    Hopefully they'll also deal with the issue of trucking companies getting suspended in BC, then authorized in Alberta, so they can continue operations in BC.

    A friend of mine did that same job for a private company at a stable in Alabama. It was connected to a teen ranch for "troubled kids" that also had a section where teens were remanded by the courts. The job entails a hell of a lot more than just that, but she got paid a hell of a lot less...

    #7 in this video shows a bit more of the incident, from the front camera, when the car took to the sidewalk.

    So, it happened again. At least there were charges. https://torontosun.com/news/local-news/mississauga-trucker-charged-hairpin-turn-caledon

    The plate doesn't appear to be recoverable from the video. It might be possible from the original source, as most website seem to add additional compression that screws with quality.

    The scary thing is it's far from the first time I've ever seen that.

    "Trained" is doing some heavy lifting in that post. I find that people learn all that they need in order to pass the test and then promptly ignore what they don't like, the minute they actually hit the road.Many people from more populated regions go out of their cities so that they can take...

    It's a numbers game, where Toronto is concerned. It has the highest population in the Province and the highest number of exclusive transit users. Ratings are per capita.

    For the record in the last report I could find online Brampton ranked #4 most dangerous city to drive in, in Ontario. Toronto was the safest, which population density and number of non drivers likely explains. The worst? Barrie.

    Amanda Schull is a bit of a Nicole Kidman look-alike. IMDB says that she was a professional ballet dancer, so I guess that explains the heels thing.

    Unfortunately it got the usual Fox treatment; great ratings but didn't outright own the time slot, so they cut it.

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    The biggest issue with the payouts is dirty officers having their lawyers use delaying tactics, to try and ride it out until their pensions kick in, while simultaneously demanding a "speedy trial" of The Crown.

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    Forces wait until after a finding of guilt in court in order to avoid having PSA charges and dismissals summarily overturned by courts, in civil actions. That higher standard required by courts pretty much makes them proof against being overturned which has, in fact, happened.

    I don't know that would be possible as that money could have long since been spent on general life, or diverted somehow. You could punitively make the former officer bankrupt, but that really doesn't do anything. What could be done is the former officer's pension could be forfeit, due to...

    IF the PTSD was "undiagnosed", then higher-ups wouldn't have been on notice. My objection is to the, "If he were to remain an officer the damage to reputation..." comment. He's been an officer for 10 years after this incident. That doesn't already bring the service into disrtepute?

    Likely no logic involved. Probably carrying a heavy load and didn't notice the slow-down in time to reduce speed. 60K pounds doesn't decelerate on a dime.

    I don't know about the rest, but really enjoyed "WonderFools."

    It's actually quite good, if you like old movies. I watched it in black and white because watching "Werewolf By Night" the second time, in colour, was just a non starter for me. I liked it a lot first and later times.
