Ive heard of an upcoming popeye horror spoof where popeye is haunting an abandoned spinach canning factory or something.

This reform is especially important because kids can’t vote. They can’t vote for a local politician to provide bike lanes for them. Kids of course can’t drive either so many have almost no freedom of movement outside of their suburban street. Public transit and safe bike lanes can massively increase the access to mobility kids and teenagers have.

This access to mobility can help them build confidence, independence, and navigation skills. It can help them get to school, work, or recreational activities. Forcing kids to rely on their parents for movement is not fair.

This Source clears up that the majority of gun crime is commited with hand guns, which have now been banned. About half the hand guns were originally obtained legally, but very very rarely used by their legal owner. I claimed that legal gun owners rarely commit the crime, i made no claims on the origins of those guns.

Legal rifles, like the one used in this incident, are very rarely used by either their owners or others to commit crime. Banning rifles is unlikely to significantly reduce gun crime. The guns being used are already banned. A legal firearm in the hands of someone without a lisence becomes an illegal firearm. Just like a restricted weapon is illegal for a PAL holder but not for RPAL holders. The focus needs to be on illegal firearms and the flow of firearms from legal sources to illegal sources (theft and black market sales).

There is also the point that if the police don’t have guns, who can safely respond to gun crime? The majority of gun crime in Canada is committed with illegal handguns.

They should have left 2 years ago when they first felt unsafe. I get wanting to stay together for the kids, but if they are a threat to you, they are a threat to the kids as well. Getting the kids away from the abuser and getting restraining orders would have been a good course of action at that point.

We need more resources available for people in her position, so they don’t feel forced to stay with an abuser for the sake of the kids. Those resources need to keep the victims safe, help care for the victims, provide a safe place for victims, and maybe even provide safe ways to get the victims away from abusers.

People drink and drive killing innocent people as well. We haven’t banned all cars and alcohol. It is impossible to stop all deaths but villifying the gun as the worst part of this is disingenuous. This victim was scared for years but never left or searched for help. We need more resources to protect the victims and make help available to them. We can ban guns all we want, it wont stop abusers from being violent. More resources for victims will save more lives and prevent more abuse than just banning guns.

Legal gun owner violence is incredibly rare in Canada. I’d rather focus more resources on illegal firearms.

In a case like this with domestic abuse, the abuser would have been able to assault them just as easily with a kitchen knife. The gun isn’t the problem here, the abuser is the problem.

Edit: many firearms traning courses instruct firearm owners to notify police of potential violent or abusive firearm owners. The police can then do a follow up to check in on the gun owners and determine if they are safe enough to continue owning firearms. Many training courses also recomend both partners aquire training and a lisence even if just 1 intends on owning firearms. This increases safety for both partners as they are both aware of the laws and safe handling of firearms.

The family had been worried for years about the abuse and behavior of the abuser. We need more awareness that you can ask the police to check in on someone who you believe to be a danger with firearms.

Bollards save lives. All pedestrian areas should be protected from cars by some kind of physical barrier. This protects against intentional attacks and drunk driving incidents.

But the tax payers will have to pay to fix the burnt stuff so why should some oligarch care? They have money to make today if they clear cut the forest and drain the wetlands. The future generations can deal with the consequences.

Carbon tax to incentivise using less gasoline yet Ontario just made bike lanes illegal.

The carbon tax is almost useless without viable alternatives to carbon based fuels. Just build the electrified transit and make it possible for people to exist without a car. We’ve had solutions for decades, we need to stop profits from interfering with these solutions.

Transit is also good for density, something that could help alleviate the housing crisis nearly every city is facing.

It shouldn’t be this difficult to change party leaders. The party works best as a team, if most of the party wants a new leader, they should work amongst themselves to elect a new leader for the betterment of the party.

Inexperienced people find lots of reasons to go into the woods. Drunken bonfires, chasing lost dogs, trying to be healthier by going for walks. Blaming this soley on believing in bigfoot is a little unreasonable.

These guys could have also died going on a regular hike, a hunting trip or any other reason to go into the woods. The bigger issue here is they weren’t prepared for the weather conditions they were outside in, that should be the bigger focus on preventing this kind of death in the future. Even if i don’t believe in bigfoot, I could i injure my ankle cross country skiing and still die to hypothermia if I wasn’t prepared.

People love to point fingers and say this is all trudeaus fault but the truth is the housing crisis has been decades in the making. Could Trudeau have done more to slow and reverse the trends? Probably but it is still a problem decades in the making with inaction from several leaders.

Have you seen the state of the development in this country? Builders would replace the walls with cardboard to turn more profits if the law would let them. They definitely need more incentive.

Love how the law lets the private company making the profits decide when a product should be pulled off shelves. Defintely no conflict of interests there.

I guess technically they pay the company that designed the self checkouts then pay their upkeep in electricity and maintaince. But just you wait for the AI self check outs. It will become self aware and start taking a cut for itself to buy memecoins.

Wastes vasts amounts of urban land on parking instead of housing or more businesses

Is often so deep in parking lots and strip malls its impossible to walk to

Cheap prices and cheap chinese manufacturing to help eliminate local competition

Massive corporation has more bulk buying power than local competition

Designed to be a one stop shop, fix your car, buy a tv and grab some food

Self checkouts pays robots instead of people in the community the store is in

The people who do work there are paid shit wages for life, often not even keeping up with inflation meaning they actually get paid less every year

Probably paying less taxes than they should be for the amount of space the business takes up and the amount of traffic generated

Helps promote car centric design which is a terribly ineffecient and expensive way to move people within an urban area.

Proper biking infrastructure could let bicycles an e-bicycles work year round. Some scandinavian countries have busy bike lanes year round and they get plenty of snow.

Agreed. Even the big lotto 649 ads in my area are just so in your face like “what are you doing? Don’t you know a life of luxury and private yachts is as easy as buying a ticket”
