My black and white conviction is that leftists have black and white opinions! I have no grey area where their grey area is concerned!

High Salaries for police and firefighters
Smeelious replied to Scotty's topic in Provincial Politics in Canada
Unionized RCMP... Well at least that would prevent PMs from using them as Nannies. -
6. Work with, instead of around, those appointed?

My understanding is it's permit based, you'd be paying monthly (or something) for a sticker / rearview mirror hangy. It's certainly the least expensive way of implementing. As for enforcement it'd be the sameish as now, just the police would have to be weary of said stickers/hangies. Generally though I agree that this isn't a great idea, and completely defeats the HOV's purpose anyway. btw, I love the 407, but use it very sparingly (though my last job I used it everyday, and paid for it gladly.)

I'd argue that people going into fields that require math would benefit from not requiring memorization. Whereas most other people wouldn't

Trudeau Children's Nannies Being Paid for by Taxpayers
Smeelious replied to socialist's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Can the spouse of the PM actually take a job? (Realistically...I don't think so) -
Mass Shooting in the USA
Smeelious replied to Big Guy's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
There are some differences, especially wrt ammo control. Also, military service is more widespread, leading to better understanding/safety/whatever. -
Mass Shooting in the USA
Smeelious replied to Big Guy's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
While I appreciate the thinking behind this (well maybe I don't) condemning people for asking for prayers for victims isn't an overly good tact to take. Frankly the Democratic candidate response struck me as being basically the same. They all said the same(ish) thing, and essentially what they said were also meaningless platitudes. Even Obama's "We can't let this become routine!" has become routine. He's the only one in a position to *do* anything, and he claims that a bi-partisan solution has to be obtained...Thanks Obama. -
Windows 10 coming out in July 2015
Smeelious replied to Boges's topic in Health, Science and Technology
I haven't had an upgrade work well for me yet. In every case I've had to do a clean install afterward to get things working right. -
Trudeau Children's Nannies Being Paid for by Taxpayers
Smeelious replied to socialist's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Another weapon of mass distraction, IMO I think there are some considerations here though: a) If I hire a nanny they wouldn't have to be vetted by the RCMP If I go to Paris to discuss putting solar panels on my roof I can leave my kids with Grandma...Can JT? I suppose in either case they'd have an RCMP escort... c) Does the PM hiring someone make them federal employees? -
5 Role of Mother in Future, My Study with Sleep Meditation

I find that, hilariously, gender neutral pronouns would be useful here. -
Judge: RCMP May Have Abetted Terrorist Act
Smeelious replied to ReeferMadness's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
You forgot the /sarcasm tag...Unless you actually expect one. Though it's sad that it's entirely possible that what jacee suggested happened to at least some extent. -
Home grown non-Muslim related terrorist attacks
Smeelious replied to msj's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
I'd actually like to see you frame abortion as terrorism. I'd hardly call it straightforward, unless you mean saying litterally "Abortion is Terrorism!!!!111" Which isn't especially compelling, and that's what Archbishop Angelo Amato did...Called it terrorism with actually framing it as such. -
When fees come into play...(it's a pretty weak argument to be sure.) Generally that article doesn't say they won't make the changes, but that they are up for review. When (perhaps not if) the review board comes back and says that they can't make the promised changes, maybe we can come back to it.

Apple Corporation is Bad for Technology
Smeelious replied to MiddleClassCentrist's topic in Health, Science and Technology
Well To be fair, even Apple is jumping on the USB C bandwagon. So if the headphones are USB C...and you could use them with every other phone / computer / new stereo...Since it would also provide auxillary power, you could have light up and noise cancelling without batteries...etc.etc.. -
Waiting for the Trudeau Jnr Flip-Flop
Smeelious replied to August1991's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
That's a good point actually. I'd be curious to see what Conservative campaign promises the current government keeps. Or rather which Liberal promises turn into Conservative promises... -
Inquests on Prison Deaths
Smeelious replied to Michael Hardner's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
I'd wager in most cases both is required even. You really can't have one without the other. -
Ontario says it's OK to smoke weed in public places.

How about ... Radiation treatment at a restaurant? -
Ontario says it's OK to smoke weed in public places.
Smeelious replied to Boges's topic in Provincial Politics in Canada
I feel like I need to read/think more on this. Generally, it seems like business owners have the final say anyway...I'd assume most restaurants/theatres/everything covered in this law, will be "non-smoking" by choice anyway? How dangerous is second hand marijuana smoke anyway? How many people would this actually affect? -
The example he gave was: "I can enter a license plate into a computer and get the name/address/etc". I suppose then he wants the ability to type in "Smeelious" and find out my real name and address. Would that actually violate my charter rights? IP space is tricky though. Even without a warrant, it would be fairly easy to track internet usage. If it turns out someone was using the internet for some illegal purpose I would assume they would know who they were without needing a warrant. If then they needed to file charges, they could get a warrant, force the name from the provider and then have a concrete link. If someone was going to great lengths to hide themselves online, having access to provider lists wouldn't actually help them anyway. Frankly I'm not actually worried about such a scenario since I don't even illegally download music, let alone anything else. But I'm not sure why having that access actually helps them at all. Conversely I'm not sure having that access is necessary or even that useful. If they have evidence that an IP is accessing illegal content, get the warrant and make an arrest like any other crime.

Paris might be problem for Trudeau

This. And bonus points for Daesh. -

While I agree with your post...the last "except Isrealis" is counter to your point. (even if it was meant in jest) -

So is the source... btw 100% of people I surveyed think that 13% number is bogus.
