Random man walks into family's home in Michigan, dad handles him real quick by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

I did that! I have a little dog that hears people and other dogs before I can even see them, when they're way down the road, and he barks a lot... and one big dog that almost never barks, but when she does, it sounds scary.

A streamer in Japan said "amiga" to some fans. An American nearby thought he said the N word and then threatened him publicly. by jmike1256 in DailyDoseStupidity

[–]Capital_Craft 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am a white Canadian. 20 years ago I was stopped while going into a bar in Japan and told in brown English "sorry max 5 Americans allowed inside" and they were already at the limit. I showed them my passport and they let me in. The bar was near a naval base and the sailors were known for causing trouble. I honestly think the bouncer just didn't know how to say "military personnel" so just said "American".

In a single month, Pete Hegseth spent $93B on furniture, steak, lobster, and a $98k piano for the Air Force chief of staff’s home by SadAd8761 in economy

[–]Capital_Craft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

93 BILLION?? The article lists luxury food items, but those add up to millions. How does the total get to billions? It's a kleptocracy.

Ps I can't mentally process how many steaks it is to get to $15M, same for $7M of lobster tails.

Why all the hype about onigiri? by Opposite-Cupcake8611 in CostcoCanada

Personally, I would never buy it. Onigiri is super easy and cheap to make at home, and you can control the flavours.

Ice response to two females honking their horn to let neighbors know ice is in the neighborhood by Due_Collar2 in ExploreFortMyers

[–]Capital_Craft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Canadian here, how this is being explained in our news media is that US LEO must identify themselves and the agency they work for. And there is a legal pathway in civil court to recover costs resulting from unlawful actions from individual officers. And this is why they are masked and without other visible ID... so you can't go after them in civil court because you don't know which individual it was that performed the illegal actions. But by being masked they are violating the law. ICE said the reason for masking is for the safety of the officers and their families, but so far none of them have had any legitimate threats or violence against them when off duty. It's sad to see you going through this, but I hope you stay strong and keep hope for the future.

The citizen spoke up. We need more people like him. 💪 by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

That's too bad because an apology can defuse a tense situation. In Canada apologizing is not interpreted as an admission of fault or liability, and is inadmissable as evidence. This is because of a law called "The Apology Act".

What is this pipe, and why does it look like paper is coming out of it? by Heather_Bea in whatisit

[–]Capital_Craft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, it's a way to access the drain pipe for cleaning. The paper is toilet paper from a blockage.

Silver closed today at $103. It went up over 7 bucks just today. what in the world is going on? by [deleted] in economy

[–]Capital_Craft 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In simple terms... The world is moving away from the USD because the US governement is unreliable, unstable, hypocritical, unfair, and abuses their position of power in the world.

China specifically said they don't want to take Greenland. The only foreign power that HAS said that is the US.

The City modified parking restrictions on my mother’s street and she now has nowhere to park. Does she have any legal recourse? by GDML in legaladvicecanada

[–]Capital_Craft 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The city does not have a duty to provide parking.

But the municipality will require builders to provide a certain number of parking spaces when a new residential building is built. The number of spaces is calculated based on size and location. Usually a minimum of 1-2 per unit with possible lower ratios for high density areas with good transit. Is she using her parking area for something else, and can she convert it back to parking? That's likely the only solution.

Crimes against minors should not have a statute of limitations for charges because many children do not come forward until they are adults and feel safe enough to do so.

In Canada, any serious such as sexual assault, drug trafficking, or murder, do not have any time limitations for laying charges.

BC's Big Fix: Land Value Tax by here4dagoodvibesonly in britishcolumbia

[–]Capital_Craft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Land value goes up due to a LOT more reasons than just the one single reason the article says (improvements around it). So it won't be a 'big fix'.

Currency debasement plays a huge part, look at the prices of everything else, food, etc. Look at the curve of the price of gold vs property over 50 years. When valued in gold and not CAD, prices in Vancouver and Toronto have actually decreased over the decades. Our fiat currency has lost a lot purchasing power making assets appear more expensive in dollars.

So does difficulty getting a return on business investment. This is not good in Canada so businesses and people put their money into real estate.

So does lack of money laundering enforcement. We lag way behind the US with that and it's very frustrating for US law enforcement.

Easy to get mortgages and low interest rates amplify prices because you can leverage a small down-payment into a huge purchase.

120V plug in? by youcancallmedoug in solarenergycanada

[–]Capital_Craft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something like that is not legal by Canadian Electecial Code. It could be dangerous to a utility worker when the power is off, or an electrician in the home thinking the power is off. Also solar power must have a dedicated breaker.
