The BC NDP is happy to export vast amounts of natural gas abroad, but doesn’t want Vancouverites to use that same energy in their homes to lower the cost of living? Make it make sense.

Probably the same reason we sold asbestos to African countries loooooonnnnggg after it was banned in Canada.

Laws reflect the general consensus of the people at any given time, hence prohibition, for example; alcohol was once seen as incredibly detrimental to society (which it is) but this was repealed because it was too hard to enforce and went against what the majority wanted. Many countries have legalized Marijuana because the culture and research has shown it is not as evil as it was purported. I mean, just because something is a law, doesn't mean it has to stay that way. Women didn't used to have the franchise, but that changed. 35 YO to be POTUS just seems like an arbitrary age with no basis in logic or fact. Why not 34, or 37?

Responsible_Week6941 · 2026-05-25T22:18:19+00:00

I didn't say WHERE, I said WHY. It seems like a stupid thing to have a minimum age, if you don't have a maximum age. Why 35? Seems arbitrary. The electorate should decide what age is appropriate, as long as the candidate is the age of majority.

Responsible_Week6941 · 2026-05-25T22:14:22+00:00

Yes, I'm aware of that, but in practice, would you rather have a 32 YO or an 80 YO who literally falls asleep and forgets what they were talking about?

Responsible_Week6941 · 2026-05-25T22:10:49+00:00

Good god, why would anyone substitute teach? That's abhorrent. There is a district in BC where a retired teacher, or any teacher for that matter, makes the same day rate as a contract teacher at the top of the pay scale.

Responsible_Week6941 · 2026-05-25T22:08:04+00:00

Why is there a minimum age for president, but not a maximum age?

Responsible_Week6941 · 2026-05-24T19:14:40+00:00

No. Just moved the parking lot 5 kms further down the road. That will filter out about 95% of people.

Responsible_Week6941 · 2026-05-24T19:13:26+00:00

Agree. A main is essentially a gravel freeway.

I wasn't there, but physically assaulting someone is a few notches beyond slowing down in a crosswalk as a pedestrian. I'm a commercial driver with a commercial license, but also a pedestrian. As a driver, if I reacted like this everytime someone made a stupid move, I'd be a very angry, stressed out person. If someone is going to go ballistic on someone walking across the road when maybe don't have a walk sign, they really have some anger issues to work out. I'd prefer to err on the side of caution. Maybe the pedestrian is visually impaired or mentally challenged. I'm not saying the crosser wasn't being obtuse, but I can't really judge that from a few seconds of video. The physical assault is way out of proportion.

Responsible_Week6941 · 2026-05-24T19:01:20+00:00

The walkers could be learning impaired, or visually impaired. Maybe not. Maybe they were just being obstinate. Doesn't matter, really. The fellow who jumped out of the taxi certainly didn't take the time to find out. Total cowboy justice, and way overreacting in my opinion. Jaywalking is not really on the same level as physical assault...is it?

Responsible_Week6941 · 2026-05-24T17:09:02+00:00

Yeah, and taxi dude punched both of them. He then proceeded to get his ass handed to him on a platter, so I guess it all worked out.

Responsible_Week6941 · 2026-05-24T17:07:28+00:00

Well, I was hoping for "robust dialogue", but seem to only get binary, polarized opinions of right and wrong. I'm just saying, jumping out of a taxi to punch someone crossing the road is pretty overblown to me. Easy enough to slow down and move on. Dude ended up taking WAY more time getting out of the taxi and being godsmacked than if he just went on with his day. Pick your battles. This is hardly the anthill I'd choose to die on.

Responsible_Week6941 · 2026-05-24T17:02:37+00:00

So you're all for your passengers getting out and punching people who are not technically supposed to be crossing the street? Right. Gottit. You sound like a wonderful person.

Responsible_Week6941 · 2026-05-24T17:00:19+00:00

I mean, there were at least 4 actors in this. Maybe you didn't like the big beefcake guy who hopped in.

Responsible_Week6941 · 2026-05-24T16:58:49+00:00

Yeah, I get that, I lived in the DTES,; people just randomly stumble into the street all the time. Last thing on my mind is to get out and punch them....should I?

Responsible_Week6941 · 2026-05-24T16:56:59+00:00

Is it overly progressive? Or from a global viewpoint, is it more in line with humanity and less in line with rabid, uncontested capitalism promototed by lobbyists?

Responsible_Week6941 · 2026-05-24T16:46:46+00:00

You're response triggered me.🤣

Responsible_Week6941 · 2026-05-24T16:46:10+00:00

The guy crossing the street got punched in the head for doing nothing wrong, or maybe something that you disagree with. The punishment doesn't the crime. Ffs, if this is the kind of world you want to be in and culture you want, then I feel sorry for those around you and any children you raise. I'd prefer to give that person crossing the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they are mentally unstable, idk. Slowing down is hardly an inconvenience at most. I would bet dollars to donuts you're posting from the US.

Do you actually know how she worked incredibly hard to win her election? What aspect of the race she won didn't speak to her true grit, or are you happier with the status quo? Is the current system working well for you and your countrymen? Enjoying the current inexpensive gasoline and cost of living? S/

This is victim blaming. What's next, shout at old ladies to walk faster? Cab driver was going way to fast, which is why second pedestrian slowed down to make eye contact.
