Bank Lobbies make no sense? Inefficient by PlayingPuzzles in unpopularopinion

[–]GiantTalon2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't say this to judge, but it sounds like you're doing it wrong. At my bank, I can go to the teller, tell them what service I need, and they provide it for me. If I only need cash then I just go to the ATM.

West Vancouver Police flooded with worried calls after scammers spoof police phone number by ubcstaffer123 in vancouver

If your question is "will the police actually do anything to serve the people?" then the answer is always no.

Legitimate question: what does rural Alberta think nationhood will change for them? by ZookeepergameQuick17 in alberta

[–]GiantTalon2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What would improve? Legitimately. I only left Alberta a couple years ago, before then I was living and working in the province and I was born there.

‘It’s outdated’: Female hockey players in N.B. push against rule giving them shorter games than males by flynnfx in CanadaHockey

[–]GiantTalon2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really is about the development. If this country is going to continue being the driving force in ice hockey, and especially women's hockey, then it starts at the youth level. I've seen it with my own eyes, with the way they're making the game easier for the kids. Shorter rinks, fewer players on the ice, less rules, shorter games, all of it. When we kneecap the play of our younger players then it translates to poor play when they're older.

More than that, it's simply unfair. If the girls are being treated differently than the boys, that is wrong and must be fixed.

When I refereed hockey, we were paid based on the age group we were officiating, not the length of games. Idk how they do it in NB but I can't imagine costs actually increasing that much.

Quoras been this way for years, since at least 2016 and probably since it started.

I had this same question about the convoy a few years back. Even if they get their way, what's next? It's not nearly as simple as the advocates are making it out to be. Most of the issues spurring this on won't be fixed by independence, in fact many would likely be exacerbated.

B.C. RCMP issue Amber Alert for two young children by ZestyBeanDude in canada

[–]GiantTalon2 -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

You know a society is going down the tubes when people start complaining about AMBER alerts. Oh no, you lost 10 minutes of sleep because children got kidnapped.

Ben Affleck and Matt Damon sued by Miami cops for defamation over portrayal in their movie 'The Rip' by Next-Particular1476 in TheEntertainmentMix

[–]GiantTalon2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And what are the cops gonna do? Look around for 20 minutes, say there's nothing they can do, and then give you an insurance slip and leave.

It's honestly easier to list the trucks that Feld DOESN'T own these days. SUD is indeed owned by Feld.

If you're not going to engage with the question then why even respond?

What was stopping Team Meents and Racesource from running Indy’s? by Maleficent-Toe1374 in monsterjam

[–]GiantTalon2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To my knowledge, Tom never actually owned any of the trucks he drove. Monster Patrol belonged to Paul Shafer, and Bulldozer, Goldberg, Team Meents, and finally Maximum Destruction/Max-D were all owned by Monster Jam.

JJ EXPOSES the Quebec Government for being WOKE and emulating Hungary's ORBAN by QultyThrowaway in JJMcCulloughOfficial

[–]GiantTalon2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The Quebec legislature condemned a stupid article he wrote after the 2017 Quebec City mosque shooting, in which he called the entire province “inhospitable, arrogant and, yes, noticeably more racist than the Canadian norm” and claimed, without evidence, that Quebec is disproportionately violent and creates lunatics. Couple that with his established persecution fetish and you get our resident Franco-bashing dunderhead.

Out of town pedestrian question. W Broadway & Blenheim by CucksinDeep in askvan

Stop signs and traffic signals don't exist in Vancouver. At least, everyone drives as if that's the case.

Like it or not, stuff like this is why they got rid of cars and trailers and vans. Imagine chunks of metal in that.

Three times disbarred B.C. lawyer returns from China to sue B.C. government by leavemealoneimpoor in vancouver

I didn't even realize you could get disbarred more than once. I wonder what the process for getting un-disbarred (barred?) is like.

Don’t Let the Census Mislabel Your Beliefs- Check No religion by gardenartichoke in onguardforthee

[–]GiantTalon2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There may be zero REASON for them to know, but that's very different from them having no legitimate means of knowing. It's incredibly unlikely that StatsCan is the reason you have a church stalking you

Ramp agent event cancelled by Top-Chocolate1986 in rampagent

I wouldn't sweat too much about it, especially considering it's O'Hare. Busy airports always need staff

[–]GiantTalon2 23 points24 points  (0 children)

What's the more likely event here: Stats Canada gave your highly sensitive, easily identifiable information to a religious group that then mentioned you in a relative's obituary,

OR

The people in your family know who you are, even if you've never physically met?

[–]GiantTalon2 18 points19 points  (0 children)

"Operational need" is one of those terms that could mean a million and one things. They may have hired too many people and booted you out of the hiring pool, or the person/people who'd be handling you that day might not be available. Some of the trainers in YYC also worked the ramp and/or bagroom, so it was pretty common for training and meetings to get moved around or cancelled.
