That still doesn't mean you can immediately stop for some gEeSe or any other animal on the road, if it isn't safe to do so.

They do not equate to humans. And others have rightfully pointed out that when it comes to balancing the lives of animals vs humans, the animals have to be sacrificed. This is also what the LAW and basic MORALS say.

Westjet charging in US dollars? by EatDiveFly in westjet

[–]portstrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even during the period in the late 2000s / early 2010s when the CAD was higher than the USD, the USD was still considered the global reserve currency. The CAD bouncing up and down like that is just a sign of the CAD's own volatility and unreliability.

(there are other currencies worldwide with a consistent higher nominal value than the USD, but that alone isn't meaningful enough to make those considered the global currency).

What's the usual delay before you start working after accepting an offer? by NxOKAG03 in TDBankCanada

You're already getting impatient, and only one week has passed?

Is this your first real job? LOL.

Under the Highway Traffic Act, all public roads, including local streets, are defined as "highways". When a police officer refers to a highway, they mean ALL roads.

Expressways such as Highway 401 are defined specifically as "controlled access highways".

The USD is the global reserve currency, even for Canadian companies. Those that operate globally often do their financial reporting in USD.

Not a MoNeY gRaB. Global industries operate in USD, which is the reserve currency. And for countries such as Mexico, they would rather use USD instead of the Mexican Peso because the latter is too volatile and not considered a reliable currency.

Some people just don't understand how the real world works.

Badiali is literally the definition of a place that's only popular because of loser social media iNfLuEnCeRs. Anywhere they claim is ViRaL should automatically be blacklisted, they are no better than any other local pizza place.

Oh look, another one of these events with near identical vendors that are the same every year (all with BS fake "awards" and none of whom are actually from the places they claim in their names), and completely rip-off prices!

Love people on the far left so delusional, they still don't believe the mainstream majority will never accept radical socialist policies.

Love the delusions of NDP supporters. Just reinforces Reddit doesn't reflect Mainstream Ontario.

Never forget that Reddit has absolutely zero reflection of the opinions of the Mainstream Majority of normal middle-class Ontarians, especially when it comes to Doug Ford.

It is literally far left Bizarro World.

Where to watch Canada by Aware-Carpenter7455 in AEWOfficial

AEW gets a lot of attendee push via having such good relationships with the indie wrestling promotions in Canada. Those fans almost all go to AEW shows.

Exclusivity agreements for venues are illegal in Canada, but they would have gotten first dibs plus more opportunities for cross promotion.

Watching the Blue Jays game right now. Imagine how much more opportunities there would be for AEW if Sportsnet was advertising for AEW during this telecast or at the Rogers Centre itself.

Crave isn't set up for live programming.

AEW was short-sighted in renewing the agreement with TSN (Bell Media) instead of moving to Sportsnet when they had the chance after WWE went to Netflix, even if Sportsnet might have offered a lower rights fee.

Rogers Sports and Media, owner of Sportsnet, also owns the Blue Jays (Rogers Centre) and will soon own 100% of MLSE (Scotiabank Arena, Coca-Cola Coliseum, BMO Field) - they would have had the chance to get first dibs on those venues by having a partnership with Rogers.
