My parents have had decent success packaging and freezing some farm stand stuff for later.

Sounds like a reasonable case to make the intersection a 2-way stop and allow the hill side of traffic to take priority.

At the very least there should be more signage warning of the stop.

Plot twist, Russia and America work together to swing Canada one way or another before they fight each other for Canada.

Doesn’t change the 65% of the seats for 40% of the votes statistic. Most voters didn’t want him. Those who didn’t vote don’t impact the polls, maybe if they did vote it could skew the broken system away from Ford but it is clear our voting system needs to be reformed.

And it still barely works then cause we don’t have proportional representation. Doug ford has 65% of the seats with 40% of the vote. He is not what most of Ontario wants, but its what we are stuck with.

Well doug can call an emergency election any time he wants, why can’t the people?

The landlords have the job of ensuring rent stays unaffordable, why would doug stop that? His developer buddies don’t wanna build in a fair market where 3500/month is unreasonable for a 1000 sqft condo.

They know the feedback isn’t good so they don’t even wanna hear it.

Its hard to when he sends out a bribe and calls an emergency election for no justifiable reason except he could see his popularity starting to slip so he had to nip it in the butt, hence the bribe cheques sent to taxpayers.

I mean i didn’t fall for the ruse but a lot of folks will forget about all the corruption and problems not being addressed when they see their tax dollars returned directly to them. They wanna vote for the guy putting tax dollars back in their pocket, even if that guy is going to waste every penny that wasn’t refunded making ontario worse.

Ive noticed this too, some of the ads I’ve heard on the radio are similar to the ads in the US where the disclaimer and side effects warnings are longer than the ad itself.

Homeless aren’t tied to their province of origin. Many may have went to Vancouver for its milder climate or other reasons.

It is probably his plan to have this make homelessness worse, that way the public sees the problem getting worse and loosens their standards for the solution. This is going to normalize encampment tear downs and other hostile “solutions” to homelessness.

Especially considering that if those transit trips replace car trips, even having the fare be free is a net financial positive in the reduction of road maintenance, traffic enforcement, lane widening, and emergency services costs.

Shouldn’t it be his head dangling down?

My uncles were arrested so many times that cops would immediately over react to anyone with the same last name (they liked to get drunk and fight the cops). They ended up with similar weapons bans. As a kid i thought for sure they’d end up life in prison at some point. Instead they both eventually turned their lives around. My uncle is now able to get his PAL and he is looking forward to learning how to hunt.

People can change, although access and use of rehab resources can definitely help.

I agree with the pairing. Some people get violent, erratic or otherwise disruptive while battling their illnesses. It wouldn’t be fair or ideal to have support workers be victimized by assault or other crimes. It also isn’t the right reaponse to just show up and shoot someone having an issue. Pairing them means force is available if needed, but theres also a more social form of help available if they are willing and able to cooperate.

For example some people with mental illnesses feel unsafe and try to arm themselves with a knife or something to protect themselves (from what varies from case to case). It would be unreasonable for a support worker to approach while they are armed. Having the police to help talk with them into putting the knife down and relocating to an area away from the knife or other hazards could provide a better opportunity for a support worker to approach. If it ends up escalating, the police are there to intervene before the support worker gets hurt, hopefully in a nonlethal manner.

I agree the punishment should be harsher than that for carrying a prohibited weapon, but i do think the 10 year prohibitation from firearms is adequate, assuming this is his last run in with the law aside from maybe a simple traffic ticket.

The prohibition for 10 years means he now cannot legally get a PAL and legally buy firearms. I get it, it seems pointless, but its about preventing legal firearms from reaching people unfit to use them responsibly. The illegal side still needs to be addressed by confronting the illegal gun trade.

Yes it physically hurts them because it is them expending the energy and stressing their biological joints. Not a machine expending the energy and wearing out mechanical joints.

If someone wants to spend more energy on themselves instead of their car they can go for a joyride or something. I would bet that most people don’t want to spend extra energy on their commute just because.

I think it is a little different given the physical demand of starting and stopping is on the person rather than on machinery. Adding say a dozen stops to what would have otherwise been relatively smooth speed on a bicycle will significantly increase the energy expended by the person cycling.
