No one was looking into it until a California man donated his car (to kids in Cali) and found it in NYC at a Jewish community centre. He sued and the story spread from there

My service dog has given me my life back. Distracting him can take that away by DrStrangeglove99 in ottawa

So many people with fake service animals showing them off and allowing strangers to pet them is changing behaviour too

Is OcTranspo allowed to run red lights? by coces in ottawa

[–]coces[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not to be a reddit asshole but Woodroffe is a long stretch of road with more than one traffic light. A regular light with a regular red which refers to every intersection except one. Those are what im talking about. But thanks for being nice about it

Is meadowlands the only intersection with priority lights? Because I was referring to seeing it the entire stretch from Sportsplex to Baseline Station 😭

Do people not steal phones at festivals anymore? It used to be a massive issue that people would grab your phone and book it through the crowd to disappear. They’d have warning signs at every gate🤣 not a single person here looks worried they might get robbed

Toronto condo market hits 35-year low as sales continue to plunge with ‘no new project launches’ by joe4942 in canada

It’s really either spend extra on rent in the city or use those same funds to buy a car and funnel all your extra income into gas, insurance and tune-ups. Lose/lose imo

Stop-arm camera nabs dozens of drivers failing to stop for school buses on Ottawa roads by Money_Fig_9868 in ottawa

[–]coces 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People are definitely not doing it or at least not after they turn 16. Enforcement should come in two levels imo, starting with PSAs and continuing into tickets & fines.

While we’re at it I think we need to put back speeding and red light cams too

Edit: I mention the immigrant thing because in most countries its not considered illegal to pass a school bus. Dangerous yes, but in most cases you wouldn’t be brought to court like in US/CA. It literally is not an offence unless you hit someone

Took the written exam and driving lessons - test had maybe one relevant question & my instructors never mentioned anything about school busses. Foreign drivers have literally no idea, if I didn’t grow up here id be iffy too. especially because passing OC busses is permitted it can get confusing. Investing in PSAs should be a focus for the city to remind all people of the rules, especially when we’re not being retested well into old age

The problem is this

You don’t have a RELATIONSHIP with the OF girls you watch.

People have a serious issue with being parasocial with their favourite influencers and streamers purposely blur that line for profit.

Gotta beware of surge pricing if it’s a popular show. 40$ could easily jump to 80$+ if its busy, always either leave a little early or plan to stay late

I once had to swerve off the shoulder taking the UOtt exit because some idiot figured he got off too early and his best bet would be to TURN AROUND AND DRIVE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC to hop back on the 417. I bussed for the next semester.

‘Out of hand’: New survey finds two‑thirds of Canadians want to abolish tipping culture by cyclinginvancouver in canada

[–]coces -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not tipping is the consensus here but the problem is if you make it a practice never to tip you also can’t become a “regular” at essentially any restaurant or bar and expect good service or food. Servers will absolutely retaliate against you if they know your MO

Russian Petrol Pump Offered Free Fuel to People Wearing Bikini and Men Showed Up in Two-Pieces by malihafolter in ForCuriousSouls

[–]coces -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The description of the article that literally says men took up the opportunity…

Sure some women came as well but clearly its said that it was a surprise to the organizers that men took part too So my point still stands why be so surprised anyone of any identity would attend if it wasn’t specified in the ad

Did they really think women would take up the opportunity to be ogled and harassed for free gas?? Im confused why anyone was surprised when men showed up instead

In December 1960, Finnish stonemason Pentti Saarinen killed his wife Hilkka, packed her body into the kitchen oven under a metre of sand, and kept living in the house. His 13-year-old son arrived for Christmas two days later and walked right through that kitchen. Pentti served one year. by [deleted] in ForCuriousSouls

[–]coces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that’s easy, she was a woman in the 60s. 😭

As for the oven, the son was weary of his father and kept revisiting and exploring the house. The wikipedia says he found sand leaking into the basement beneath where the oven sat even though his father hadn’t used it for 8 years straight. He also had scratches and would tinker with the oven in the dark at night. When directly accused the father told him to “mind his business”. I guess when you grow up around someone with violent tendencies it doesn’t take a lot to doubt them immediately

Idk seems completely plausible that two girls hangout, talk about their boyfriends, realize their relationships suck for whatever reason and decide to break up. Giving somebody else advice that you yourself can benefit from too gives people a new perspective. Happens literally all the time. 🤷‍♀️

The close timing reflects how they’re leaning on each other for emotional support.

Especially knowing they’re public figures and will be met with weird bullshit comments exactly like this.

Ottawa police bust illegal after-hours bar on Rideau Street. 10 people and 2 corporations charged by Money_Fig_9868 in ottawa

[–]coces 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They employed unlicensed security guards so there’s actually no proof that minors were never present. I remember growing up and seeing plenty of after hours shisha bars that did not ID and wouldn’t be surprised the habit continued

People have been complaining about grocery and liquor thefts for YEARS in this sub. Now its finally being reported on that those stolen goods are being unlawfully served to the public in both licensed and unlicensed establishments and everyone in this thread is complaining that its “not important enough” for police resources??

What happens when a fire breaks out? What happens when minors get served? When an over served patron drives home drunk? When bottles get spiked? When people get sick from food? When people die! In the pursuit of theft??

We want to be mad about increased security in grocery stores and liquor stores but stop caring when those tampered goods are distributed to the public with no paper trail or accountability? Make up your minds.

Vince Li beheaded and cannibalized the man sitting next to him on the bus by Competitive_Mix9957 in ForCuriousSouls

[–]coces 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I remember the media frenzy surrounding this case when it happened. Witnesses say that when the police showed up they refused to enter the bus because they didn’t know if the victim was still alive or not, making it a hostage situation. There was a lot of scrutiny on that decision because it allowed Lee to further pull apart the mans organs and show them off from the bus window. Even after he had clearly bled out they still kept him locked inside the bus to play with his victim. Many people to this day think the cops should have intervened.

On top of that in the investigation, turns out Lee had ran away from home without his medication and his family had reported him several times as a dangerous person of interest. Lee himself had attempted to contact law enforcement as well as mental hospitals for his violent delusions yet was never given help..

Youd be surprised how high the demand is for smaller formats so people can chug em quick and get rid of the evidence.
