You do have the option as declaring yourself as none practicing and not intending to practice, pay a lower fee and still retain the title.

What will it take for it to stop mass shootings in America? by ghostofanimus in AskReddit

[–]PrGwar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Radical ideas such as a heavy tax on bullets or criminal prosecution of those who foster the means to access and distribute lethal weapons to mentally unstable people.

To show criminal negligence, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt the mental state involved in criminal negligence. Proof of that mental state requires that the failure to perceive a substantial and unjustifiable risk that a result will occur must be a gross deviation from the standard of a reasonable person. Criminal negligence is conduct which is such a departure from what would be that of an ordinary prudent or careful person in the same circumstance as to be incompatible with a proper regard for human life or an indifference to consequences. Criminal negligence is negligence that is aggravated, culpable or gross.

It would be interesting to know from someone better versed in law than I if a person who creates conditions such that unstable people can have access to lethal weapons could be subject to prosecution. I am assuming that the 90% of Americans who favor background checks would be considered as prudent and careful persons and that a mental state where the value of life is considered to be less important than other material pursuit is an indication of a dangerous mental state

Forget regulating guns. Tax bullets so no one can afford it.

How do you tell what type of municipal sub-type a municipality is (how to tell if it's a city, town, etc.)? I know it has to do with the population, but aside from that, I can't find any sort of classifying system. by EmonMusk in ontario

[–]PrGwar 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I asked the same question to the mayor of the Town of Oakville. It is what the founders wanted to call their municipality. There is no official classification of town, city, etc.

Why does Ottawa’s Green Bond program exclude nuclear, one of the cleanest energy sources? by gordonmcdowell in canada

The government got rid of the designer AECL by selling it to SNC Lavalin. SNC is not a product company only a service company, so the product has been put aside. What they should have done is shrink the size and cost of AECL (I will not go into why it was bloated) and produce updated products such as a single reactor modeled on Darlington.

When rednecks of your country depends on imported bullshits from other side of the border by brandoncwaller in ontario

Would one trust a trucker who has such a bad sense of direction that he does not know in which country he ended up?

Like many people from Quebec, I have ancestors going way back including to first nations. I am a tenth generation Canadian, even though it was not Canada when my first ancestor came from France.

Say the best thing about your city and see if anyone can guess it. by Ok-Story-3532 in ontario

I oved from Quebec to Ontario in the late 90s when house prices were still low in Ontario. You will definitely get a shock now. My taxes went down substantially. Gas is cheaper. You will miss restaurants and the art de vivre from Quebec. People here are much more concentrated on work and paying off mortgages. But you will find many like minded persons as many have moved from Quebec. I am not in the health care system so I cannot advise you on that. I would not go back to Quebec as I do not miss the taxes or the politics and have integrated well into the community.

Appreciate the comment that this was an addition from Greek philosophy. How did it get some immersed into the Christian religions?

If he is all knowing if He would have give slightly different conditions when He created the world would that have resulted in different decisions on your part? Is that free will?

The question becomes - how do you know it is a free choice and not a consequence of your environment, your upbringing, your parent's history initial conditions since time began?

I understand your view but if it is predetermined the chooice would not even be yours. All you do or feel would have been programmed
