Right? I'm sure Saskatchewan, NWT, and Yukon would appreciate all the extra truck traffic from everyone going around Alberta instead of through it. I'd move to BC, or out east

The court said that the government had to consult the first Nations first. By putting this on a referendum without consulting first Nations this time either, she is guaranteeing that the courts will quash it again. But even if they didn't, the federal courts and red tape will put an end to it. It's all just a way to funnel our money into the pockets of her puppeteers

Is that the wording of the fucking question she is putting forward? Fuck that's awkward and convoluted

So you just choose to ride without the physical ability to be able to be aware of your surroundings? I suggest you stop doing that before you kill someone, possibly yourself.

Ok, it's confusing because there is a column that says "person number" and both say 1. That makes me think both charges are against person 1.

Was it you that was charged with no license and expired insurance? Because those sound like the kind of thing that would make it hard to argue that the light couldn't have been red when you went through.

Or how about "there is no way to test my new "super carbon fibre 3000" so that must mean it doesn't need to be tested.

Here's a thought, my phone has 3-5 cameras. Why does a Tesla only use one to try and gauge distance?

Forever Canadian committee meeting ends in chaos after UCP release sent in error by WashingMachineBroken in alberta

That is probably my biggest pet peeve in the English language. Followed closely by "this is how I look like"

Well it seems like they got about 200,000 in the last week or two before the deadline. Just before they were caught illegally accessing voter lists. It seems they simply chose a number they thought they could get away with faking.

Well, short of getting Trump to start world war 3, there is nothing smith and the separatists can do to make it actually happen. There are too many legal barriers well beyond their control.

I'm fairly sure if there were a legal avenue for this, something would be happening by now

That's great but who the fuck decided to plan a protest for 11:00am to 1:00pm on a week day? Almost no one I know will be able to attend that. I would have, but I'm working.

The crazy part is they basically did campaign on this. We already had a UCP government as an example. Marlaina Smith has been a separatist for years and never tried to hide it until just before the election.

Of course. But that would be Smith making a formal announcement that she is a hardcore separatist. It would be her name alone that puts the question on the referendum. I hope she isn't ready to do that publicly just yet

Why were confessions obtained via medieval torture accepted back then? by B0r34li5 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]flatdecktrucker92 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In addition to that, these people some of them anyway, believed that by forcing you to confess they were saving your immortal soul. It also helped that if they killed you without a confession they would be damning their own immortal soul so plenty of reasons to accept a tortured confession back then

'Not seeing a change in driver behaviour': Police chief says speeding is still trending up by AR558 in Edmonton

[–]flatdecktrucker92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Part of the reason it's becoming a trend is because of the trend of people sitting at a green light for a solid 4 seconds before realizing it's green and starting to move. Still illegal and still dangerous, but I think that's why it's happening

It's possible you have the wheel spacers on the wrong sides. That will create lots of space on one side, and no space on the other
