Such an obligation applies when in public or operating a motor vehicle on public roads. You are on your own land -- does the obligation to produce ID still exist? I'm going to say no. I am sure there are many judges who will agree -- this is a charter rights case waiting to happen. What sucks...

Oh I agree, it sucks. Practically I don't know how they will enforce this. So you're stunting on your own land on a bike with no insurance or plates or a license. Who does the ticket go to?

Personal responsibility is dead. IMO this law is targetting those large car meetups that happen at Timmies or in plazas. Most stunters on bikes already run without plates and the cops are powerless to stop them.

If it's any consolation the courts will likely toss this pretty quickly. As far as I know the only time HTA rules have been enforced on private property is with respect to accidents and reporting damages. Side note: this cop is smarmy AF. "This is an exciting time for us" -- try to conceal your...

The US doesn't want to open the Canadian border ahead of the Mexican one for political reasons. So until then, we wait...

I believe the black dodge ram belongs to 23 division, I've seen it out by the airport on Dixon quite frequently

I wonder when they'll rename Brantford and everything Brant: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Brant and

Do we think it is a coincidence that they waited until Quebec had a doube-variant-India case before doing this? ?

Fair. Maybe there is some contingency plan going on behind the scenes with Biden, who knows. I just hope we aren't shooting ourselves in the foot just to make some point about not relying on the US. I think after this pandemic, the public perception towards pandemic response and public health...

Why is this a surprise to anyone? Ripping off Western R&D is China's bread and butter -- no matter the industry. For example, it's an open secret that Huawei's success is mostly off the back of pilfered Nortel IP. And why are we even negotiating vaccine deals with China? We are in this pandemic...

In Toronto they have been doing this for bikes already. I was riding through Yorkville one night this year and got caught in an enforcement blitz (no ticket though). Here it's $600 and it's a Toronto by-law ticket, no HTA/insurance ramifications.

Yes, page 20 under "Domestic Services [...] to support children": https://files.ontario.ca/moh-enhanced-provincewide-shutdown-en-2021-01-12-v3.pdf

Don't hold your breath. The media (both traditional and social) is currently in the process of painting all Republicans/conservatives as traitors who need be "dealt with". History tells us that this strategy rarely ends in anything close to unity. The democrats are still in denial about the...

I doubt they have the personnel to do it anyways. It took a pandemic (revenue hit) for TPS to start enforcing basic traffic laws. I don't think they have the manpower to do anything close to what you've described.

It is tough. But they could do something to at least try. Or at least force people to quarantine upon return (put them up in a hotel for 2 weeks) as part of the condition of traveling. In other news, looks like a curfew is off the table (or at least that's what they are leaking): Ford cabinet...

Apart from the rights infringement point (which I've argued here already) there are other problems with a curfew: People now have reduced hours to shop, leading to line ups and more people in stores in a shorter period of time. More people in stores during a given time = higher chance of COVID...

1. Not necessarily the measures themselves, but the train of thought behind it. We have people on here begging the government to institute curfews, and it just seems disproportional to me. Also yes I understand Poland had no choice, I was speaking more about the dawn of Soviet communism than...

Wow. Enough said, no point in carrying this debate on any further. Did you ever consider that places like communist Poland became they way they are, because at the outset people were eager to throw their rights away for some sort of security (physical, financial, etc.)? This is how every...

Of course, no where did I say we have the absolute right to do what we want. I am saying it's completely outside of "reasonable" to order all ~14 million people in Ontario to be under house arrest from 8PM - 5AM. There is a big difference between "I should have the right to go drink in a bar...

The argument will be that it creates a hostile work environment for female employees. I don't necessarily agree, but don't give some HR person a reason to squeeze you out. Now of course, would a female employee get fired for having a picture of a shirtless hot dude in their background...
