Hey there, time traveller!

The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner has called an inquest into the stabbing death of a Stony Mountain Institution inmate.
Adrian Fillion, 42, was stabbed 52 times with a makeshift knife filed from a garbage can by two inmates April 22, 2019.
Fillion was rushed to hospital in Stonewall, but died of his injuries.
An inquest into the slaying, which will look to see if anything can be done to prevent similar deaths from happening again, is automatic because Fillion was an inmate in a correctional institution at the time of his death.
Kevin Curtis Edwards, 29, and Peter Fisher, 27, were later sentenced on murder charges, after testifying they had targeted Fillion because he was a sex offender.
Edwards, who had been serving a nine-year sentence for various offences, was sentenced to life in prison.
Fisher, who was in prison for life after being found guilty of the 2012 slaying of a Kenora, Ont., man, was sentenced to a second term of life in prison after pleading guilty to first-degree murder.
Fillion was one of five inmates killed in inmate-on-inmate violence in the Manitoba penitentiary during an 18-month period.
