From what I read in this article and what I've read elsewhere, the police knowingly broke the law. How do we create a system in which police can and will be charged when they break the law? As long as they can act with impunity, they will always be above the law.
On a related issue, how much did this cost? Would that money not have been better spent on a few hot meals and maybe a warm-up shelter with washrooms and shower facilities?
I do everything I can to avoid buying from anyone who doesn't offer postal delivery. That includes paying a bit more for the product.
In 50 years of sending and receiving parcels, Canada Post is the only carrier that I've never felt was screwing me over somehow. Especially when about a third of the stuff that starts off with a courier service still ends up at the post office because they can't be bothered to deliver to the middle of nowhere.
Same with my dad. He said that the military liked red/green colour blindness for spotting camouflaged stuff.
Depending on where you drive and the current state of the streets, old rails occasionally show through pavement in Saskatoon. Ave H and 20th Street is one location that comes to mind from my days driving truck in the 1980s and early 90s.
In the late 60s, I rode the electric buses that replaced the trolleys. Then those buses were sold to Vancouver, where I got a chance to ride them again in 1986.
This site has a good explanation of sovereign citizenship. Specifically:
In the 18th-century colonies, nouns were usually capitalized, although the practice was going out of style by the time of the Revolution. Based on that, sovereigns see secret meaning in the use or non-use of capitalized letters. For example, a "citizen" is a sovereign citizen imbued with all natural rights, whereas a "Citizen" is a 14th Amendment citizen subject to the rules and regulations of government.
While that is specifically American in context, I think the principle is the same. It's basically a kind of numerology but with the conventions of written language.
Speaking of numerology, I can't wait for them to discover that, in ASCII, adding or subtracting the value of a [space] (decimal 32) converts between upper- and lowercase. (A=65, a=97; B=66, b=98...). Surely that gives the [space] a special magic, but is it good magic or bad magic or can anyone use it? And the fact that lowercase uses bigger numbers than uppercase must also carry some significance, right?
For a fun time, use the phrase "sovereign citizen capital letters" in a web search.
Because the electricity itself is produced at coal and natural gas power plants, I guess. According to this, about 80% of our electricity comes from fossil fuels.
I don't know how other provinces operate, but I like Saskatchewan's actuarial model. Instead of a bunch of demographic slicing and dicing, the only thing that matters is your driving record.
No record means you're a new driver. Whether you're 16 or 80 doesn't get considered, just that you have a "new driver" risk profile. There are also a variety of driving restrictions that gradually come off over a few years of driving with a good record.
Build up a bad record and your premiums climb pretty rapidly. Depending on the nature of the infractions, even your driving license itself can start getting pretty darn expensive and possibly even revoked.
Build up a good record and your premiums go down and your driving license stays inexpensive.
Well said!
Whenever I read something like that, I can't help thinking of my son, who has paid zero attention to any advance since first hearing about the EV-1 or some shill with an agenda.
Personally, I'd love to have a business taking batteries no longer fit for purpose in cars and building off-grid wind and solar systems. That'll never happen, though, because at 67 I'm too old to ever see used batteries in enough volume to justify trying it.
My personal opinion is that the need for large scale recycling is still decades away. If a vehicle's battery pack isn't completely physically damaged, it is more likely to end it's life in use for stationary power or split into smaller packs for short range, occasional use vehicles, like boats, ATVs, small farm and yard equipment, and, of course, golf carts and "city cars".
Yes, I wondered how to express that. I settled on "registered". Where I live, the vast majority of on farm vehicles that can be are formally registered for use on public roads and streets and must display appropriate plates or permits. The vast majority of the rest are some combination of expensive to operate, slow moving, or not permitted to park in town.
As with all edge cases, some are worth dealing with and others can just be left as cracks in the system, at least until we see how things play out.
I think one place to start would be with ownership.
Make it illegal to sell a vehicle to someone without a valid license.
Make it impossible for someone with a second conviction to be the registered owner of a vehicle for 5 years. Lifetime for third conviction.
There are already ways to charge registered owners for the infractions of those they allow to drive their vehicle. A few tweaks should be enough to make it virtually impossible for a repeat offender to gain access to a vehicle.
Heh. I agree. My only experience with Xplornet was in trying to support people who had it. No internet is far preferable.
Tell me again why it's okay to publish this tripe. It's no wonder that so many women think men are pigs.
