. . . and sexual assault???? I await a travel advisory about renting e-scooters in Toronto.

Fire a couple of rounds into a contractor's house in Vaughan, into a building on University Ave. or at a tow truck - the money's the same and I'll bet the shooters don't know or care who or what the target is - or why they're getting shot at.

Heated Rivalry has done well . . .

Fixed rides like at Canada's Wonderland, perhaps (but my body's not really into them anymore) but the travelling rides for fall fairs and such, not so much. They are all supposed to be inspected prior to service and at regular intervals but regulatory enforcement in Ontario leaves much to be...

In Ontario, if it were to involve a municipal police service, it or, more accurately, its police services board, would be free to try and negotiate some sort of cost recovery mechanism with DND if they felt it was an onerous drain on its taxpayers. If it involves a municipality policed under an...

Decline to investigate or not finding a prima facie criminal offence? Declining to investigate would be unusual and in most provinces the victim would have recourse to complain to a civilian oversight authority. Typically, police would not keep a victim's or suspect's employer in the loop one...

But how much of that is an 'inside baseball' view and, all things being equal, would the average viewer have the same opinion? The Great Escape and a few others were terrible in terms of historical accuracy or accurate depiction of events, conditions, procedures, etc. but did well. I very...

^^ That's easy: an Executive Order mandating that aircraft use a different approch path when landing at Melania International.

It's a bit of apples and kumquats. The CBC doesn't create full-length theatrical productions (have they ever?). These are made by private companies with various formulas of private and public funding. Private companies tend to want to earn profits. Do we want to tell our stories to ourselves...

The only time American WWII movies include Canadians, they are portrayed by American actors who speak with something trying to be a French-Canadian or Scottish accent.

The US "and its allies" to pony up $300Bn to Iran for "reconstruction". This might be a tough sell with mid-terms coming up.

Culturally, we've always suffered from a 'tall poppy' syndrome. Politically, across the spectrum has cultivated the myth that we are a peaceable kingdom, and that has seemed into all aspects of society, from educational content, to funding (think the US would even consider cancelling the Blue...

I doubt they would be allowed to leave. 'Russification' of occupied territories has a long history.

There are enough poor, disaffected and impressionable youth and young adults out there now that organized crime, state actors, terror groups and pretty much any other identifiable group doesn't have to get their hands dirty now. Smash-and-grab jewelry store robberies, auto theft are all done by...

The problem in Ontario is there is no requirement that service animals be registered/certified or identifiable. As a business or premises owner, you are limited what you can ask the person. Basically, 'is that a service Llama'. If the answer is 'yes', you are pretty much stuck. It's become...

"Identity-related celebrations" Maybe they should bow out of Warriors Day, Veterans Day and maybe cancel the hono(u)r guard at the Tomb. Male is an identity.

Indeed. How many bases have rail anymore, and short of commandeering an intermodal terminal, how many seaports have rail to the dockside?

Given their daily average, I'm 147 years old. Some days I swear I'm the root cause of global warming.

Except according to this article, right now they are not too capable. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/06/07/navy-fleet-out-of-service-maintenance-russia-lord-west/
