  • A tale as old as time! Car brains don’t bat an eye when it’s $1 million, $10 million, or $100 million spent on “convenience” for motorists.

    But don’t you dare spend a fraction of that for the safety and security of everyone else! /s

    I wish our governments would have motorists pay the true cost of their multi-lane roads, “free” on-street parking spaces, parking garages and massive lots, or the cost to send first responders out to the tens of thousands of collisions we’ve normalized.

    Maybe then they’d STFU about cost.

    All communities pay dearly for car-centric infrastructure, and the maintenance costs required to keep it all running.






  • Therefore, it is crucial to note that Hitler chose a party name of national socialists to deceive the general public, in particular the working class, to grow the base and strength of the Nazi Party. This was an intentional lie, deliberate propaganda…

    The fact that either PP doesn’t know this, or is trying to deliberately twist the facts, should make every Canadian angry.

    To equate true socialism, like making sure that school kids have food in their stomach, to what Nazis did under Hitler, is so dishonest and shameful.







  • “The more time our officers spend reviewing CCTV… the less time they have available for patrolling railway stations and trains, investigating crimes which cause the most harm.”

    Interesting. Then they’ll stop investigating other vehicle theft, too, right?

    Also, if you are going to “decriminalize” crimes like that, then at least “decriminalize” actions taken by people to prevent or recover their stolen property.








  • We already know what works: deposit-return programs in provinces like BC and Alberta have achieved recovery rates of 77 per cent and 85 per cent for non-alcoholic beverage containers, respectively.”

    I’m actually interested in how this works in practice.

    We have blue bin poachers around here, who rifle through your bins in the middle of the night, often leaving a mess. Doesn’t a deposit-return system encourage more of that?

    Or do people collect these containers in their home?

    And where do they return these containers? If they are disabled or elderly… does this end up being a disproportionate burden on them?

    If it works, cool. The implementation is what interests me.
