Amazon Canada to open fulfillment facility on West coast, to create 100 jobs

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: My wife is no longer my life partner! To my mind, she’s just the mother of my children. She still lives with us and does the major part of the child care.

This summer she discovered I had a girlfriend, but she didn’t want to “break up our family,” as I earn a lot of money. Now she’s treating me like garbage. She’s pleasant to the kids and our cleaning help, but she doesn’t speak much to me, and is disposed to giving me lists for groceries and medication pickups via email, so I pay for almost everything.

The kids seem fine so far, because we haven’t broken up our family and we haven’t changed how we treat each other in front of them. We’re polite and we never fight.

Then just last weekend, my wife finally let me know she’d recently met someone she’s “seeing privately.” It’s a guy we both know from a sports activity the kids enjoy. That just makes me sick — and is upsetting me far more than breaking up.

People over cars — always

Re: Researchers: lights at crossing ‘long overdue’ (Oct. 22)

Maggie Macintosh’s article was right on the mark. The biggest problem with pedestrian crossings is the remarkable inconsistency, but there is also the fact that drivers at every traffic light are trained to keep running through amber lights until they turn to red.

I use the pedestrian crossing at Roblin Boulevard and Hunterspoint Road and drive through it every day. Almost every day I see drivers, from a full block away, who will just keep going through the flashing ambers (at the crossing), especially if there is traffic ahead of them doing the same thing.

Police officers stopped a sexual assault in progress on Stanley Street on Wednesday evening.

A member of the public called 911 after they spotted a suspect assaulting a woman shortly after 7 p.m. on the 300 block of Stanley, the Winnipeg Police Service said.

Patrol officers responded almost immediately and found a suspect in the process of sexually assaulting an unconscious woman just after 7:10 p.m.

Police took the suspect into custody, while paramedics took the woman to hospital in stable condition.
