Hey there, time traveller!

Hamilton police say a man is facing multiple criminal charges after drugs, cash and a pet raccoon were found inside a tent in a city park.
The man is also facing bylaw charges for keeping a “prohibited” animal.
Police say officers executed a search warrant on a tent in Montgomery Park on Dec. 20 after receiving complaints about a person with a firearm who was allegedly dealing drugs in the area.
They say officers found a generator, a television and a safe filled with cash and drugs inside the tent – as well as a raccoon that was kept as a pet.
Police say a 36-year-old man was arrested nearby and charged with possession of prohibited drugs for the purpose of trafficking and possession of a prohibited weapon, along with other charges.
Police say the city’s animal services were contacted to take the raccoon.
