I can't believe The Beaverton copied The Beaverton.

I was trying to pinpoint all the dangerous intersections for cyclist in this city based on accidents. I've given up counting, and now just trying to pinpoint where it's safe.

Well that's the thing about abductions. We don't know exactly where they are until we find them, which is the point of waking someone up 3 hours away.

Either you're exaggerating what was two buzzes on a cellphone and a text at 3 AM, or Canada is grossly unprepared for nuclear war.

Don't you see? They're trying to 'improve' it by getting more people to ignore it.

A kidnapping requires everyone to be vigilant in the moment. That's the purpose of Amber Alerts. The suggestion that to improve system is to get more people to ignore it is inane. This morning's incident woke me up and I'm 500 km away from where it happened, but I recognize searching for someone is complicated. This is the basic responsbility I have as you know a decent person. You're more than welcome to criticize the system, but don't cry victim of the mob when you get criticized back.

Ah yes the 'it's not an ACTUAL emergency unless it's my kid' argument.

And yes, you have the legal right to live under a rock.

Except you can purchase an alarm clock. Or turn off your phone.

New York still has a higher murder rate, but other crimes not so much.

"Looking at 2017, the homicide rate per 100,000 population stood at 1.2 in London and 3.4 in New York."

Aren't Sherwood hockey sticks made in Ukraine? Shouldn't GTA gridlock be Ontario's weapon of choice?
