    Must read: Inconsistent radar testing casts doubt on validity of millions of tickets

    I'll help you with the link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Canadian_provinces_and_territories_by_population It would show that speeding tickets in Quebec are nothing but a cash grab. Avoid driving / riding there.

    Must read: Inconsistent radar testing casts doubt on validity of millions of tickets

    Oh, one more thing: what's the deal with the disproportionate number of tickets in Quebec and Ontario? (disproportionate compared to population by province)

    El Chapo GoPro footage

    Don't let him fool you, homes. El Chapo is a ruthless vato. He don't respect nothin. The media in the USA doesn't know (or doesn't want to report) half of it.

    Const. James Forcillo shot Sammy Yatim - the trial

    Wow, you posted so many things. Too bad nothing was relevant. Please start by posting the number of actual gun fights occurrences between Toronto cops vs. gang-bangers during 2015. Then, please post the number of victims (cops) at the hands of gang-bangers due to the lack of adequate firepower.

    Odd thoughts on driverless cars

    The way I understand it, the final result will be that all the cars will be aware of each other. They'll be running wireless connectivity, and be plugged into the network, each one of them as a node in the internet of things (IoT). So, driver or no driver, each car will yield if necessary to...

    Const. James Forcillo shot Sammy Yatim - the trial

    Because money is limited... and in the context of Toronto (I cannot emphasize it enough, TORONTO, THE CITY OF TORONTO, an urban centre), would't make more sense to buy tasers for all officers first? And when that phase is completed, then move on to the assault rifles at a later time?

    Odd thoughts on driverless cars

    I don't see anything particularly wrong with the "more trips" factor. It is just like a taxi, moving all the time, so there is more cost, more energy use, BUT it is more efficient because it is busy (with passengers) most of the time. "Cars are among the most expensive things most people own...

    Odd thoughts on driverless cars

    The law is the law and 100 kph is the limit. The software must obey the law. Driverless Cars will be speed-limit aware, won't go any faster. Therefore... There will be NO MORE speeding tickets. Over several years, thousands of people to lose their jobs as a consequence. Example, OPP and any...

    Goodwill - All 16 locations closed

    Employees are asking to get rid of her CEO, but I am sure she will NOT resign. Nakamura was fired as Toronto Community Housing CEO in 2011, and they had to pay her an incredible severance package! She is going to do the same here (not resigning until she gets fired with a package), wait for it.

    Inching towards killing the moto industry in the GTA

    So many good, interesting opinions in this thread. This one by TO Bandit is something I was going to write myself. Yes, agreed - In Toronto and surrounding areas, having a bike is a luxury. No question about that. It is self-regulating - yes, unfortunately, the number of active riders seems...

    Goodwill - All 16 locations closed

    Well, yes, $4 million is not much, especially compared to other subsidies, like the TTC. But as an organization, if they are getting all kind of donations for free (all they have to do is sell them for money), and on top of donations $4 mil cash... how do you run out of money???

    Goodwill - All 16 locations closed

    OK, just saw this outrageous statement: "The organization receives an annual subsidy from the federal and provincial governments totaling $4 million. " If Goodwill gets $4 millions every year from the governments, how in hell can they have a "cash flow" issue? Where is the money going to...

    I am wondering about this situation... very sad example of mismanagement. By the way, do you know that Goodwill CEO is Keiko Nakamura? knakamura@goodwill.on.ca Do you remember her? Keiko Nakamura was the CEO of the Toronto Community Housing Corp. She got fired during the spending scandal...

    New rider- help needed choosing a motorcycle

    Right now is the best time of the year to shop. Yes, you might be dealing with leftovers, but people selling may be very motivated to sell. Do not wait until the season starts, if you can find something now, just get it. Check insurance rates first!!! That is the golden rule in Ontario.

    LIDAR and general court proceedings qs

    It is like encryption for wireless networks. It is pretty secure in theory. But in practice, users misconfigure it in 50% of the networks. Does the officer actually know how to use the device?

    Cauliflower, the new white gold

    LoL. It used to be "Reefer Madness", I guess we need a sequel, this time for cauliflower. What about mangos, papaya, and avocados? Prices are also getting stupid. I know average canadians don't eats those often, but I have to have them.
