Want To Buy A Wroute Tesla?
I wondered what was going to happen to these things once the company went out of business, and now I have my answer. For a cool $117,000 Canadian, you can own one of Wroute’s 10 2017 Tesla model X cars. They’re also willing to let go of everything from winter tires to road maps to …
So Long Wroute, We Hardly Knew Ye
I worried about this when it launched and eventually they started worrying about it too, but in the end, there was no saving it. Transportation company Wroute Inc. has suspended all operations in the face of lower than anticipated ridership. “Essentially it became apparent that the marketplace was just not present,” president Jason Hammond said …
Jerry Howarth Is Coming To Kitchener To Sign Books And Talk About Baseball
I’m plugging this event for two reasons: It sounds like a fun night and I think I may want to go. Because whoever is in charge of making these decisions needs to know of my desire for an audio version of this book. One read by Jerry, provided his voice can handle it. Join us …

Take One…Out Of My Pants
Somehow I missed this one last summer. When Rebecca McKay went to her band’s studio last week, she found something she never expected. A man, shirtless and sweating, allegedly masturbating to pornography on the band’s computer was sitting on the couch in the mixing room. He quickly tried to come up with a cover story …
Wroute, Now With A Few Less Routes
One of the first things I said when I heard about Wroute, the service that will Tesla you between Kitchener and Guelph, is that I thought they were aiming too high out of the gate. Unfortunately, it seems they’re starting to realize that I was correct. The owner of Wroute said they expected there to …
Grand River Transit Is About To Change Hundreds Of Stop Names
Not sure how much any of this is really going to mess anyone up, but the fact that Grand River Transit is changing the names of about 300 bus stops as of tomorrow morning seems like something worth a mention. The change is part of an effort to standardize the system and for “wayfinding purposes”, …

You Can’t Spell Christkindl Without Christ
It’s not every day I agree with church people on something, but it’s hard to argue with them here. A controversy has surfaced from Kitchener’s Christkindl Market after a group of performers say they were silenced for talking about Jesus. Pastor Jacob Reaume had to shout his message at the opening night of the market …

CKWR Gets To Live And A Better Plan For Christmas Music
We had to pick a new morning radio station today. Our usual stop, CKWR, has made the flip to all Christmas for its daily hosted music blocks and automation as of December 1st. The specialty shows are free to do their own thing, but that doesn’t do us much good when it’s six A.M. and …

Radio Waterloo, A Documentary About The Creation Of Community Radio Here And In Canada
I haven’t had a chance to watch this yet, but since I’ve seen it recommended in a couple of places that are generally pretty good about recommending these sorts of things and because let’s be honest, odds are it was going up anyway, enjoy this documentary on the history and struggles of community radio in …
