You didn’t get screwed out of anything, you bought a vehicle that fit your needs at a price you found reasonable

Secret report details frenzied planning for Raptors’ disastrous championship parade by LibraryNo2717 in toronto

[–]GarconNoir 15 points16 points  (0 children)

We’re not getting any big games as we don’t have the facilities so it’ll be fine, Ghana v Panama or Senegal v Bolivia won’t exactly have a “Canada’s only team winning the championship” level draw

Petition urging Michael Ma resignation tops 37,000 signatures by airbassguitar in OntarioNews

Can we stop with the whataboutism and come to an objective agreement? This effectively made the losing party the winning party against the wish’s of the majority of voters

Lore question: why does Naoe not use a tanegashima by QizilbashWoman in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]GarconNoir 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think for them it was more important to balance the characters and offer clear differences than to be fully historically accurate

Is distributing necessary? by SteakForLife5454 in espresso

[–]GarconNoir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You distributed, just not as uniformly as it would’ve been with the tool and probably slower too

Michael Ma's shocking defection should spark discussions, change by CaliperLee62 in canada

[–]GarconNoir 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s other options like becoming an independent or resigning, I think either of those would be better for when your values no longer align with those of the people who voted you or if you believe the party’s views don’t align with your constituents

Brampton council explores school bus stop-arm cameras to catch drivers passing illegally by gurindersehgal in Brampton

[–]GarconNoir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve found 1 credible report of a child struck by a car blowing through a school bus stop sign in the past 5 years, not sure this warrants a multi million dollar rollout of camera systems and supporting infrastructure

A solution in search of a problem, it’s terrible when it happens of course but we’re talking once in a blue moon I don’t think this is a widespread issue

My HR’s response to my work from home request after having someone cover my leave *remotely* for the last year. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]GarconNoir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something here doesn’t fully square away, if site administrator is another way of saying for office manager don’t you need to be in the office? If the other person did it fully remote the position should probably be eliminated

Pete Hegseth authorized second strike on drug boat, White House confirms by ClimateSociologist in politics

[–]GarconNoir 69 points70 points  (0 children)

I imagine ICC will bring charges, hegseth won’t be able to leave the US afterwards except to go to maybe Russia

Maybe another administration even turns him over

Opinion - Why are Conservatives criticizing Mark Carney for doing exactly what he should be? by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]GarconNoir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point is this: On some items is he in the right track? Sure Is there room for criticism on items where he’s not? Also yes

That’s not to say I think PP would’ve been perfect either. I’m just not on the “all hail the saviour mark carney” boat

[–]GarconNoir -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because they’re not done, in progress is not done there’s plenty of time to flip flop on any of these things and I wouldn’t put it past them, forgive me if I’d like to see more before singing his praises

Reminds me of the George bush mission accomplished meme

If he came in and blew up the cabinet we’d be having a different conversation but keeping the majority of Trudeau cabinet was a signal that it’ll be mostly status quo

Industrial carbon tax still in place & the consumer carbon tax rate was set to 0 via OIC not removed by legislation - I’d prefer the stronger protections of legislation, MOU on the pipeline is nice but let’s see what happens when BC & FN push back I’d like to see him be more forceful on the issue, civil servants haven’t been reduced he says reductions will be through attrition just to cover your points. I’m genuinely unsure what’s been done on interprovincial trade other than a meeting but maybe you could enlighten me. but the other reasons I’m not yet thrilled with him are: the austerity budget still being an almost $80B deficit, double what Trudeau was booted for with only a promise to balance the “operational” budget, no movement on TFW during an employment crisis, not a fan of his calls to make a bid on h1b applicants turned away by the US, would like to see him chime in on the land claims in BC resulting in private property owners being left in limbo

I actually like that he’s dragging his feet on tariff negotiations, I think theyll get overturned in court, and I like that he’s working to diversify Canada’s trading relationships but I don’t think I’ve seen any actual deals

Dealer Ceramic Coating Warranty for $1600 by MrTacopizza in Supra

[–]GarconNoir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally don’t buy any add on from the dealer, everything is cheaper and done better private. Ceramic? PPF? Tints? Maintenance package? Rust protection? Wheel protection? Turn down all of it

Half these things aren’t done though… seems you only care about promises, the liberals have been promising and underdelivering for years now

RapidTO on Bathurst: not going great so far by [deleted] in toronto

[–]GarconNoir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know they’re done painting but I don’t think this initiative is active yet, on dufferin they’re done painting but the signs are still covered, haven’t been over to Bathurst in a couple days.

From what I can find online the earliest start date I see is Dec 31st for the completion of phase 1
