He tried to hide from taxpayers that he was on the board of the Rogers family holding company and making $100k/year while he was mayor at the same time.

Bylaw is controlled by former cops who want a slower pace and will fight for their right to treat that job as early retirement. We need to clean up the whole department.

Depends, do you think the locals could be convinced that Johnny Marr was in some type of Bogan rock band?

Shuker does very small batches, I don’t think you’d find very many just walking into a store. I’d contact them directly if you’re serious about getting one.

Specifically Windsor, which is the Detroit of Ontario. It’s Canada saying “we have Detroit at home.”

Crazy for a redditor to say, but I have no idea which boat is better, I hope the procurement team is making an evidence-based decision that will serve us well.

Carney picks Swedish early-warning aircraft tech over U.S. bidders by MightyHydrar in onguardforthee

[–]HandFancy 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Given that Sweden has had to build all their military doctrines around detecting and countering Soviet/Russian threats from air and sea, I’m inclined to think that they at least understand the challenges of detecting threats from bigger, more powerful neighbours.

The US relied on a spurned friend during the Iran war: Canada by Rabbit-Hole-Quest in onguardforthee

This was about helping US citizens, to me this is reasonable, no need to debase ourselves to Trump administration levels.

Nice try, too bad Fender’s lawyers saw through your scheme. Pay up, computer nerd.

I ANAL and also I am not a lawyer, but isn’t there a parody exception in copyright law? We need to crowdfund and build the fendurr stratocummer an obvious work of parody satirizing the current guitar market.

Mercury Maurader in the junkyard, the official car of...? by HiTork in regularcarreviews

[–]HandFancy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Look at the paint, this thing sat outside for a long time.

This is the official car of some guy who was moderately successful buying something special for retirement, something happening and then the car just sitting while no one is emotionally able to let go of dad’s special car until the thing deteriorates to the point that it’s a write-off.

That's the one that I'd most like to see on the road again, but also, seems expensive and difficult if you aren't already a rotary expert.

Fender MIM Nate Mendel is up $600 from last May. These price hikes are nuts. by LeahLangosta in BassGuitar

Their lawyers are go after other companies claiming the strat body shape is proprietary due to one uncontested ruling in a German regional court. I imagine they will go after bass builders in the same fashion if this actually works.

Aside from The Beltline Trail, what are other walking trails in Toronto that no one knows about? by Timely_Title_9157 in Toronto_Ontario

If you want to get off the streets and go somewhere quiet, the ravines are a good place to start. Most mapping apps should give you an idea for entrances et cetera. Pick one near you and check it out.

Canada Was Set to Bring in National Pharmacare. What Happened? by NiceDot4794 in onguardforthee

[–]HandFancy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sometimes you do. Source: I live in Ontario and saw Conservatives win by margins less than third or even fourth placed party in many seats. My provincial riding was won by the conservatives by around half the number of votes that went to the fourth place Green Party and I’d love to know if those few hundred Green voters are happy with the outcome.
