Even just for an hour. Until all levels of US government understands that Canada is able to disrupt their country in a massive way they will keep playing these stupid games.
Adding narrow shoulders, speed bumps and plastic bollards to the center of roads all slow down traffic because they makes it difficult and uncomfortable to speed. They also drive all the assholes back to main streets instead of taking their big-brain shortcuts through residential areas.
Speed cameras reduce speeding on the main streets by costing you money. After your 3rd, 5th, or 15th automatic ticket you will eventually slow down. You can't narrow the ridiculous 4 lane city streets in Brampton to slow people down, you can't put speed bumps in an 80 zone, speed cameras are a cheap and easy to deploy method of convincing drivers to slow the fuck down.
They disproportionately effect assholes who speed. The fines are harder to pay if you are poor but they are equally easy to avoid for both rich and poor.
Because every level of american government has failed to do it's job of maintaining stability and have instead allowed a handfull of racist, bigoted, psychopaths to start wars, disrupt trade, and directly deal pain and death to their own people.
Is the news so slow that the CBC even needs to ask?
Apple was so successful in avoiding taxes in Europe that it is estimated that it paid in some years a tax of just 0.005% on its European profits.
And that is why stealing from a corporation is not a crime. They have deprived you, personally, of benefits and services that your government can not afford because of tax dodging. They are killing you, personally, by privatizing your health care, by opposing electrification, by using single use plastics for nearly all packaging. They are keeping you, personally, poor by suppressing wages, raising prices, and outsourcing labour to markets where slavery is not only tolerated but the norm.
You can not injure a corporation, you can not hurt it's feelings. Pirate, lie, steal, cheat, get every penny you can from the 1% and use it to help the other 99.
Carney is looking less and less like the genius economy understander I was told he was and more and more like a bog standard orthodox Friedmanite.politician
My employer's stock price is 400% of what it was when I was hired, my wage has gone up 20% in the same period.
I can not wait for this house of cards to collapse. I have enough food, water, and locally stored media to barter my way though the first hump and get rescued by the Europeans.
It also COSTS an incredible amount of money. Ontario has some pretty terrible, unmaintained roads, before we start hand holding BMWs so they don't get tickets we should be repairing our existing infrastructure and maybe putting in some more bike lanes.
They punish people who speed the most. If you make the needle on your dash point to the number that is posted on the road signs, you don't get a ticket.
Yeah! And heroine should be legal! Gun licensing is oppression!
