So they excluded all the problem people, gave those who were down on their luck some money, and the results were positive. Shocking! Lol. There is definitely a case to made for separating these groups. Though I wonder how a program like that would scale, sounds like it's ripe for abuse.

If we're powerless to lock people like this up in an institution (where this person undoubtedly belongs), then there's 0 chance we fix our homeless problem. Two sides of the same coin...

2/3 major federal political parties wouldn't even be able to come up with a list of what acceptable behaviour is (we're a post-national state, remember). That in and of itself is depressing.

Funny you mention that. Many Indian managers/franchisees (think McDonalds/Wal-Mart/Timmies/etc.) love to hire international students from India because they can exploit them. Also no need to speak English when you can speak to your employees exclusively in Hindi. And then they bring this kinda...

A failure of both levels of government: the province is totally lax about diploma mills and the feds rubber stamp any student visa. In the end we normal people pay the price...

Considering it was a Liberal government at the time demonstrates that the corruption in this province runs beyond party lines.

Teachers threaten to strike like every other year, lol. Have the radio ads started yet?

Sad that DoFo is our least offensive option right now too.

An important thing with brake pads is that they fit into the caliper properly. A risk you run with aftermarket pads is that they (and the hardware they come with) don't 100% fit into the caliper. Which means you need to grind/shave/adjust the ears of the pads a bit to make it work. Not a huge...

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:
