London Police Services say a 39-year-old woman has died from injuries she suffered during a house fire in London, Ontario, last week.

 

It's a weekend of reflection for the Christian faithful — and hunting for chocolate Easter eggs for the kids. Many public places are closed on Good Friday and Easter Sunday, but open on Easter Monday.

 

The beating of a young teen girl in a city park is raising questions about bystanders who film violent incidents but don't call the police.

 

With the safety of hospital staff and patients a growing concern across Canada, LHSC is implementing a new weapons detection system in all of its emergency departments.

 

As London police move to crack down on illegal drug use in public spaces, the operator of the city's supervised drug consumption facility is frustrated Ontario rules don't allow them to supervise the smoking of illegal and often deadly drugs, including fentanyl.

 

A man is dead after a crash between a car and a motorcycle in the city's northeast end Monday evening.

When I was staying in Toronto last year, I would bike everywhere (EVERYWHERE). Despite what many Torontonians say about biking in the city, it is actually quite good (certainly much better than London). The bike sharing service is decent.

When I had just arrived there, I was deciding whether I should get an annual pass ($120) or just pay-per-use. I decided to go with pay-per-use since I was only going to stay there for a month. I biked so much that I ended up spending $200 on the pay-per-use bike rents lol. I should have just gotten the annual pass since I will be visiting again soon.

Anyway, it is so so sad that they are trying to get rid of the biking infrastructure. It is one of the few good things in the city :(

Smooth, hard-shell seats have replaced the patterned fabric seats that riders are familiar with on the London Transit Commission (LTC) Route 12 bus. The new seats are a trial following an LTC survey that showed bus cleanliness was a key issue for Londoners.

Some businesses were affected though. The Healthy Planet in my area opened very late, when I asked the cashier why, she said it was because of the 'Microsoft thing'.

Why is it on Google Forms? There are many self-hosted form-building services. Isn't this the whole point of Lemmy? To avoid centralized services like Google Forms?

This happened far away from the campus. The victim was a Western student. The perpetrators, we don't know. edit: Although, yes, I do agree with you.

The last stretch of Sarnia road between Sleightholme and Western doesn't have a bike path. As a biker who bikes to Western very often, this is so frustrating (and scary) since I have to merge with the main traffic or if the traffic is too busy, I just ride on the sidewalk. I hope they make a bike path on that part of Sarnia road. But the article says the construction will start next year and will take at least 3 years... So I am not very optimistic.

That's the University College building, on top of the hill. :)

I rode my bike past this protest a few days ago. They were handing out candies and QR code to their Change.org petition. Please take a moment to sign this petition. :)

It is possible to commute with bike+bus but you can't really bike in winters. So you have to rely on bus only. LTC has delays more often than not, which can get really frustrating in the winters.
