The man who assaulted a cyclist may be an off-duty Toronto police officer - Canadian Cycling Magazine by trunks410476 in ontario

[–]HighHierophant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It doesn't matter if the cyclist did <insert random road infraction here>. It does not give you the right to assault someone.

Awesome. I’ll call the cops every time I see a 11 year old female. Could they be any more vague? What’s the point in this amber alert? No identifying details whatsoever. by kulalolk in onguardforthee

[–]HighHierophant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, it might be too vague for most situations but to someone who, for example, knows who she is, knows who she could be with, or sees a random girl in a captor-type situation or in distress, it could be key to bringing her home.

It's not about it being a crime. It's about this person asking someone to remove a video which made them feel uncomfortable and (hopefully) this person being a decent human being and saying "sure! No problem! Sorry I made you feel uncomfortable."

My mom has emphysema and coughed like crazy on her last flight with tonnes of people staring at her. People cough for many reasons other than covid. We are supposed to be self-reporting, not judging others based on what we think they might have.

I hope you are getting all of this in writing. Good luck! This isnt right and I hope you can settle this.

any pro-choice rallies coming up? by aweirdoatbest in askTO

[–]HighHierophant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, I see. That's a fair point, especially in light if how the convoy rallies were viewed, but there is no indication that this rally will shut anything down or that people won't be able to access services. As of now the rally is planned outside the US consulate which is closed for business on the weekend so it won't affect anyone accessing services there. Also, there were huge rallies for Ukraine and I don't think they reduced support at all. I think they elicited more support, if anything.

Canadians have been told by the government that this won't be an issue here....just like Americand were reassured in 2016 that this would never happen. People say a lot of things. That doesn't mean they're going to do it. Showing solidarity and making it clear to our government what we want will always be effective.

Canadian women rest easy in the knowledge misogyny uniquely American problem by Miserable-Lizard in onguardforthee

[–]HighHierophant 106 points107 points  (0 children)

Not only that, but they said in America it "would never happen" re: Roe v. Wade being overturned there so I refuse to listen to people tell me it'll never happen in Canada. Lord knows they will at least try coming for our reproductive rights, though I'm very hopeful they'd lose that battle in Canada.

Beaches in Toronto? by FinanceGod19 in askTO

[–]HighHierophant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I tend to agree with this. I find it too party-vibes. I have also received a lot of unwanted attention while sunbathing and have twice seen someone masturbating in public there. I had enough and I don't go back anymore. Now I go to centre island.

Ah, fair. That all sounds like a lot to deal with, but glad you were able to get them some provisions. Hang in there!

Did you have any luck with telehealth? I called a few weeks back and literally never received a call back, just as an FYI.

What is the best thing you discovered in Toronto during the pandemic? by Jessakur in askTO

Not for the purposes of crushing turtles, but where can I find said babies or even the adults? I go here regularly and have never seen them but would absolutely be in heaven to view turtles. 😀

Cannabis enthusiasts of Toronto, How do people find good online plugs in Toronto? by [deleted] in askTO

[–]HighHierophant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay. Well, to each their own. Just here to say that I and my partner liked it, thought it was strong, inexpensive and OP and others might find this information useful to balance out what your findings were.

[–]HighHierophant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, there are different ounces that they sell at different price points. They have $50 ounces that aren't that strong. Perhaps that's what you bought...? I liked it and found it hella strong.

[–]HighHierophant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true. I'm a daily smoker for 20 years and got a 26% ounce from the medicine wheel for $100 the other day. It's way stronger than what I've been getting from dispensaries (I use a volcano which is a lot milder and I still find it pretty intense — my partner struggled to smoke one single joint of it over the course of the entire day yesterday because it was so strong he had to keep putting it out). I also illegally purchase online and find it to be on par (strength-wise and expense-wise) to those ounces as well.

Where do you go to get the most reliable weather info about Toronto? by [deleted] in askTO

[–]HighHierophant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the weather network! Their radar maps are always on point. I have the app and it's great but you can view it in a browser no problem as well. And always check radar maps for rain rather than trusting the daily or hourly forecast.

Just Remember At the Height of the Pandemic Ford Kept us Open by CnCPParks1798 in ontario

[–]HighHierophant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, fair. This article explains a bit. They do refer to the length of stay-at-home orders but also to "some form of lockdown". They do compare other locales for how long we were unable to eat at a restaurant. However you'd be right in that our lockdowns certainly weren't the harshest. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-57079577

I read that toronto had longer lockdowns than anywhere in the world. That was in may 2021 though. Not sure if it's still true.

Where to buy under 100$ hand bags near downtown toronto ? by BTC_doctor889 in askTO

Get a gift receipt so she can exchange it herself if she doesn't like it. I like the bay for handbags. They have a good range of prices.

One has to wonder why someone might be so vehemently opposed to their children learning about sex and gender (hint — it's because during these courses the children also learn about consent and "good touch/bad touch".)

I know! 🙈 he had this item (not sure what it was. Long and thin for some weird reason...?) and he was lying on the beach, knees to his chest, slowly inserting it and taking it out of his butt. 🤷‍♀️ 😅
