Melanie Knutson was out for her regular walk around the neighbourhood when she spotted a mother duck and a group of ducklings.

Gregory Robottom with four ducklings rescued from a Calgary storm drain. CALGARY -- Four ducklings were reunited with their mother Tuesday morning thanks to the quick action of a Calgary couple.

Knutson raced home to call 311 and found her partner, Gregory Robottom, was also there, having returned home after forgotting some tools for work. Using an equipment case as a carrier, the pair managed to corral three of the ducklings, but the fourth scooted further into a pipe. "Then an older couple that live around the corner said 'she went that way,' and further down the alley was mom with four ."

The armour-plated blue line in Brandon, Man. - Macleans.caThe growing militarization of police—from SWAT teams to so-called ‘rescue’ vehicles—is under scrutiny Yes lets start sending in social workers to de-escalate and negotiate with active shooters cause its 2020 and we’re woke 🤪 It sounds like the Liberal/left and complicit MSM want the police to be over-powered. You want reform as to HOW they do their jobs or what additional resources/training are needed? Fine. However, that is a different conversation. This equipment costs millions and, while we ALL want Police to be safe, the increased militarization in both vehicles & equipment is ridiculous! This is to fight your own population as you are NOT going to war!
