will remember them.
As children return to school this week, please be cautious when driving in school zones and around school buses. Remember: “If you see red lights flashing, don’t be passing!”.
Have a safe and happy school year, everyone! #BackToSchool
Today in 1971, The Hilarious House of Frightenstein debuted on CHCH-TV. It aired for one nine-month season, with 130 episodes (and years in reruns).
Let's learn about this very unique children's show that is still beloved to this day!
The idea came about with Riff Markowitz having an idea for the show and inviting a group of friends to a dinner party to brainstorm at the Windsor Arms Hotel in Toronto.
The idea for The Hilarious House of Frightenstein was approved by the station, who hoped to reach the Toronto market with it.
Vincent Price was brought on to do introductions to the various segments as he wanted to do a children's show. He filmed all 400 of his segments in four days for $13,000.
In Canada it aired after-school or on weekend mornings, with it aimed to children.
The United States aired it in a late-night slot and aimed it towards college students. In some American markets, it outdrew The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson in the college demographic.
Each episode was structured around a narrative of Count Frightenstein attempting to revive Brucie J. Monster, with various unrelated bits from the castle filling out the show.
Count Frightenstein was played by Billy Van, while Igor was played by Fishka Rais.
Billy Van played nearly every character on the show including The Count, Grizelda The Ghastly Gourmet, The Wolfman and many more.
Other characters included The Grammar Slammar, The Professor, Grizelda, Bwana Clyde Batty. There were also three puppets named Harvey Wallbanger, Gronk and Bammer.
Julius Sumner Miller played The Professor and filmed all his segments within the summer.
Mike Myers has listed the show as one that played an informative influence on his comedy.
