First off, Red Deer is an amazing Canadian township name. Secondly, goddamn you Canada for making it dusty in here. Emotional classic car auction stuns family of young Red Deer couple killed in motorcycle crash Spoiler An incredibly moving moment happened at a Red Deer auction this weekend. About $100,000 was raised for two young Red Deer children whose parents died in a motorcycle crash four months ago. Brent and Nicole Keryluke were killed on May 5 after the motorcycle they were driving collided with a truck near Innisfail. They were 35 and 34 years old. Their two young children, three-year-old Liam and six-year-old Arielle, are being cared for by grandparents with help from other members of the family. “They get up in the morning and both of them are smiling and laughing,” Brent’s father Ben told Global News on Monday. “When you start out happy in the morning, it helps out a lot.” On the weekend, Ben and his wife Marilyn took a 1973 Pontiac Parisienne their son had been working on to Electric Garage Auctions to sell. The family didn’t want to part with the vehicle but as Ben explained, didn’t really have a choice. Both Liam and Arielle have hearing impairments, which means some additional medical costs now and in the future. The family has been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support. Friends, family, even strangers have donated money through a GoFundMe page for the kids’ futures and then, what happened at EG Auctions on Saturday afternoon, floored them. “They basically stopped the auction, let everybody know what was happening, where the money was going to go, and then we were shocked what happened after that,” Ben Keryluke told Global News on Monday. “The car was sold for $29,000 and then was donated back. Then it was sold for $30,000 and donated back. Then it went for $20,000 and donated back again.” The special auction for Brent’s classic car lasted about 10 minutes and was captured on video. The crowd can be heard whistling and clapping throughout. Other people pledged individual donations to add to the total. “People were overwhelmed with just the generosity of people of central Alberta and the support that this family has,” explained Lyndsay Payne, co-owner of EG Auctions. “It was incredible. People were cheering, I was crying. Our auctioneer Rod had a hard time getting through it because he was crying. He was emotional. “It was unreal. I’ve never been a part of anything like that before in my life,” Payne said. The first winning bid was Rod McWilliams from Red Deer Motors, then Danny Fayad from Edmonton won the second round and Bob Bevins from Bulldog Metals won the third round, before giving the car back to the Keryluke family. “He didn’t want to be recognized for it,” Payne recalled. “He just went up to Ben personally after the auction and said, ‘You know what? I want your family to have that car so I’m giving it back to you.’ “When our auctioneer Rod announced that, the place just went wild. There was a standing ovation, people were cheering, whistling. It was wonderful.” Brent bought the car hoping to pass it on to his children when they were older. For Bevins, that made the decision a simple one. The vintage car auctioned off in Red Deer to support Brent and Nicole Keryluke’s children. Facebook: Brent Keryluke “It had way more sentimental value to that family than me owning another classic car, so I thought maybe someday, that young man will be able to drive his father’s car.” There wasn’t a dry eye in the place, Payne said. “It was wonderful… My heart was very full at the end of that.” It was incredibly moving for the Keryluke family as well. “It’s been just incredible to see the generosity of people to help a family to be able to raise the children,” Ben said. “How do you thank people for something so huge?”
Man alleged to be Toronto aquarium skinny-dipper arrested in Thunder Bay A man who made headlines on Monday when a video surfaced on social media allegedly showing him jumping into a shark-filled aquarium in the nude has been arrested, police say. Police said David Weaver, a 37-year-old Nelson, B.C. resident, was arrested in Thunder Bay on Tuesday. The video of a man swimming naked at Ripley's Aquarium in Toronto went viral Monday. The incident at the downtown Toronto aquarium happened late Friday. A detective from 14 Division told CBC Toronto they're making arrangements to transport Weaver back to Toronto. Police said Weaver was also wanted in connection with a violent assault earlier in the evening on Friday. The assault took place outside the Medieval Times attraction at Exhibition Place around 8 p.m. ET Friday, and the victim suffered serious injuries, police said. It's believed the assailant fled and headed to the aquarium, around five kilometres east. Officers were called to the popular tourist attraction two hours later. Police spokesperson Katrina Arrogante said investigators from the city's west-end 14 Division and the downtown 52 Division connected the incidents on Monday.
His skating was pretty shitty, but i figured there were gravel spots and whatever in the ice on the road. Very upright tho...bend those knees!
You're confusing the social utopia that is Canada with the derelict red hat wasteland that is the South
I was watching College Gameday (I think) one morning, and someone (maybe Louis Holth?) said something in all seriousness like, “Well, if Team A is gonna win today, they’re gonna have to score more than Team B.” I had to rewind to make sure I heard it correctly. Such a novel idea! It was hilarious. The co-anchors agreed with the guy and never broke stride. That’s been my go-to joke at sporting events ever since. Everyone loves it. Or at least that’s how it appears through my inebriated perception.
Dan Patrick and the guys on his show play this clip a lot of Trent dilfer saying "you can't lose football games in the NFL and still win" Cracks me up
They say that all the time « you will have to outscore Oklahoma in a shootout to win this game, and don’t give up touchdowns. Field goals are ok » of course 3 is better than 7 fucker. It’s fucking sports, not that complicated. They make a show out of it with a bunch of feel good stories and stupid cliche and it works. They rarely dive into the actual plays and strategies because it doesn’t appeal to most people. I would eat that shit up since I never played and love to see the breakdowns, makes me appreciate the games so much more.
This is what football is. We are football fans, which means we religiously tune in every week to watch complete retards spew banal platitudes every single minute of the broadcast. Being such a huge college football fan is just something that's hard to be proud of.
Investigation ends after photo of B.C. bear being fed Timbits linked to previous incident CTV News Vancouver IslandStaff Contact Published Thursday, October 1, 2020 10:12AM PDTLast Updated Thursday, October 1, 2020 5:41PM PDT The BC Conservation Officer Service is no longer investigating after a photo of a bear being fed a Timbit surfaced online earlier this month and was linked to a previous incident that a Victoria man had already plead guilty to: (Facebook) SHARE VICTORIA -- Update: The BC Conservation Officer Service says it is no longer investigating allegations that a Victoria man was unlawfully feeding bears Timbits in B.C. earlier this month. The conservation service says it began to investigate Randy Scott after images of a bear being fed the dessert surfaced on social media on Sept. 12. Scott had previously pleaded guilty to feeding or attempting to feed dangerous wildlife in B.C. after photos of bears being fed Timbits were shared on social media in 2017. Now, the conservation service says it has determined that the photos that were posted on social media on Sept. 12 were “related to an earlier matter that has already been dealt with through court proceedings.” The investigation is now considered concluded, says the service. When CTV News requested a statement from Scott earlier Thursday, he said: "Rules are meant to be broken."
