    OPP crash during chase on 400

    No offence, but if that the best example of highly trained pursuit personnel and best practices, what are the rest of the OPP like. That was carnage.

    Canada Post

    <rant> Is it just me or is Canada post getting worse and worse. Had a friend mail me the same thing 3 times. They lost the first 2 and damaged the third. I had a guy in Ottawa email me a caliper bracket on May 16th. I asked him to track it as I needed it quickly. The box showed up this...

    Bomb in Manchester UK

    As much as I find the IRA reprehensible I can see how they had a political agenda to unite Ireland. Similarly with Castro who wanted to overthrow Bastista, etc. I don't understand what this is intended to achieve, apart from "kill whitey". I always imagine they are trying to provoke a reaction...

    French Election 2017

    That's quite a silly comment. A distant family relation was a guy called Bobby Sands. He was the first IRA hunger striker to die. He was a Protestant. The one time Chief of Staff for the IRA was a guy called Seán Mac StÃ*ofáin, born John Edward Drayton Stephenson in Leytonstone, London...

    American Vs Canadian insurance

    That's what I hate about Ontario. You are forced to pay for Accident Benefits then forced to use your own benefits if anything happens. If you have another misshap like a sports injury and your benefits are gone you are then SOL. The car insurance company won't pay for that

    Its not the same thing. People witness child rape and don't come forward? I would, but then again I'm only a big hearted Existentialist

    London Attack -

    But even if those millions of people don't actively participate in actual abuse they passively participate by turning a blind eye. It took a investigation by the Boston Globe to uncover the names of over 200 clerics that had abused more that 1000 people, and that was only the ones that came...

    London Attack -

    I don't understand this comment. Are you denying that child and abuse takes place in these religions, or are you advocating that its fine as its being perpetrated in the name of a god? Cars are dangerous but there are laws enacted that attempt to limit the risk when driving. Seems like religion...

    London Attack -

    But is it really? Ask anyone that's been subject to rape and sexual abuse by a Catholic Priest or an Imam, or a woman that has suffered physical or mental abuse at the hands of her husband in the name of god and you may get a different answer. How has it improved their life? The phrase "Rule...

    ****ing Canadian Government

    This story is true. Nothing has been changed to protect the innocent. I e-filed my and my wife’s 2015 tax return in March of 2016. My wife’s was processed and sent back within 2 weeks. I received my assessment in May. They had somehow overlooked the fact that I was married and withheld $3600...

    Another 4 years of this

    I’ve spent my career in robotics – although not for much longer – and I believe that designing something for a zero-gravity environment would present many more problems than actual working conditions in zero gravity would solve. I think there are a couple of key challenges. Robotics, or in...

    Muslim Issue - Why this cramming?

    Its a recipe for disaster in Canada as well. Maybe not today but in a few years time. My youngest son is in grade 10 and there is a kid from Syria in his Academic Math and Computer Science classes. The kid just come to class, ignores the teacher and plays on his phone. He refuses to hand over...

    All in The Family

    Johnny Speight was a great writer. So was Alan Bleasdale. The English seem to be blessed with more than their fair share of great writers. "Georges Last Ride" and "Yossers Story" from the Boys from the Blackstuff series were a amazing. So entertaining but so painful to watch at the same time.

    Suzuki Van Van

    I guess those days are gone now and they will never be back. I was trying to find a picture of our RV but I'd have to go through boxes of old photos, but it looked this, same color and everything The styling hasn't changes a lot in 40 years I feel old now :(

    Suzuki Van Van

    I like it. Trying to think of a good use case for it. Used to have a Suzuki RV125 at the cottage when we were kids and used it to go back and forth to the store. No license. I doubt very much if you could do that today.
