I've often wondered why, after a century of innovation, modern bicycles look so similar to the ones that people rode in the 1890s. After all the innovations in the world since that time, why haven't we improved on the bicycle?...
I don't even know what to say about people scared of a pennyfarthing. I guess they never saw a guy push a motorcycle fast as he can in 3rd gear clutch disengaged, and jump on when the engine fires after he dumps the clutch. (They took away kickers before electric start was reliable)
In a statement, Premier David Eby insisted that his government is "caring and compassionate for those struggling with addiction," but that patience for disorder only goes so far.
A provincial rule to limit short-term rentals to a homeowner's principal residence plus one secondary suite or accessory dwelling comes into force in British Columbia on May 1 in 60 communities, while 17 additional communities have chosen to opt into the rules, despite being exempt....
I don't understand that, considering the insanely high rental prices of the lower mainland. Its not like you save money by not paying a mortgage. I've heard of this stategy before but it only works when rent is far cheaper than mortgage over a decade. Anyways it doesn't matter cause when the 300 year earthquake hits nobody's gonna have nothing out there
The mayor should be asking Myron Demkiw for his resignation, he just admitted he doesn't care what really happened. “I share the feelings of our members who were hoping for a different outcome,” Demkiw wrote."

Sometimes reporters push their narrative a little too hard. Sure, i hate the fucking cops, but them not enforcing an order that a man who lives rural not possess axes or knives....like does this order extend to the fucking steak knives? You can't prohibit a person from basic living tools and you shouldn't frame this as a police failure.
I wonder if it ever occurs to police to not be massive pieces of aggressive, lying pieces of shit. First thing they do to people that'll act like them is severe assault if not kill em.
The opposition B.C. United party says staff and patients at Vancouver's St. Paul's Hospital are being exposed to illicit drug use and trafficking with alarming regularity, in a claim that has received pushback from hospital staff....
That movie was a fucking IQ test for the general population. We failed. You literally have to tell people the bugs did not explode Buenos Aries, it was some Reichstag Fire bs. His satire was so spot on it looks like it's not to a certain set. He ruined so many actors careers with the "act like a wooden retard" and them nailing it.
A police operation at the Port of Montreal led to the recovery of 598 stolen vehicles since December, many of them stolen from southern Ontario and slated for sale overseas....
It's easy enough hide cars when you have garage and shipping containers, border patrol is more concerned with things entering the ports than leaving, falsify some paperwork, etc.
People with the money to afford things like this have better things to do, so corporations buy them now. The old days, some guy retiring from the NHL would see this as a nice "retirement", now they either can't afford it or have been successful enough in the NHL this is beneath them.
Lets break this down for you. Take beer. a bar doesn't pay gst, pst or lct when it buys it, only when it sells it, but there's already an excise and other taxes on it long before it reaches point of final sale. so say 45-55 dollars price a 24 case for the liquor store or bar if in a province with a form of LCB monopoly yet. the bar can't sell it for less than 70 bucks or it's paying you to leave with it. 75 now as of the federal increase depending on province, just to not lose money selling beer to leave the premises, and you don't want to increase it to a point you make money off that, because it's at least getting people in the door because you're price matching the liquor store, Then the carbon tax. the bills. the taxes on those, the tax tax tax on tax. if you do manage to make any money after all that, they tax that too. Small business books look like the shit people used try kill the sheriff of Nottingham and prince john for.
The people in this country who make less than the tax cutoff are so few it doesn't even come into a discussion between actual adults on general policy. You clowns would impoverish everyone on the lie that that is what it takes to give a very few welfare.
"but taxes never made someone destitute." that there is what we call a "lie".
What had held Canada back for 50 years is people like you. You didn't want to make a go of it, you bought into all that fucking nazi Tommy Douglas and his political descendants ruined this country with. You people need to be reminded you're useless garbage every now and then. Love, some guy with a numbered corp. There'd be a 250 square mile area with out the last person hanging on providing the business i do if i did fuck off.
so you don't know bout his eugenics theories and his trips to Berlin in the late 30s? or why the RCMP and later CSIS watched him till he died, and the Douglas files that were supposed to be released 4 years ago were sealed for another 50 years? I'm not a troll, I'm fucking pissed and sad at the way this all has gone
Just remember every time you hear news stories about undesirable people being forcibly sterilized on reservations or institutions in Canadas recent history, Tommy Douglas' writings on eugenics were directly responsible.
I hope you get to live in the Canada you want. We're almost there anyways. Look around, how on earth does any of this make you feel like it's worthwhile?
No, that's not the mirror, it was an elderly native man with mild retardation worked for the pizza shop, got a big payout a few years ago over this finally.
You people amaze me. Do you really want to live in the Canada that's coming based on the trends of today? c-63 is coming, this entire conversation would be criminal under it.
Forced sterilization of undesirables based on Douglas' and other theories continued until the 80s. this isn;t conspiracy shit, it's well documented and known among people don't get their history lessons from "The Greatest Canadian". I know some of the victims. This was not unclear.
jesus christ why not just say "But Harper" outright? At least when the conservatives are in charge, they try fix everything the Liberals broke. But they break shit so bad, it's hard to come back. We'll be feeling this Trudeau for 50 years, and we still haven't recovered from his dad.
Maybe they've noticed over time what actually happens when the conservatives, liberals or ndp are in charge during bad worldwide times. You definitely want a Harper not a Trudeau for conditions of the last ten years. yknow, a fucking economist.
Only if you pretend the problem is lack of housing not insane immigration. Maybe importing carpenters instead of truckers and counter staff would help.
