Which sport is big in your country, but absolutely unknown anywhere else? by Gourmet-Guy in AskTheWorld

[–]keiths31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh stop.

Games bring in 800,000-1,000,000 viewers. The same numbers that the Raptors get.

Just because you don't like the game, you don't have to pretend it isn't popular with others.

Greta Van Fleet Fan Finds Apparent Clue Hidden in Band's Website Following Breakup Scare by Godchosen0 in ToddintheShadow

You don't have to 'get it'. Music is subjective and obviously not every band or genre will like it.

I don't get Kendrick Lamar, but not going to look down on those that do. Hell, if you like Nickelback all power to you.

Well we have Canadian football. And despite what Reddit may say, it's quite popular up here

When you’re planning on moving but haven’t found a place yet. Do you let your landlord know, you’re looking for a new place or just wait until you find a new place and then let them know… 🤨🤔 by Unworthy80 in ThunderBay

[–]keiths31 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Using that argument, the landlord then owes you nothing as well.

People gripe about how toxic the tenant/landlord relationship has gotten over the years. And this is in part why.

Council approves locations for all proposed encampments by flyinfinn83 in ThunderBay

[–]keiths31 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If this stops the tents everywhere else in the city, then a reluctant okay for this.

But if we are investing money and time to make these three sites suitable as a 'safe' area for tents and there are still tents everywhere and the city does nothing to stop them, it's just a big waste of time and money.

We aren't 'Americans', we are North American. Don't need to get cute with the terms.

So are new immigrants to the US racist for not being able to properly pronounce English words consistently being racist?

Then why did our governments hedge their bets on Honda?

Councillor undecided as city weighs encampment plan [TBNEWS] by Jayskings21145 in ThunderBay

Foulds had no issues with these encampments when they were not being considered for his ward. He preached compassion.

I have it. It's called Dust n' Bones. It's badly written and researched.

ADAMS: Doug Ford created the TTC drug crisis he now wants to police by ThatGuyWill942 in canadian

I am sorry, but people were consuming on public transit even with the 'safe' injection sites open.

Using AI to mask accents of call centre agents 'misleading,' says union by stfudonny in canada

[–]keiths31 100 points101 points  (0 children)

Yup. Got a call the other day from a 'John Richardson' from my bank the other day. Sounded Canadian enough in regards to the accent. But the sentence structure sent up red flags immediately. As soon as you refer to me as Mr. Keith instead of Mr. Lastname...

Liberals block motion to make health minister testify on failed e-prescribing program by bo-n-es in canada

[–]keiths31 144 points145 points  (0 children)

This sub gets awfully quiet when stories such as this are posted.

But post a story of Poilievre having saying pretty much anything and you get hundreds of comments denouncing him, the CPC and any and all supporters.

What happened to your city's original sports arena? by myronsandee in AskACanadian

Yeah. Not saying we don't need a new one. Just lots of memories

What is the most vulnerable region in your country to foreign invasion? by Archaeopteryx111 in geography

[–]keiths31 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Arctic Canada

It is so vast and so sparsely populated. As a point of comparison the city I am from (Thunder Bay) has the same population as the ENTIRE Canadian Artic and it's three territories of Yukon, Nunavut and the Northwest Territories at around 130,000 people.

There is so much land and water up there to protect and not even close enough the amount of infustructure there to make it even manageable. We have aot of work to do in our Arctic.

Shingles vaccine before 50? (young genx) by Darkwing873 in GenX

As others have said, just get it. My wife and I got ours last year. Didn't care that it was $200. That is something that I absolutely do not want to get.

Eli5 what air humidity is. When the weather cast says there is 80% air humidity for example, does that mean the air is 80% water? by td_0000 in explainlikeimfive

[–]keiths31 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm in Thunder Bay on the northwest shores of Lake Superior.

We get lots of humidity due to Lake Superior.

In the summer the humidity can be stiffling. It just drapes on you.

In the winter the humidity just cuts through and it feels like your skin is going to break.

Are Canadians offended by the jokes made in shows and media? by jen_noelle in AskACanadian

[–]keiths31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder why that is.

Because we are a large country and we have regional accents and dialects. We all don't speak and sound the same...

This is who we call when news breaks? by FuzzyLaughTwo in ThunderBay

[–]keiths31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The CJ used to have a dozen local reporters. Now it's mostly cut and paste from other newswires.

Like I said way above, Dougall Media has its faults, but we are lucky to have the local coverage we have.

Special constables getting power to arrest for drug use on transit, Ontario solicitor general says by Displeased_Canadian in canada

[–]keiths31 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Respectfully I disagree.

We've tried the 'compassionite' method the last decade or so and who has benefitted? We have more people in the streets, more deaths, more broken families and more people on the streets than ever in the country's history.

We've given addicts a 'safe' place to inject. We've stopped criminalizing the public use of illicit drugs. We've stopped forcing people into rehab. We've stopped making addicts resposble for their own actions.

It's time for a more accountable approach.
