Hey there, time traveller!

The Winnipeg police Checkstop program will be on city roads every night for the month of December.
Program co-ordinator Const. Stephane Fontaine said people who drive while impaired have a chance of devastating an innocent family through their actions.
Impaired driving is the No. 1 criminal cause of death in Canada, he said.
Fontaine warned motorists against driving impaired by either drugs or alcohol, and advised taking a bus, taxi, using a designated driver or taking a ride from Operation Red Nose, if necessary.
A total of 4,472 vehicles were stopped last year. Of those, 46 drivers were found to be impaired or refused a breathalyzer, while 27 received warnings and were suspended from driving for 72 hours.
