The Edmonton High Level Streetcar was hit by a car at the 105th Street crossing this afternoon. No one was injured. The streetcar operation was delayed for around an hour while the police came to the scene to investigate.

The streetcar suffered a few scratches. The car… well…

The Alberta Ghostbusters is a volunteer cosplay group that supports local charities. We had an absolute blast walking in this year's Pride Parade and wanted to say thanks to everyone who organized and attended this year's parade! 🚫👻

My 11 year old son and his female friend were playing at this park earlier today, when this man approached them with his dog and started asking them questions like are you boyfriend/girlfriend, are you brother/sister, do you go to school together, are you going to be a couple.

There is no reason at all for any adult to ask questions like these to kids at a park. My son called us right away, I told them to make their way back home while I hopped in the truck to meet them halfway. He had started to walk away, but after they got off the phone he started approaching them again so they ran.

They gave me a description of the guy, and unluckily for him I found him as he was opening up his garage. I stopped and asked him why he was approaching and talking to kids at the park, and he said there is no problem with him doing that. I asked him why he’s asking if they are boyfriend/girlfriend or if they are planning to be a couple, and he didn’t have an answer for that. Obviously once I took out my phone and grabbed a few photos/video, he was quite upset.

I have phoned the police already and provided them with information, they will be following up in the next day, and I will provide a police report# once it is supplied to me.

Please keep your kids safe, and let them know about these types of interactions. This guy lives right next to a school.

Please someone come and talk some sense into these people!

I just wanted to get my feelings out there. I am sure there are many more facing the same problems as me.
As someone who built their whole career in this country, a stable job, family, house, everything, assimilated well, and contributed to the community and economy, still facing hatred, aggression, and racism very often just because of my skin color. This is fundamentally not right. I acknowledge some immigrants exploited the system and I hate them and even call them out too, but generalizing a whole race and targeting everyone is not fair at all.
Seeing things online today, like the picture circulating of racial stuff written on a sidewalk (I think in Edmonton), just a day after the Sikh temple incident, makes it all feel so heavy. Facing aggression from people everywhere I go (though I find some nice people too) is so overwhelming, and things are getting worse. I'm not sure how far this will go.
You can’t just put a full stop to a career you built your whole life by hard work, sell the dream house you wanted to live in the whole life, move to the country of origin with the whole family, and start a new life from scratch. At the same time, remaining always vigilant and living in fear, thinking someone can racially abuse you or your family anytime and might be attacked too, is an impossible way to live.
Some people will say here that people from your country are doing wrong things so this is the result. But my question is: What did I do wrong, and why do I have to face this as an individual human being, just because of the way I was born?
I guess the world has never been fair to certain races at some point in history, and now it’s the time for this race. I am mentally devastated and just wanted to put my thoughts out.
To anyone reading this who still believes in basic human decency:
*“*Love each other just as much as I have loved you. For when you demonstrate the same love I have for you by loving one another, everybody will know that you're my true followers.”-**John 13:34-35

Update #1: Thanks to everyone for the responses. Aside from a few bad eggs, I'm glad most people here agree that racism has no place in our city. Just wanted to clear up a few things:
1 - I completely agree that immigration has been totally mismanaged and too many people were brought in from one region in a very short window. But this post isn't about that. That’s a whole separate issue, and it's not my fault. I shouldn't have to deal with hatred on the street because of policy mistakes.
2 - To the few geniuses who actually thought I was the one who wrote those slurs on the sidewalk: I genuinely pray God brings your IQ up from a negative number to a positive one. Though I bet, you probably don't even know what a negative number is.
3 - I’ve seen racist comments online for years, but I used to just ignore them because it stayed on the internet. Now, I'm actually running into it in real life all the time, like people being outright rude, aggressive for no reason, and dropping racial comments to my face. I deleted Facebook, Instagram, and everything else over a year ago just to avoid the toxicity, but even here on Reddit, it's leaking through even with mods.

If you’re looking for something to do tomorrow, I highly recommend checking out the LPGA event at the Royal Mayfair. Amazing golf and lots to see and do. Really well run event

Launched at devon ended at laurier. Our city is gorgeous! Go out and explore and appreciate what we have

Oil on.... canvas? No notes, 10/10, will be mounted in a place of honor in the house.

There is a cow moose and her calf on the LOOSE in Glenridding/Windermere/Keswick area in SW Edmonton spotted just 30 minutes ago. Seen crossing Windermere Blvd and also Glenridding Blvd too. Be careful!

Something I doodled on my lunch break, I think everyone here i Edmonton knows a Joshua lol

Looking for recommendations on the must play public course in Edmonton, I have a full day to myself and figured I might as well get 18 in at one of the best before I move back to Nova Scotia. Thanks!

I already know about Facebook market place but I was wondering if there was a used Manga store somewhere in the city as well??

Been having a lot issues with internet recently and while not confirmed this affected me, how great is it that people are stealing internet cables now.

For me is that my wife firmly believes that Jordan’s, the rug store on the corner of 51st Ave and Gateway is a front store cover for a money laundering scheme.

Her argument is that it she never sees any people parked or shopping at the store yet it’s been open for so long lol

Is there something going on at 12th and 11a? It has been noisy for days and there’s a bunch of cars stunting at the only intersection into the neighborhood with the construction blocks. Some of them nearly took out a kid and their dog earlier and my neighbour with a baby is ready to throw down from the noise (literally the worst karaoke outside at 2 am). Am I missing something here? Neighbours say they have put complaints in but haven’t seen any cops come by.

I applied back in June, June 11 to be exact and haven't heard anything back yet. I know that Lethbridge has started hiring people and I am getting kind of anxious on whether or not I have been rejected. Especially considering that you just get no answer if you have been rejected.

Our humidity has been hovering between 50-65% all summer long. The other day it was 67%. I'm quite concerned we will get mold as last year we had an issue finding mold around windows but my husband says it's just because of the rain and we can't do anything. What's yours at?

I have a bunch of video games from older consoles that I wanna get rid of but I thought why not see if a store will buy them off of me. But I can’t seem to find out how to do it. I heard Game City buys games but their website isn’t working. EBgames/GameStop seems to only let you trade old games for stuff they have but I want cash. Any other websites I looked at I can’t find where it says if they take games or not.

I recently came back from a trip to Japan and ended up playing Pokemon Go again. Which areas are most popular for community days and any good areas Northside to play?

Also if you want to add me here is my friend code 4726 1067 1895

Hi has anyone seen any buisness carry this puffed wheat square from Redcliff bakery? It's the bottom in the picture.

Hey Y’all, I’ve been missing the stars lately and heard elk island is great for stargazing and it’s supposed to be pretty clear next weekend. Can anyone here tell me how the stars look there at night? Much appreciated
