The busy pedestrian corner of Bayview Ave and Manor Rd/Fleming Cres. is getting free-standing posts for the pedestrian prompt known to traffic wonks as beg buttons. The new posts show a trail of new concrete back to the utility pole on which the lights are mounted. What’s it all mean? The Bulldog is inquiring. Saturday morning pedestrians crossing Bayview had about half the time (20 seconds) to cross as those crossing Manor/Fleming (40 seconds). The last time this corner was in the news was January 2016.

The Winnipeg Fire Department may wish to review its policy of leaving motors running during cold weather. Friday a man took one of its engines on a frightening, siren screaming ride. Then, Eaton Centre shooter Christopher Husbands has been sentenced to life in prison. It doesn’t really mean life, of course. Husbands could be free in 16 months. Below that, the perilous life of high-rise apartment tenants forced out by fire. Where to go? Finally, Drone Delivery Canada of Vaughan seems to be making a go of this problematic business by targeting rural deliveries.

The owners are asking residents on either side of South Bayview Ave.mto search their backyards and to keep an eye out for Alton, a mixed breed, microchipped pet who is in what is known as “survival mode.” FB

This CBC report suggests that the spotty supply of the cancer therapy drug tamoxifen has been caused by manufacturers leaving the market because of downward pressures on the price. It’s apparently about money. Canadian manufacturer, Apotex, told CBC it was fixing production issues. What that means is unclear. The British firm, AstraZeneca, says it expects to be able to meet all demand very soon.

Fire-ravaged apartment where the victim died

CTV says it has been told that Nam Tu Huy Vu, 57, came home to a raging fire at his eighth floor apartment at 235 Gosford Blvd Nov. 15 and plunged into the unit to save belongings. The account comes from a friend of Vu’s who witnessed the victim disappear into the blackness. The body was found after the fire was extinguished on the apartment’s balcony. “He was with me and then he ran inside. I ran outside. That is pretty much it, said the friend. “He ran back inside to grab something and that was the last time I saw him. I don’t know what exactly he was doing inside because the smoke was too thick. By the time I ran to the door and looked back I couldn’t see anything.” Many displaced by high-rise fire have no renters insurance
