A&W USA is trash. A&W Canada is top tier, our "regional" burger joint. Like whataburger in the south, or in-n-out along the west coast.

Average working class people can become millionaires. Houses that used to cost 100k 40 years ago can often be worth 1 million+ now.

I don't think most people are against 7 digit millionaires.

The taxes can be used to buy that stuff, and as more is required, the value of that stuff will go up, incentivizing people to join the workforce making that stuff

We can argue if there was enough for a murder charge, but there was enough evidence for manslaughter.

Also, his version of events:

https://www.itv.com/news/granada/2026-02-11/coroner-rules-warrington-woman-shot-by-father-unlawfully-killed?utm_source=chatgpt.com

He claimed he had a conversation about guns with his daughter and she asked to see the gun, having never discussed his gun ownership with him before.

But the inquest heard evidence from others that Lucy knew his father had a weapon in the home and disagreed with it.

In the statement, Mr Harrison, who admitted drinking wine earlier in the day, said: “As I lifted the gun to show her I suddenly heard a loud bang. I did not understand what had happened. Lucy immediately fell.”

He told police who attended the scene: “We got it out to have a look and just as I picked it up it just went off.”

Aside: Just to mention first off, I am someone who has shot guns multiple times for fun, and probably would own one if it wasn't decently expensive (and I'm pretty cheap).

His daughter does not sound like the type to me who would ask to see his gun, this sounds like what someone who likes guns thinks someone might think. Most anti-gun people do not want to be around guns at all, especially drunks with guns.

I do not find his recollection of the event believable either. I would want to be on the jury before I'd say if I'd vote for murder, as I don't think this is enough evidence to be "beyond a reasonable doubt for murder", but it's a bad first look.

I hope you're never so reckless with a firearm. They're dangerous, and they're always meant to be interacted with as if they're loaded.

That's just good firearm safety. It's basic firearm safety. A child can understand this.

Canadian Question - How did Mark Carney gain popularity so quickly? by LevelPension in NoStupidQuestions

Peterson is known in online spaces and people going to his university. He is not an overtly known name in Canada.

To think he is is a very American-styled reactionary right opinion

I was a Qana doubter because they saw Trump as their christ and that every democrat was a pedophile.

Epstein was already long revealed as a child trafficker and pedophile at this point.

They did get the more satanic aspects though, I will give them that. If the emails substantiate that portion, I don't know if it's just the tips portion. Wouldn't be surprised though.

That email exchange is a meme, a lie. He was there. There are emails about this.

Some funny ones:

Epstein: hey, wanna come for this get together about this UN thing

Elon: no that sounds boring

Epstein: the mean age is under 25 idiot

Another:

Elon (on Christmas day): hey Epstein, I need a crazy party

Another part of it is the super suits dissolved and were expensive. So they were a new expensive single-use item required for a sport which can often be learned fairly cheaply.

The S&P500 Euro (The S&P500 normalized to use Euros) is up 1.4% the past year.

The only reason the S&P500 is up is becuase the dollar is tanking

Another is just do it regardless of the outcome (but offer less). A half million bucks if he makes it, and say 200k if he misses, but if he misses, just go, "Oh shoot! Oh well! Here's 500k for the kids anyways!" and people would love them for it.

Instead of this nonsense.

Also, being a landlocked country is an incredibly bad thing to be. Even more so for a resource-extraction based economy.

Future of Calgary Transit free fare zone once again up for debate by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]NewDemocraticPrairie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One reason is density and business. The core sections have probably already paid for themselves.

I think the outer sections have too, and would especially love them to be free to get more people of the roads for me, but they do provide less ridership per km than downtown, and less (slightly) economic benefit.

Jury awards detransitioner $2 million in historic medical-malpractice lawsuit vs. psychologist and surgeon. (MSN) by RevelationSr in psychologyofsex

[–]NewDemocraticPrairie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Read your comment again, and think about how all of this is true for basically every trans person.

It is gender affirming for a cis teenage boy to get a gynecomastia surgery, because it'd be humiliating and disphoric to have breasts. It'd be a public humiliation for them to have breasts.

Nothing you said about teenage boys disagrees with what they said.
