That's insane, I saw it at Montreal in the cinema for $14 CAD.

That's a problem with your workplace, not the language nor OP.
You could have a build setting for personal development where unused variables are not checked, and then a build setting for your CI system that will look for them. It gives you freedom to develop the way you want without being annoyed when you remove something just to test something, but will not merge your PR unless the stricter rules are met.

Ceux qui se plaignent le plus des vélos à Montréal sont ceux qui viennent de l’extérieur de Montréal

Je voudrais ajouter, ils sont aussi juste une minoritie bruiante, je pense que la majoritie des persons les veulent. C'est n'est pas par hasard que les maires pro velo ont des bonnes resultats meme ici que dans l'Europe.

Be mindful of blind spots. Cars have tons of them. Assume that if you're anywhere between their rear and front lights they might not see you.

Never be next to the middle of buses or trucks on intersections, while turning their body will be displaced towards you, lots of people have died that way.

Ride defensively. This means, assume cars will not obey traffic laws, assume they might not yield, assume they might skip that red light. Until you're certain a car is stopping, don't put yourself in a situation where you your wellness depends on that car stopping.

BE WEARY OF DOORS. If you ride close to parked cars, you will get doored, that's a guarantee. Always keep a safe distance from parked cars. If for some reason you gotta stick close to them, use their mirrors to look into the car and ride slowly.

A supermajority of animal feed comes from the waste product of crops we that were being grown anyway

According to the Alberta Cattle Feeders Association, 80% of the feed is composed of corn. According to the USDA itself half the corn grown in the US was used for animal feed, and 78% of the world's soy production is made for animal feed.
Is the waste product of corn and soy included in these numbers?

Cows and chickens gotta eat too, and that food is coming from fields as well.
By reducing meat consumption also way less critters will end up dying.

You can also find them in North America, in Vancouver!

I don't understand why it is a concern, many countries allow drinking in public, and yet I've never seen as many intoxicated people in public as when I moved to Canada. All councilors need doing is taking a look at the data in these countries, or even Montreal in here!

The vast majority of people who'd take advantage of this are responsible ones who just wanna share a beer and some chips with friends.
The ones who'd get wasted are already doing it, they don't care about the law.

We still have to aim higher than simply "it's free".

Over here in Montreal my GF and I have been waiting for a family doctor for already 3.5 years (took us just 1 month to get one back in Winnipeg).
The one time we had to go to ER, for a snowboarding head blow with concussion symptoms, we had to wait 13 hours on a quiet night because the night shift had only 1 doctor, in Montreal's 2nd most central hospital (Notre Dame). In fact, on average 12 percent of all ER visits in the Grand Montreal area end up leaving in frustration without being seen by a doctor.

Adding to the ER burden, walk in clinics no longer exist; you gotta use an online appointment finder, and finding an appointment often involves clicking on the search button for over 1 hour, fighting for elusive cancellations with many other people in the same situation.

Many countries have proven socialized healthcare can work very well. Spain, Israel, Italy, Germany among them. We gotta compare ourselves to them, no the US.

I know Slashdot's time has passed but didn't know there was drama involved.
Was there any Digg v4 like event that led to its fall?

Despite being quite a fan of the festival, this year I found out it starts today by pure chance, 2 days ago, hoping it doesn't happen to others.

Enjoy the festival and post recommendations if you've got any!
