When a cop does traffic radar, they don't need to put a sign out saying they are doing so, why do these cameras need one? The speed limit is the limit regardless of if a cop or camera is around. Just the speed limit sign alone is enough signage.

Can't notice how poor of a job Doug is doing as premier if you're already 6 beers deep while driving in gridlock on the 401. In that state you're happy to blame the cyclists for congestion on a highway.

Your source was published in 1995. A lot of regulation has changed over the last 30 years. I wonder what the numbers look like now.

The sks often has a bayonet and is one of the most common guns in Canada.

This article is about handguns. The vast majority of legal guns in Canada are shotguns and rifles. Handguns are already severely restricted in Canada and it is impossible to get one legally now unless your job requires one, such as law enforcement, game wardens, or certain security companies.

If Canada ever reaches a point like the USA where the government is unlawfully abducting people from their homes, you may understand why some people think common people should be able to own guns.

We unfortunately live in a world where guns exist and they can be used for oppression. People stand a better chance against armed opression when they themselves are armed.

Not every gun owner is out here using guns as an extension of power, most just use them for hobbies and huntings. And many express that they would fight against nazi level opression if it comes down to it.

Its gotta be, the devs of the game would want you to trust the advisor so they'd make them charismatic and friendly.

Canada heavily investing in electrified public transit would do a lot more for the economy and the environment than any EV deal with any country. It also has a side effect of supporting denser housing which could help us get out of our housing crisis.

Canada will still need EVs for people who would rather drive or live rurally but our focus should be reducing the reliance on cars. EVs are massively energy and resource ineffcient compared to transit and transit can be made accesible to more people.

Most of the conspiracy theories involve that shadow group opressing people, removing rights from people, hiding truths, and transfering wealth to the higher classes.

A lot of what trump is doing goes along with that. I think this is not solid evidence against shadow government theory.

Ive seen this a lot and i don't think it is weird. One thind I'll mention is people are probably going to stop and watch you, ask questions, maybe even ask if they can try. If that won't bother you while practicing then I'd say go for it and get out there juggling. You could probably leave a hat or something on the ground and people will toss you a couple of coins just for letting them watch.

Instead of insulting the Americans by offering to buy the white house, he respected that some properties, such as the white house, are never for sale, also digging at Trump's real estate roots. He compares Canada to that, "after speaking with the owners of Canada, it is not for sale."

 

I've been having some minor issues with comments. Once a comment thread gets longer than 3 or 4 comments, accesing those deeper comment chains becomes very inconsistent/impossible. The "view more" button to see the rest of the comments will sometimes just disappear or do nothing when pressed. When accessing deep threads from my inbox or profile it will start at the top of the comment thread and fail to load/access the deeper comments, including the comment I used to navigate to that thread. Has anyone else had similar issues or found solutions?

 

The past couple updates whenever I'm browing "all" with sort set to "hot" the first few pages of scrolling is accurate but then it turns to posts that are 6months-2years old. This is only after 1-2 minutes of scrolling. Has anyone else had this issue?
