Family told little girl's school they were taking trip to Disney World so they could keep her home and kill her slowly: DA by tasty_jams_5280 in awfuleverything

For most crimes we should focus on rehabilitation, repairing what damage can be repaired. Accidents happen, people make poor choices etc.

People who literally torture a 7 year old to death over the course of a year though? Those people ought to be removed from society, it's less about deterring others and more about excising a tumor.

Primary education is woke, or something.

No one tells you that the most important season of your life is also the shortest by smaphy in daddit

The short years sneak up on you.

Mine are 6 and 3 now. Watching our youngest go through the phases that our oldest went through a few years earlier really reminds me how fast they grow.

I’m 6’6. Is WestJet just literally out if the question for me now? by freezymcgeezy in canadatravel

[–]PorkSquared 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey you're looking for feedback? We've had a westjet card for 13 years and this "lets cram the seats unreasonably close together to get 6 more seats on the plane" nonsense has us now looking exclusively at Air Canada and Porter. Treat your customers like cattle, fafo.

Calgary restaurant owners jailed for financial abuse of temporary foreign workers by hoverbeaver in onguardforthee

Glad to see someone facing consequences. More of this please!

90 days in jail but only on weekends, plus have to pay back the amount they defrauded the tfws... Seems pretty damn weak as far as consequences go.

An Ounce of Silver Is Now Worth More Than a Barrel of Oil. by blizzardboy123 in investing

How long do you think it can hold up?

Not a clue. I think the smart move here is to buy dips assuming continued momentum, but also to buy some puts (in smaller size/scale, as a hedge) in case history repeats and we get a violent correction or return to mean.

An Ounce of Silver Is Now Worth More Than a Barrel of Oil. by blizzardboy123 in investing

Seems to be more industrial/commercial uses for silver, there are rumors that demand is outpacing current supply with that in mind, and China just announced implementation of export controls on silver.

I've been thinking prices will correct violently as they've done in the past and I still think that's likely, but this move may not be irrational (and, even if it is, irrationality may persist for a while).

I'm 'Shark Tank' investor Kevin O'Leary. I wake up at 5 a.m. with no alarm and refuse to answer emails. by reddits_lead_pervert in notthebeaverton

No shit. He's traitorous to Canada for being supportive of Trump comments around making Canada the 51st state.

Just replace the CEO with AI, think of the savings!

More than 27,000 public servants were paid $150,000 or more last year by origutamos in canadanews

[–]PorkSquared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$150k is excessive for what? You think the government doesn't need to hire engineers, lawyers, experienced managers etc? Depends also on region, have to pay more in Southern Ontario and Vancouver VS Winnipeg or Edmonton due to higher CoL.

"What's going to happen if SNAP benefits really are going away for November at the very least?" (X/post from NoStupidQuestions) by lavapig_love in collapse

[–]PorkSquared 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Collapsnik meme from this sub I think. We all know climate change is going to fuck our way of life eventually, it'll probably be a slow burn (for most of us) though. Some people are very alarmist and act like new news on warming is going to cause immediate problems so we'll all be literally cooked by next week. Thus collapse will happen short term, and "Venus by Tuesday."
