Many of Canada's firearms are outdated in a military sense and the government has been continuing to ban more guns. Many fire arms currently owned by canadians would have already been considered obsolete by the cold war, especially if we are comparing our stockpile to America's.

I get this sometimes when sick. Its usally blood that came from my nose or nasal area from irritation, over blowing, or dryness. The blood gets stuck in the mucus and can come out when coughing.

Its the norm for conservative radio commercials. Constant bashing and oversimplification of the other party's plans while belittling anyone that supports it all without any mention of their own plan.

They don't need to be getting wider though. Many European models fit down tight streets with ease and carry all the same gear.

In some senses this is exactly what Trump wants. He would refuse to be respectful and get respect diplomatically so instead its a "respect me or else" stance, both in an economically and militarily threatening sense.

There's a poor attitude towards transit because we don't have a lot of quality transit. Why give up your automotive freedom and ride with the poors??? If only more people realized how freeing good transit actually is

The only solution to traffic and gridlock is providing viable alternatives to driving. If you're gonna spend all the money on a tunnel, at least put a train in there. A double track would have a way higher throughput than even 10 lanes of underground traffic.

If someone like Putin did this, republicans would call it dictatorial over reach, since Trump did it, it is patriotic.

Both times I've ever been pulled over for speeding the road was empty except me and i was going the average speed people drive on them. 3 people doing 20 over, a cop can shrug and say i don't wanna pick one to ticket. A single car not only sticks out as speeding more easily, but there also isn't much of an excuse for the cop not to pull them over.

Counter intuitively, its easier to get away with speeding when the roads are busy because you blend in. The biggest things you want to avoid when speeding and busy is agressive behaviors and frequent passing. Make it seem more casual and you will blend in with the flow of traffic.

But doing 55 in a 65 isn't unreasonable, and 95 is pretty fast and at that speed handling can become difficult on cheap or poorly maintained cars.

There are also conditions where 30 is what you'll do on a highway if its a blizzard and you're stuck behind a plow truck.

Certainly cheaper than paying for a police cruiser and all their equipment and wages. Its also less likely for the camera to be racist, be bribed, or shoot someone.

Cars are so common and speeding ignored for long we'd probably need at least double the amount of cops to enfroce traffic if we got rid of red light and speeding cameras.

It honestly frustrates me so much with the speed limit thing. On a societal level, speed (and differences in speed) tend to be one of the biggest factors in car crashes, so ignoring speeding is just accepting more dangerous roads.

On a peronal level, i try to do the limit or maybe 5-10 over (20 over is the norm in my area, even in school zones). The really frustrating part is as soon as i act like everyone else a try to do 20 over i get a ticket and my insurance goes up. This is frustrating becauae it just feels as if I'm being punished for doing what most people consider to be "safe" and normal. If it was drastically obvious that 20 over is faster than the flow of the traffic, it would feel a lot less frustrating if i get a ticket.

It can actually feel dangerous doing the limit on roads notoriois for 20-30 over. People agressively pass, tailgate and cut you off. Its fucked up but you get more dirty looks for doing the limit than you do for doing 40 over the limit. I think part of this is the north american attitude of cars being an extension of yourself. Someone doing 40 over is both couragous enough to go that fast, and also wealthy enough to own something faster and wealthy enough to afford the ticket, or at least that seems like the trend.

Also promotes higher house prices. 3% is still very low if we look back farther than 10 years.

If you don't read the news, you're uninformed, if you do read the news, you're misinformed.

Most of those are probably prerolled joint tubes

There are some valid uses for replaceable batteries. Fire alarms for example is not something i want to take off the ceiling to recharge every few weeks.

That said, banning single use/non refillable vapes is something i could support.

He needs to ramp up health issues before privatizing healthcare. Next we'll see doctors recommending their favourite cigarettes again.

There are also weather conditions that reduce air flow, sometimes for days at a time, where very little wind blows and a bubble of air keeps a lot of the pollution over the city.

this link goes into light detail of how laws were written and enforced in ancient times, starting with tribal or clan based blood fueds and eventually turning to a more societal run and funded system.

The romans had engineers and fire fighting crews. Nearly every society has had some kind of police/army/guard to enforce laws. Farmers actually opened the door to most other jobs/careers because people didn't have to rely on themselves to grow or collect their own food which left more time to become an engineer, learn math, become a salesman or any other job that could be filled.
