    Ottawa police officers charged with taking bribes from tow truck owners

    Thanks for that tid bit.. I am a believer those putting their lives at risk to keep mine safe should be well paid.. so when people were saying 68k/yr was a lot, especially in a city.. I was going to disagree.. but 300k/yr is a LOT, benefits matter I guess ^^ Or maybe don't tax the military...

    Fears of rise in UK terrorist recruits as anti-radicalisation referrals collapse

    Fears of rise in UK terrorist recruits as anti-radicalisation referrals collapse

    Aye, their is or are some people, complaining quite loudly about not being able to congregate publicly for tarawih, juma'ah etc. I can very easily see how, what is happening in the world can be weaponized into a propaganda campaign to recruit more people.. I hope I am wrong, but seems like the...

    Fears of rise in UK terrorist recruits as anti-radicalisation referrals collapse

    This is really concerning, especially when coupled with mental health issues that exist during economic down turns... I was personally worried about suicides, depression and other issues due to lay-offs etc. Hopefully no increase in radicalization is seen.. but yeah... Abdullah

    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    If it happens, which I doubt it will.. I will be coughing my heart out while they are in my home and on to them, shaking their hands, patting their back, guiding them to my safe with my arms etc ^^ Heck right now all I technically need to surrend is a stripped AR Lower I bought for a...

    Damages to Vandra

    To be honest, I am a sailing n00b. I don't think so... we tied from the cleat to the dock. Googling online I see a spring line would have helped reduce movement.. my brother may have, but I honestly do not know. I am still learning.

    I am in no way an authoritative figure on railways.. my hire on date was September 2017. So please keep that in mind, I can and do make mistakes and I am continually learning intricacies of the rules I did not know before. Any rate I will try to explain. Main track is basically anywhere the RTC...

    Yeah, I have severe reservations regarding the honesty of those statistics. I personally feel.. however rightly or wrongly the number of derailments is much higher. I can only speak to CN and CP.. brother in law is a track maintenance foreman for CP. BNSF, SRY and a wack load of other short...

    Very interesting.. Were did you get that figure from? 12 derailments since december in BC alone??? If you count non-main track and private industries that have yard goats or use cables.. then 12 since December in BC north makes sense (yes exaggerating a little). In my 3 years of being...

    Bahaha those twigs and pebbles won't do jack. Hell you could be firing a .223 AR at us and I would only duck down out of prudence for safety haha. We routinely go through trees and split them in half, those twigs would not even slow a train down. Heck one year there was a full grown fir tree...

    Usually yep, not going to risk that amount of money for nothing. Plus slow orders, restricting speed etc. If we know we have to watch out for something we can usually stop before it. I have personally ran a train over skeletonized track and all was ok, so I would rest easy (I can be wrong...

    I'll preface an answer as to track damage, with my experience. I have spent last two summers on work trains, working with engineering to maintain and build track. We also have quite regular fires up here intentional or not and fires that trains start themselves, either by using air brakes in the...
