I have no idea what it was doing in California

Steroids probably

I often relieve my on fires I've started

I'm not from North America but I live in Canada now. I find tipping is ridiculous. But if I'm going to be forced to tip it should be made clear to me before the transaction starts. I'm not saying this is the best solution. Tipping should obviously be abolished but I'm just answering this question.

Lol, I'm not saying this is the ultimate solution. I'm answering the question. I also think tipping should be abolished.

Apparently my bean vegan pet post was too soon

I feel like I missed these completely. Does this mean no posting about rabbits etc?

Honestly, they all suck.. I'll see myself out

I can commit crime via sms, whatsapp, signal or mail.

But you're not allowed to

I work remote, live in Belleville, and visit our Toronto offices every couple of months. My experience with VIA Rail has been positive though I appreciate that I have a lot of flexibility. I can work while on the train so the commute isn't wasted time for me. Working while commuting is not something I could do if I drove or took a bus. The train can be late so I wouldn't organize an in-person-meeting within an hour of the scheduled arrival.

I agree that the ticketing system should be improved to encourage commuting, it would be a headache to buy tickets individually weeks in advance if I were using the service more frequently.

Canadian soldiers need to get up to more mischief, obviously these MPs are bored

Why wasn’t he required to have a surety/translator?

That's a valid question no matter where they were born. I'm not arguing that there were no failings in this case, I'm arguing that those failings are not related to the original citizenship of this individual.

As I said earlier

We all want to reduce violent crime in Canada so lets focus on identifying real causal relationships so that we can support at risk individuals.

Let's identify at risk individuals (both possible victims and possible attackers) instead of scapegoating non casual and even non correlated attributes of individuals who commit violent acts.

re: traffic laws in Canada. From my experience, it depends where you are in Canada (and what number plates you have). Driving the speed limit on Toronto highways is dangerous but going 10 over with Ontario plates in Quebec can get you a ticket 😅 There are lots of unwritten road rules here, it was difficult to learn as an immigrant. Especially coming from a country littered with speed cameras where 7km over will get you fined hundreds of dollars. And don't get me wrong, I think Canadian drivers are generally really good, it's just the laws don't align with the reality which can be confusing.

most people are terrible about rolling stops, its insane

The stop signs seem more like a polite suggestion here 🤣 And why don't they just increase the speed limit to 120 already.

just because the data says one thing DOES NOT in any sense preclude the existence of severe outlier data points

That's why we should rely on the data, decisions shouldn't be based on anecdotal outliers. No one is excusing the horrific acts of Ali Ibrahim or any other immigrant. It's just that their immigrant status doesn't have a causal relationship with crime so immigration status is irrelevant. We all want to reduce violent crime in Canada so lets focus on identifying real causal relationships so that we can support at risk individuals.
