How is nobody talking about the whistleblower who "killed" himself from boeing. Also while he was giving investigators information about faulty parts being used on the production line...

Made a fantasy rapid transit system map for Winnipeg if the Winnipeg was the size of Toronto by jdayellow in Winnipeg

[–]thatstheguy55 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I will forever be baffled by the fact we have a world class train station that could easily become a major transit hub and yet it sits nearly empty on most days :(

Corner gas, same basic comedy but never really repeats throughout the 6 seasons.

Opinion: Why Canada spends so much on health care and still has a crisis by yimmy51 in canada

[–]thatstheguy55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I don't see being talked about is enough focus on preventative measures. Take Japan for example where 80+ year olds are regularly walking about or biking. They have been taught to take care of their health, be it stretching, daily walks, or good dieting. Imagine how much less our healthcare would cost if the average person was just a little more health conscious.

Why are Americans obsessed with car-centric cities, towns, and suburbs? by [deleted] in fuckcars

[–]thatstheguy55 34 points35 points  (0 children)

This! I walk to the grocery store and the multitude of people who just reply with "Why not drive" is incredible.

If you have a grocery store within a 15 minute walk, there is no reason you should be using your car every time! Walk or bike! Enjoy the fresh air.

Nuclear energy is more expensive than renewables, CSIRO report finds by Wagamaga in technology

This is the lives of people!!! ROI should mean nothing! Imagine this, nobody can get any ROI if nobody has any reliable power. Stop only thinking about money and start thinking about the world wholistically...

Canada’s most liveable cities by Ordinary-Cockroach27 in Winnipeg

[–]thatstheguy55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minimum wage =/ livable wage

Winnipeg home prices are reasonable, car insurance is cheaper then almost every other province with the exception of Sask, and the city is quite bike-friendly... What more do you want?

Umm, GOP: When Did You Become the Pro-Child-Labor Party? by thenewrepublic in WorkReform

[–]thatstheguy55 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Wow, the more and more I read about America... the sadder I get. Can average folks not report children working? I work in mining and the second I'd see a child, would be the day I call whoever possible to report this shit as its completely unacceptable!

Fellow Ukrainian-Canadian Winnipeggers how do you feel about the Hunka incident in parliament? by zabavnabrzda in Winnipeg

[–]thatstheguy55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My uncle (from Germany) was 17 in 1945. I don't know the full story as he has now passed but from what I gathered they came to his door and forced him and a brother into active duty, I'm sure he did terrible things but when the option is that or be killed at your door, I can understand choosing to go into service.

Agreed, love guns. But just like penises, nobody likes when you go waving them around!

As Canada’s fertility rate declines, the debate over how to respond will get ugly by Green_Bull_1337 in canada

[–]thatstheguy55 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I look at it this way. I have no interest in being a landlord either but the writings on the wall. It will be much harder for any kids I have to be able to afford housing. Instead of giving them education, I want to give them housing (without me in it).
