Do you mean city hall? I worked with the son-in-law of the developer, decades ago. He mentioned that the developer was trying to buy up any private parking lots in the area, because he knew they had under-supplied parking for the building. They also hadn't included a finished basement area...

Because they stupidly pursued what they thought would be a source of revenue, rather than it being about public safety. The "loan" is from "strategic reserve funds", which means that they appropriated money, from existing emergency funds, in order to fund this debacle. It's not like it's a...

As private individuals they have no obligation to take any specific case. With that said, I have nothing but respect for lawyers who take the unpopular cases. I might rage at the time, however, the fact that they are doing that job keeps police and The Crown honest, by holding them to the...

I couldn't get a Street Views location that was any closer than that, for obvious reasons.

What they don't have, is the mandate to randomly stop people and demand "Papers!", like it's WWII Germany. This is what they are currently doing. In fact off duty Minneapolis police officers are reporting being stopped and told to identify by ICE/CBP officers. In every case it's race based. I...

So on the same grounds, but separate? Feels like a mistake that anyone could make.

Sure looks like it to me. East side. https://maps.app.goo.gl/SkX4WVtX88DdNCU86

When adrenaline is going it's easy to miss that you're in a crossfire situation. It shouldn't happen, but it does.

At least they got him, this time, and he wasn't able to "drive home and knock a few back to calm his nerves", like a BC RCMP officer.

I see the mistake. The shouldn't have charged him with both Careless Operation Causing Death (HTA) and Criminal Operation Causing Death. Under The Charter you can't be found guilty of the same crime, twice. The guilty pleading under the HTA immediately invalidated the criminal charges. Rookie...

Here's the video from this morning. There was more than one idiot, but this guy topped the list.

Stay home if you can today. It's not worth it. I was coming down the ramp from The Gardiner to Habour Street, at about 5:10am, and some complete idiot powered through TWO stale red lights (like 20 seconds stale)southbound on Lower Simcoe, cutting between me and the car in front of me, damned...

To me it felt more like she should have been shouting "WOLVERINES!"

The incident, itself, doesn't appear to be race based. Public urination can be charged as public indecency and people have actually ended up on the sex offender registry for it. In this case the officer actually was justifiably in fear for his safety. The SIU member, on the other hand, should be...

ICE agents aren't police and the scope of their duties is rather narrow. Before this godawful regime they would generally work WITH police, when performing actions away from the borders. Now they're being used like a private army.

Tactical Barbie.

I've heard reports that the woman and her passenger were "Neighbourhood Observers", who were actively tracking the actions of ICE. Given the latest spate of rush hiring and how they can't seem to abide any objections in general, this sort of outcome is inevitable. The officer who fired placed...

Government edicts, that don't come with funding, are the likely cause of things like, "Whoops, that old hotel that was quite likely more of a brothel that was designated a Heritage Building, at Yonge and Gould, 'accidentally' burned down."

I wouldn't have known the difference and as a left shooter have always had to use stuff made for righties anyway. In high school all they had were right handed bows so I flipped them over and used the flat on the bottom of the grip, instead. I own a 45# left-handed flatbow (special order 40...

It definitely wasn't hard, even with the cheap kit that I bought. It's just fiddly, which is kind of my thing anyway.
