You'd have to, like, move your pot of water and literally put flammable material on the glass top while turned on high. I cannot fathom how you think it's an understandable mistake to set a building on fire like this. The human body is infallible. Nobody has ever encountered a temporary, permanent, or intermittent condition that inhibits their cognitive or motor skills. All noted facts.

Taxis in Toronto drive like complete assholes and continually violate the rules of the road: using merge lanes to pass traffic, failing to signal, performing unsafe maneuvers, overall driving selfishly at the expense of others. Them complaining about UberX drivers breaking the rules is laughable. I'll shed a tear the day I see a Taxi driving courteously.

The Uber driver should have shook him off and then backed over him, IMO. No, you see, here in Ontario the correct course of action would be to navigate your vehicle into a stationary object, killing the hanger-on. It's completely legal, at least if you're a former Attorney General.

The exact same way that when cabbies break traffic laws, it severely disadvantages those who follow them. So boo loving hoo. Decades of their own lovely, illegal behaviour puts them in weak standing. It's like a serial murderer complaining that someone assaulted them.

THC posted:Those things could just as easily happen with an Uber. Yes, but if you're dissatisfied with the performance of an Uber driver, you can rate them poorly, leading to real repercussions, including other customers learning of the driver's poor behaviour and boycotting them, or even being fired by Uber. If a taxi driver drives like poo poo, and I call the company to complain, precisely jack poo poo will happen. When I call a cab I have no way of knowing if the driver is lovely, except that by experience, they all are. Strangely, Uber regulates the behaviour of the drivers better than our government. Sure, enforce the Uber ban. At the same time, bring stricter regulations to Taxi drivers. If they want to dominate the market, they should be forced to deliver better service.

A co-worker remarked that he saw that the refugees were out BUYING FURNITURE with a GOVERNMENT-ISSUED CREDIT CARD and he was very upset by this fact. I think it's probably a good idea not to disclose which suppliers are providing for refugees.

flakeloaf posted:Yes, that's generally how transparency is supposed to work, and I think you're ridiculous for believing that the racist morons who would boycott and protest businesses for having the temerity to help people wouldn't be immediately shouted down by the much larger percentage of the population who aren't jerks. Placating them is stupid and should not be a priority. We should stop placating criminals and disclose police movements. The larger percentage of the population that isn't criminal will openly rebuke the criminals, and that's good enough. It doesn't matter that many people decry the firebombing of a mosque. It still happened. Likewise, the retribution that occurs towards those who help refugees will still happen. Isn't limiting harm a good thing? I mean, we already know that the Liberal spending practices are corrupt as gently caress, but there's sweet gently caress all we can do about it. What's the point of forcing them to be open about it where there is a risk of real harm in revealing the information?

You would be okay demanding that the police document undercover operations in real time? I mean, those undercover cops don't need the protection of secrecy. We should just let them get killed and then prosecute the murderers.

infernal machines posted:WTF does this even mean? It means that there are no mechanisms in our political system by which we can correct corruption in a meaningful way. The federal conservatives were corrupt. They went on being as corrupt as they pleased until the day they were voted out. There will be no repercussion for the vast, vast majority of their corrupt action (if there is any at all). We can't go undo the damage caused by the corruption retroactively, and there's nothing stopping another majority from doing it again. Look at all the corruption already exposed about the OLP. Even in the sunlight, there will be no consequence for the guilty.

I'm saying that in this case, where there is a potential benefit in nondisclosure (that there will not be vitriol and violence directed at the supplier of the goods, expanding anti-refugee sentiment to more targets and resonating that sentiment through common enemies) and zero benefit in disclosure that maybe nondisclosure is not awful. I'm all for summary execution of the corrupt, but that's just not the way our system works (the way it works is that there is no disincentive or penalty for corruption).

pointers posted:wtf kind of "rural area" are you talking about that cycling is feasible. I encounter cyclists riding on rural roads with broken, potholed pavement and a gravel shoulder, marked at 80Km/h all the time. I guess there just aren't any better places to ride a skinny-tired road bike in spandex. Sometimes there's a group of them, and they want to keep a conversation, so they ride in double file as they crest the blind hill, never reverting to single file for traffic to pass. York Region sucks.
