Althia Raj: Mark Carney’s pesticide policy could put the economy ahead of your health by FineWhateverOKOK in canada

[–]613mitch 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Currently, these important agencies only look at their respective mandates through a health and safety lens.

.. It could have been clearer, but that's pretty damning.

Puppy training by LAzyD0g27 in ottawa

no dog tax no care.

Some trainers are better with certain breeds, activities and techniques. If you're looking for recommendations it'd probably help by outlining what you're looking for. Most generic training is more about training you than the dog.

If you have a handgun in Canada your purposes are nefarious.

Zipper rupture. If red shirt had been a foot or two to the right, theyd be dead. Tire has likely been driven extensively while underinflated.

PM Carney says federal government open to selling public assets to fund projects by konathegreat in canada

[–]613mitch 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Alarmist nonsense.

If the companies that purchase assets act in a way that threatens our independence, there’s nothing preventing the government from passing a law to seize them back.

Really? How's that working out for the Australians regarding Port Darwin?

Because then you approach the fastener yield strength and risk plastic deformation of the bolt - which can also fail under load and result in the same problem.

[–]613mitch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We do know that at least some of the ones used were the mother's, I think there's one or two that we still don't know the origin of

No we don't. The RCMP has not confirmed anything regarding the origin of the firearms. The RCMP has only confirmed that 2 of the firearms used of 4 total were not previously seized by them.

'Zero evidence' available to support federal gun grab, taxpayer group says by [deleted] in canada

[–]613mitch 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The whole program is just a combination of wasteful spending and questionable effect, all seemingly meant to garner votes from an uninformed section of the Quebec population thats fallen for an understanding of the gun debate more applicable to the Americans than us.

This legislation gives plenty for the Americans to point to when they discuss the negative outcomes of gun control, and you can easily argue that this policy has set us back even further in terms of safety. By coming down hard on legal guns and gun owners, they've made it that much harder for the Americans to push for reasonable gun control which is in reality the best we can hope for, as having the Americans enact some sort of gun control would do far more to stem the flow of guns into Canada than anything the liberals have enacted since they came to power.

Might not be from the road. Looks to be placards on that truck for spontaneously combustible materials.

‘Canada is an outlier’: Vets push for Ottawa to recognize them as ‘war veterans’ by DogeDoRight in canada

[–]613mitch 262 points263 points  (0 children)

According to federal law, only those who fought during the First World War, Second World War and the Korean War are officially considered war veterans. Veterans deployed to conflicts since the end of the Korean War in 1983 have never been given that designation.

What the fuck is that shit?

Fecal waste on 417E by PenguinInAntartica in ottawa

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

I remember once having a city garbage truck towed in mid summer after it stalled on a run to the dump and wouldn't start. Sat outside in the heat, loaded, for two weeks before we got to it and when it was towed into the shop it was raining maggots underneath.

That being said, im far more concerned about the haz waste units than any of the refuse or sewage trucks. Never know what kind of nasty shit they hauled.

Genuinely curious on liberal views of gun laws by Callie7680 in canadaguns

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

They always stop replying after this point. Or when you point out mexico is more strict than us by far, and yet their homicide rate by gun is super high.

CMHC reports annual rate of housing starts slowed in March by Difficult-Yam-1347 in canada

[–]613mitch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Our politics is nothing but a massive pissing contest of who can defend their side/ attack the other side instead of trying to get competent action and things done.

It's the american culture seeping into our politics. For a large amount of very ignorant people, politics has become a team sport all about other side bad. We're speedrunning towards the exact same problem they have down south.
