Context for non-Canadians: Heather Mallick is among the several local journalists who cannot appear to write a coherent article from start to finish and remains employed despite a surplus of young journalists who would do a better job for much less money. She wrote a column today about stabbing a raccoon with a fork and how the raccoon possibly wanted to have sex with her??? I don't know. It's very incoherent and so many bad things happen in the world that it's really delightful that the entire city can come together to laugh at this.

If you're worried, the raccoon is fine.

I was wondering what was up with the raccoons from bits I saw go by on Twitter.
I have a good friend who pokes her local raccoons with a spear to teach them to respect her boundaries, so I can see how a fork wouldn't be particularly impressive to a raccoon.

I've never attempted any violence against them, but I've shouted at them to get away from my bins. Amazingly they were not impressed by this.

I'e found strong red lights seem to annoy them, or at least get their attention, better than either noise or white light.

My dad once attempted to shoo a racoon using a broomstick. The racoon grabbed the end of the broomstick and shooed back.
