Oh they are very competent at ruining it

"Would you kindly go fuck yourself please, thanks eh"

Calling it a rrade war is "a dangerous place to go" but continuing threats to our sovereignty is okay? The double standard is insane.

Threatens to annex country

Upset about smoke while denying climate change

Actively waging a trade war

Damm those Canadians are so rude and ungrateful with their civil boycott of american goods and travel. How could they develop such an anti American attitude? Bet this wouldn't be happening if they would just join us already so we could send our national guard into all their cities and deport everyone we don't like.

"Fuck off eh"

Some gas stations have premade sandwiches and the like. Still probably processed crap but anything is better than McDonald's

I think their comment meant to imply everything from McDs is processed crap

Starting with unskilled labor can be a path into skilled labor if you work as an apprentice in a trade. I'd say at least half of my current job relies on hands on experience from previous positions, the other half relies on my education. He is unfortunately lacking in both, and now that he's nearly 30, its gonna be harder for him to build up those skills and get a good paying job. He is so adamant he won't work for minimum wage which i get it, it sucks, but his expenses are quite low and he has to start somewhere. No one is offering a 100k position with benefits to a drop out with no experience and a 10 year gap in their resume.

He's been a good friend since high school and as much as he says he's so conservative, many of his actions speak otherwise. He doesn't have a lot of friends or exposure to the outside world right now. Leaving him behind would likely result in him becoming more extremist. If his actions start mirroring conservative values, then hes probably being left behind.

His biggest issue is he never passed highschool and has never had a job. He has no work ethic from a rough upbringing but isnt really able to put in the work he needs to. Now hes got a slew of mental illnesses which i think is in part having no purpose or meaning in life except video games in moms basement.

My parents owned a small business, they needed a general laboror and they would have picked him up and dropped him off at home. He wouldn't have even needed an interview but he kept saying he is "above physical labor". He then claims me being able to buy a house recently is all luck and due to my wealthy parents (who didn't pitch a dime) and not hard work.

I have a friend whom is upset in our group chat due to memes and proceeded to claim charlie wasnt even the bad racist guy the left paint him to be. He said he has a hard time sharing a group chat with people who would speak so harshly about an actvist he agrees with politically (there is a black member in our chat). I shared some of charlies quotes including "You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person's slot to be taken somewhat seriously" and he still tried to claim this wasn't a racist statement.

His actions and personality don't always line up with his political beliefs but its getting harder to keep him around. He & his mom has relied on welfare and our socialized healthcare their whole life (Canadian). He is part of the queer community and believes post secondary schooling should be free. But votes and supports conservative and is a bit of a trumper. I genuinely don't get it. Both him and his mom would be homeless or worse if it weren't for the social safety nets conservatives want to remove.

Its not about facts, its about him being a populist politician appealing to as many suburban voters as possible.

She's welcome to listen to what she wants, i was just surprised the respect she had for him given he wants a world where she wouldn't have rights.

My queer, female co-worker was mourning him and binge watching his content recently. I mentioned i was surprised she would listen to him given his views and she basically rebuttaled "uhm actually he does respect women, see he interviewed some porn stars and only fans girls."

The article does address this some, but the cost of bringing just 1 road up to safer standards is more than operating a dozen cameras. We've been paving, zoning, and expanding unsafe roads for decades, its gonna take time to reverse that. One decent solution recommended is to use the revenue from the cameras to improve road safety, this is what my area does and I support the cameras.

10% over is a very conservative estimate there.

Some people driving through a neighbourhood and they are five, 10 kilometres over, they are getting nailed. It’s not fair. So, I’m dead against this photo radar that they have.

Ford is upset that people are being caught and appropriately punished for breaking the law. Imagine if we had this attitude elsewhere, oh it was just fraud of 5-10% of their profits (okay bad example) or oh it was just 1 or 2 assaults.

He also complains that hes seen speed traps outside of school zones, as if school zones are the only reasonable place to enforce a legal speed limit. I swear car dependancy is slipping into the point of becoming a mental illness.

In my area they use the revenue from the cameras to fund those kinds of improvements.

Another man chiming in here, we see posts from this community on our "all" feed frequently. Many of us don't assume communities have gender restrictions. Would it be possible to get that rule included in posts text so we know about it when dropping in from all?

Not like we tax motorists adequately anyway
