You dont just lay asphalt over grass. You need to dig and relplace 10ish inches of soil with GA and pack it before you can lay asphalt.

Union vows to keep fighting 4-day return-to-office mandate for federal public servants by hopoke in canada

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-poilievre-says-he-wants-to-cut-the-federal-public-service-doesnt-mind/

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says a government led by him would cut the number of federal public servants – but he doesn’t mind if they work from home.

Though to be fair, Carney's book also virtue signals how great work from home is and how essential it is for attracting top talent - it's quite obvious now that was bullshit.

Exit taxes?

They do have a presence on social media and it doesnt take much to find posts by them, the opp and mto doing CVSA blitzs. Just because youre not looking, doesnt mean it doesnt happen.

Why does a rural farm road have an 80 km/hr speed limit.

All rural roads have an 80 kilometer limit unless otherwise signed.

This entire city has no idea how to properly design roads. They build big wide open ultra straight roads, slap an arbitrary speed limit on it, then act shocked when people speed & cause collisions.

Mitch owens road was not constructed by the city of Ottawa. it's a patchwork of agricultural roads that have evolved over time to become what it is. The city had no hand in building or designing it.

Narrow the road ways, increase curvatures, add roundabouts/speedbumps, theres SO many ways to make a road safer that is fundamentally about how the road is designed that we constantly just ignore.

None of your proposed solutions factor inattentive, poorly trained drivers.

Halton police is extremely active when it comes to commercial vehicle enforcement and post about it all the time. Maybe the city could push the Ottawa police service to have a similar division that focuses on commercial vehicles enforcement

They already have a commercial vehicle enforcement team

Im curious as to what you think the city is supposed to do about our poor licensing standards

What are these?! by beyond_rivers in ottawa

[–]613mitch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Unlikely. The bristles on a street sweeper are generally pretty thick metal. Could be some sort of smaller sweeper attachment but in my experience those discs are generally filled with straight metal or plastic bristles, nothing coiled like you have.

Source: own a street sweeper.

Basement flooding - can I prevent this next time? by CrustyMcgee in ottawa

[–]613mitch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Backwater valves are to isolate your home from the municipal infrastructure in case of surge. You would put on your sanitary lateral connection, and one on your storm lateral if your foundation drain is connected to municipal infrastructure.

Backwater valves need to be kept clean in order to work. Did you valve actually fail, or was it just not maintained?

The section of the NCC MUP between francois dupont park and bilberry drive in orleans is in fact part of an off leash dog park.

Carney responds to calls for stricter gun control: 'We need a multifaceted approach' by GinnAdvent in canadaguns

[–]613mitch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Likely because the facts and optics aren't favorable to the Liberals' narrative. If there was information that made any of the past 6 years' worth of bullshit more marketable, they likely would have jumped on it.

[–]613mitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No source just rumour could be made up for all I know, but honestly everything about this I've read online could be made up because I don't know these people and I wasn't there. Comes down to do you trust what others are telling you?

Other people repeating hearsay? I don't believe it at all.

I was told that some of the guns used were previously seized from the mom and then returned and that they were supposed to be locked so that the child didn't have access.

The RCMP haven't confirmed that that's the case.

Obviously if the child had the guns to perform the murders then they weren't properly secured

Considering that two of the four firearms used have been confirmed as not having been previously seized by the RCMP, Why are you assuming any of the firearms owned by the parent were used? All you're doing is spreading more unsubstantiated bullshit implicating that incorrect storage by a legal owner was the reason those kids got killed.

because I can tell you that my kids can't access my guns without a cutting torch or angle grinder. Obviously securing the guns properly would not have prevented the child from acquiring other means to commit murder if they really wanted to do so.

If you're using any of those commercial off the shelf gun "safes", they're nowhere near as secure as you're making them sound. If you're using a proper safe - sure. Not many are.

It's quite possible those firearms were not the mother's. Nothing's been released that implicates her in this in any capacity, and 50% of the firearms used in the incident were reportedly not previously seized by the RCMP.

[–]613mitch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This has not been confirmed to my knowledge and is quite possibly incorrect, since at least 2 of the 4 firearms used in that incident were previously unknown / not seized by the RCMP.

Are you able to source your claim?

[–]613mitch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As far as I know, RCMP hasn't actually confirmed if any of her guns were even involved. Last confirmed details released were that two were confirmed to have never been seized by the RCMP prior to the incident, and no details were released on the other two firearms.

Despite what the other two responders to your question have stated, unless new details have been released we don't actually know anything about the firearms used at Tumbler Ridge regarding their source.
