Man Attempts To Escape Police On Riding Lawn Mower

"Freedom To Mow"

A Saskatchewan man allegedly decided that if he was going to flee police, he was going to do it the Canadian way.

Not in a stolen pickup.

Not on a dirt bike.

Not even on a snowmobile.

A riding lawn mower.

Witnesses reported seeing the suspect ripping down a rural road at an estimated speed of:

"faster than walking, slower than ambition."

Police immediately began pursuit.

The chase reached terrifying speeds of nearly 12 km/h, making it one of the slowest police pursuits since a goose refused to leave a crosswalk.

According to witnesses, the suspect appeared completely unbothered.

Some claim he was holding a Tim Hortons coffee.

Others swear they heard him yell:

"YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE!"

while being overtaken by a mobility scooter.

RCMP officers eventually brought the pursuit to an end after realizing:

they could simply wait.

One officer reportedly described the event as:

"The most Saskatchewan thing I've ever seen."

Which is saying something.

Beaver Shuts Down Traffic Again

Local Beaver Continues Infrastructure Project Nobody Approved

Meanwhile, several kilometers away, a beaver once again demonstrated why Canada remains one of the few countries where wildlife openly challenges government authority.

Drivers were delayed after a large beaver dragged part of a tree across a roadway and began what experts believe was:

"an unscheduled construction project."

Traffic was backed up for hours.

The beaver showed no remorse.

Witnesses say the animal repeatedly stared at motorists with the confidence of a municipal project manager running three years behind schedule.

One frustrated driver reported:

"He looked me right in the eye like I worked for him."

Authorities attempted to remove the obstruction.

The beaver reportedly returned.

Twice.

At this point experts believe the beaver may actually possess:

• a permit,
• union membership,
• and stronger job security than most Canadians.

The Ministry of Transportation has not commented.

Mostly because nobody wants that fight.

Final Thoughts

Canada used to build roads.

Now beavers build roads.

Canada used to enforce laws.

Now lawn mower drivers test them.

And somewhere in Saskatchewan tonight:

• a man is explaining why a mower counts as a getaway vehicle,
• a beaver is reviewing engineering drawings,
• and a goose is laughing at both of them.

Honestly?

We're about three raccoons away from forming a coalition government. 🍁🦫🚜
