IMO a big factor with the M1X/M2 exam is that people are not just learning to ride. They are also learning how a manual transmission works. Getting used to a motorcycle is new enough, and if you have no concept of how a clutch or gears work it's an added thing your brain needs to keep track of...

Sorry but I think your examples are not based in reality. What you described is certainly doable yes, but it's a minority opinion. Very few people are taking their kids to school on a bicycle in January. Same goes for people hauling 200lbs of garbage anywhere. Also if riding in the winter were...

Absolutely crazy.

The bike lanes on Bloor thing really riles me up. I live in the area and this change is going to make driving anywhere on Bloor unbearable. I submitted feedback and spoke to one of the city planners about this. My conclusion is that the bureaucrats at city hall are being punitive to car drivers...

There are degrees of necessity though. Post WW2 immigration to populate a sparsely populated country is one thing. Bringing in record numbers of people into a country with clear signs of taxed social services/markets is not prudent. It becomes a feedback loop because eventually (like now) the...

This is a pretty uniquely Canadian problem. So much of our GDP is based on non-productive assets (real estate) that we cannot afford to stop the train. The government will fight tooth and nail to keep people in their homes because if that house of cards collapses we are in for a really rough...

I wonder if this will be similar to last year where we opened for like 3 weeks in March and then closed again for 3 months due to rising ICU numbers. We're only ~130 ICU spots away from last year's peak.

If you want a chuckle go look at Tacoma prices. 2WD trucks with 300k+ KM selling for 12,000 and more

Get ready to be shocked at what prices are like out there.

Well the ones you know are certainly more respectful than the ones I know :rolleyes:

Pretty much. We're also relying on businesses that have been starved of revenue to turn away potential customers...yeah, not gonna happen. Especially when enforcement is practically nil.

Most antivaxxers I know are living life as is. The vaccine certificates are trivial to fake and no one checks too closely. I wonder if the QR code will change that but I doubt it.

As of today, 23% of available ICU beds are filled with COVID patients, and of that 23% only ~48% are unvaccinated. So the unvaccinated are creating an overhead of ~11%. Forget the unvaccinated, it's absolutely pathetic that our healthcare system crumbles after a modest 20-25% increase of ICU...

I wonder if they'd have charged him were it just a routine traffic stop and not a collision...

Sure. Your chart is under the "Hospitalized and ICU cases" heading, which is looking solely at people in hospital who have tested positive for COVID. If you click that little help icon next to the "Admitted for other reasons" button, it says "Individual was admitted to the hospital or ICU for...

Well that's part of the social contract here in Canada, we all pay for things we might not personally need. Whether or not you agree with it that is the setup we have here. Those people are committing some sort of fraud by lying on their census/property tax application about how many people are...

They aren't though. Overall only 20% of people in the ICU are due to COVID, the rest are there for the usual reasons. Our healthcare system is so pathetic that it can't handle moderate increases in ICU bed occupancy. This was happening before the pandemic as well: 1, 2. The reality is that the...

Pretty much any film unless the director specifically tries to make it realistic. Most gunshots in films are sound edited, except for movies like Heat or Collateral where firearms accuracy was specifically sought after. Then there's also the classic indoor firefights, where all the actors can...

This one probably cemented my desire to ride motorcycles:
