Until they get hurt and the parents sue you

Canadian gun culture and American gun culture is very very different. Unless you are on a range or hunting, you cannot have your firearm loaded or even unlocked in Canada. Most guns are limited to 5 rounds in the magazine and there are strict regulations around barrel length. Canada also has a loose gun registry for many of the firearms sold. Canada doesn't have stand your ground or castle laws but genuine self defense is often okay after lengthy court processes.

The unfortunate reality is Sam Altman is good at business, we just aren't defining business accurately. Business is less about making money and more about networking, knowing the right people, lobbying, influencing policy, and controling company image.

Conservatives think letting them die is the "fiscally responsible" option. Even if there are mountains of evidence suggesting otherwise the concept sounds simple and "common sense" enough for their base.

I watched the video several times and tbh I can't really make out a disinctive fart noise. I also don't notice any significant change in facial expressions. Even when the lady scratched her nose, i don't notice any facial scrunching or a sneaky wave to clear the air.

Someone needs to jersey this old fart and slam him into the boards.

Why would China even care about Canadians playing ice hockey? China has probably made money making hockey equipment or hockey themes toys etc. And even if China did want to ban Hockey do we really think the PM, who played hockey himself, will ban what is probably Canada's favourite sport just for a trade deal? Does Trump think Chinese boots will hit the ground and stop Canadians from shooting pucks around on frozen ponds?

It could end up similar to the gas pump where whatever payment system is there will play ads before you pay for the electricity. You can even pay extra to skip the ads.

I think a big part of it is our human hypocrisy. This co worker calls our natives "wagon burners" as an insult saying it was unjustified to treat the european settlers like that, yet he basically arms his whole family and locks down his house if a car pulls over near his house.

He can understand a desire to protect himself, his family, and his land, but he can't show any sympathy to others who had their families and land taken away. He vilifies hitler and idolizes trump. A lot of it boils down to hypocrisy.

Stupidity runs through conservative veins. I'm Canadian and I have a co-worker practically begging for trump to come here. He called our PM Mark Carney a weak leader for standing up to trump, cause that makes sense. Yet we all know damn well that if a dem was president, Carney would be called spineless for working with them instead of "fighting for a deal."

 

The group Greater Sudbury Safer Sidewalks says surveys it has conducted during the past two years of a pilot project exploring enhanced winter sidewalk maintenance clearly show the public wants the project to become permanent

I've been having some minor issues with comments. Once a comment thread gets longer than 3 or 4 comments, accesing those deeper comment chains becomes very inconsistent/impossible. The "view more" button to see the rest of the comments will sometimes just disappear or do nothing when pressed. When accessing deep threads from my inbox or profile it will start at the top of the comment thread and fail to load/access the deeper comments, including the comment I used to navigate to that thread. Has anyone else had similar issues or found solutions?

 

The past couple updates whenever I'm browing "all" with sort set to "hot" the first few pages of scrolling is accurate but then it turns to posts that are 6months-2years old. This is only after 1-2 minutes of scrolling. Has anyone else had this issue?
