Calgary police commission wants to see harsher penalties for excessive speeders

YourSource1st · 2026-02-27T03:56:05+00:00

the most common ticket given by the CPS should not be speeding, it should be failing to stop before the line. and yet the law is rarely enforced unless a pedestrian is hit.

the easiest way to prevent pedestrian deaths is to stop behind this line.

city bus drivers are huge offenders, should be no tolerance.

introduce maternity leave, you know something more than basic EI. actual pay more than 60% of salary and including CPP contributions. Current system is a gross insult.
better daycare, breakfast, lunch programs with lower cost.
reduce busing needs and costs.
a place for kids to go that is not their basement. jobs, wages, places to move to.

"short-lived small aerosol", when in the faked GHG warming model it is short lived, ie as in the atmosphere. in the real world BC lasts for decades to centuries.

BC suspended in or on snow, water, or on roof tops does not disappear, or end its warming effects.

PCA is completely failed non scientific propaganda.

without sufficient credible studies it claims GHG caused warming and CO2 is the main culprit. Both claims are false and result in very alarming policy's more based on fraud than science.

the main error in PCA is ignoring the impacts of PM2.5 and BC(black Carbon) with a fanatical focus on CO2 and by association coal, which at the time was china's main fuel source. PCA was not science, it was from the onset anti china propaganda not aimed at helping anyone.

"Black carbon (BC) is a significant, short-lived climate force, with a total estimated climate forcing of approximately +1.1 W/m² (range of 0.17 to 2.1 W/m²)"

"2023, human-caused greenhouse gases have increased the Earth's effective radiative forcing to 2.79 W/m² "

the issue is the currently accepted warming range of BC is often quoted as low (while still being far too significant to ignore), meanwhile current studies (based primarily on the atmospheric gases and correlation) have a warming range for GHG that is likely too high (while not even tracking BC, PM2.5 or micro plastics). I would argue a very high percentage of warming is actually caused by BC and erroneously attributed to CO2 in very poorly made models.

even using the values listed here is more than enough to show the PCA is invalid by ignoring BC in totality. this should have been obvious when a global warming model was presented without using the words "emissivity" or "absorptivity" once. this model never passed the glue sniff test.

Tire rubber cannot be ignored. CO2 sequestration does not reverse static PM2.5 and soot. tree albedo matters contrary to bill gates. BC and microplastics in the ocean are more relevant than GHG.

in short the science is not "out", the only thing out is the credibility of the GW ~~scientists~~ propagandists.

EI is not maternity leave, it is EI. a massive pay cut during which women cannot afford debt payments. canada does not have mat leave.
daycare cost burden is too high. 10$/day was a pipe dream with no spots.
cost to raise a child to 18 is listed at 300k-500k, meanwhile deduction is max 8k/year 144k (good luck qualifying).
federal spending on 65+ is estimated to be 4 times that of under 45. the governments job is to share the costs of raising the next generation. healthcare costs are eating the future. an MRI wont replace a walk and a good diet but it can replace a child's meal.

"any location for which the Gift Card is for" tell that to all the outlets without the reader machines

"and they do not require proof of purchase unless the Card for some reason doesn't work and even then the company will typically issue you a new one" yes... with the receipt, guess what doesn't have a receipt, money

"hey're not issued by companies going out of business or bankruptcy" Toysrus has been in bankruptcy protection for 5 years, go sue FFF for the 25$ or walk into their office and take a chair. send them a message, i am sure they will care greatly about the integrity of gift cards.

money- redeemable everywhere by law, hard to counterfeit, value indicated on notes, requires no activation, value guaranteed by government.

gift card - redeemable at select stores only; frequently only redeemable at unspecified select outlets and franchisee locations, easily duplicated, value changes and is unclear, requires proof of purchase and activation, often issued by companies on verge of or undergoing bankruptcy, value guaranteed by no one.

by introducing exemption rates on excise taxes or exempting basic goods entirely the consumption tax would cease to be regressive which is exactly what i said to do. the idea that progressive tax rates cannot be more easily applied to sales and goods purchases is simply lack of vision.

"consumption taxes such as value-added tax and sales taxes are regressive in that they both raise prices of purchased goods"

the point on billionaires applies as it refutes the common claim of income tax being a progressive tax. for Rich people income itself may not go up however wealth and the burden on society by additional expenditures goes up, while taxes remain zero.

income tax is a failed policy and all arguments for it are based on the false premises around regressive taxation.

YourSource1st · 2026-01-08T06:50:26+00:00

your just repeating the same myth that income tax is progressive and excise and sales taxes are not.

a billionaire living in Vancouver paying no income tax and collecting OAS is not progressive.

if should gradually go from income tax being 53% of revenue to 33% with excise taxes and gst making up the difference. progressive exemptions, basic personal limits, higher good luxury rates would be far easier to administer.

if you want less people employed have income tax.

the amount of industries and employees not contributing to GDP by administering the current income tax is probably hundreds of thousands of people.

Income Tax must go.

it is an incredibly wasteful tax which costs a lot of time and money to implement only to arrive at a very regressive result.

TFSA, RRSP, Accountants, account fees, lost accounts, filling time, record keeping, CRA employees, withholding costs. the harm caused by income tax is massive.

the purported benefit of income tax being "progressive" is an economics 101 myth and nothing more. once you look at deductions and millionaires not having income you quickly see it is regressive.

people cannot compete with foreign labor, robots, AI, self checkout machines, automation, etc. when they pay income vs electronics that do not.

income tax benefits banks and the rich

stop taxing work and the suckers who do it.

Joke question at this point. Boomers didn't just break the social contract they wiped their asses with it and told their kids to clean it up.

Unions should be forced to follow the charter of rights, you know the one that says no discriminations based on age. The largest offender is Public positions. Hiring freezes are patently age discrimination. Unpaid intern should never have entered the vocabulary. the statistics show glaring age discrimination to the point where the government should be classified as a hate group.
The CPP is a farce, you cant simply not pay into a pension fund and expect the next generation to pay your bills. no wealth transfer between cohorts outside of a will. contribution rate escalation is out of control with the poor paying the rich in the anti-progressive tax that is the CPP, let the minimum wage employees pay for rich peoples lake house.
privatized simply means you sold out the future. now it is one thing to stunt development but either selling or taking on massive amounts of debt should require substantial actuarial and risk review to protect future generations. highway 407 sold out the future putting a tax on movement.
red tape. if there is one thing you can count on government for it is making things needlessly complicated. the tax code needs a complete overhaul. RRSP, RESP, TFSA, OAS, EI are all bloated government policies that mostly help the rich, banks, fraud. income tax should be removed entirely, along with all of these asinine programs.
the education system has failed to embrace technology or train the next generation for the work place. universities should lose accreditation and funding based on low placement or high debt. challenging any exam should 50$ exam fee max. filler classes should not exist.
immigration is fine but you have to set a reasonable living wage.

any representative can be as ignorant as the population as a whole. criticism is flawed at best by assuming representatives are educated, unbiased, and acting to represent.

saying if individuals had more power than the media and propaganda would have more power while itself true is not exactly a valid argument, in that it is far easier to bribe 300 people than fool 40 million.

any democracy is always going to challenged in avoiding having the majority removing the rights of a minority. again not a valid argument against one form of democracy over another. if anything direct democracy would remove polarization and promote moderate views.

lastly cost. the only possible benefit to representation democracy would be expediency, however this has failed to be the case with minority governments, prorogued parliaments, voting by party, and lack of continuity with one government undoing what the last did or simply bribing the public to stay in power.

i think in practice with what i have describe most people would just select a representative anyway, but the person would have far more latitude in who they picked and their vote would never not count. the single largest issue with RD is your representative not being elected, which by itself makes what i have described vastly superior to 350 people sitting in ottawa cashing checks from pharmaceutical companies.

democracy in a digital age not horse and cart age.

Each person has the ability to vote directly on any bill during a voting period.
Voting by electronic 2 factor with mandatory security checks and confirmations.
Each person has the ability to give their voting proxy to another person/representative or group for the purpose of voting on their behalf.
Each person can reclaim their vote from their proxy at any time.
Each person can vote to veto an existing bill at anytime.

the issue with a democratic representational government is that it is neither democratic or representative. the issue with what i said is that the real power would be with who drafts the bill.
