Hey there, time traveller!

Manitoba’s Justice Department is investigating a website that says it has paintings for sale by a man serving a life sentence for beheading and carving up another man at a Winnipeg hotel.
The government is trying to determine whether the Can Art Coast to Coast website violates a provincial law forbidding people from profiting from crime.
“We’re going to be making inquiries into whether or not that particular website, or the activities they’re trying to do, would be in violation of the legislation… but at this stage, it’s early in the investigation,” Al Cameron, manager of the department’s public safety investigation unit, told The Canadian Press on Wednesday.
Can Art Coast to Coast, which is based in Winnipeg, says it sells paintings by different artists, especially homeless or incarcerated people, and gives a portion of each sale to charity.
Its website dedicates a page to the artwork of Sydney Teerhuis-Moar alongside newspaper articles about his gruesome case.
Teerhuis-Moar, 40, was found guilty last December in the second-degree murder of Robin Greene.
