ANPR is pretty new in most of Canada, the provincal police in Quebec have it or most of them do. The OPP in Ontario will see it in 2020 or 2050 as they still don't have digital terminals in most of their cars, they're still doing stuff by hand and calling dispatch when they do a check. Peel regional police(near Toronto--richest municipality in Ontario, will probably see it if they want it if they don't already have it). But I can't figure out what's secret. The RCMP will get it no question they're the "federal" yet "local" police in most places across Canada(except Ontario, Quebec, and parts of the maritimes as they have provincial police). I remember reading over a year ago that VPD, and the RCMP were test phase rolling this out then. And there was quite a bit of news on this then.
The officer could be correct in claiming they didn't have anything until he contacted his superior too. Policing in Canada at best is a clusterfuck of complicated shit because of privacy and data retention laws. And since license plates are considered private yet not-private(since the LP is public, but the name is private), not everything would have crossed his desk yet, including that the system exists, but particular information doesn't exist because it's digital and has to be transcribed over to paper copies for archive purposes. Yeah you read that right, not only do you have to archive digitally here, but on paper too.
I made the comment on bluesnews the other day that if I committed manslaugher, I'd get a longer sentence then the founder of TPB. Someone else commented that killing MJ was worth less than copying a few of his songs too. I would counter argue that it's not a 'profit-prison system' but legislative and judicial branches which are out of touch with reality. Where the life of a person is worth less than a non-tangible product.
Though I am happy to say that in Canada. If I commit 1st degree murder(planned-premeditation), I'm going get 25 years with no chance of parole for 25 years still, unlike some other countries.
My sister and two friends from college work for corrections canada. Both live up in the asshole of no-where aka the grande prarie and grand cache areas. They also have telus in both places, who've let the copper decay so badly that at best people can get 1.1/100 service. I know exactly what you're talking about, but it doesn't help that the new provincial government there is anti-business either.
I know where that is. It's kinda like brownsville, just out of reach of a city(tillsonburg), with a major pbx exchange inside the city limit. But you can't get anything but dialup.
I have two family members that own farms on Foldens Line, and Karn Rd. near Ingersoll, Ontario. Neither of them have DSL or cable. Both of them are near cities with relative populations of ~15k(ingersoll) and ~36k(woodstock) respectively. The best they can get is very poor quality wifi,satellite, or plain old dial up.
It's the old joke, like our navy. The strong, the proud, the battle canoe. Fear it. Along with the trusty beaver. After all, you've never seen a man shake in fear, until you've seen a Newfie in a kilt, riding at you on a moose, shaking an angry beaver.
I can confirm both of these posters. There are parts inside of my city where you can't get DSL or Cable still, because there isn't the infrastructure. This is a city of 70k people. What's annoying as hell? The "northern broadband initiative" which originally was the rural broadband initiative. Where they were supposed to be getting broadband to places just outside of cities, and all that. Of course now it's all dry, and rogers, bell, and other companies just took the money and ran like hell.
There's more to the quote, generally talking about the criminalizing of all behaviors and making law useless. But the answer in itself is in the full quote. Funny how this was already discussed 2000 years ago.
I'm a kid of a mixed culture. My father is japanese, my mother is german. So I know exactly where you're coming from. But he was smart enough to realize and understand the cultural differences when his family came here after WWII, and taught me the differences too.
Ever hear of 80 people being killed following a LAN event? Any riots at GenCon or E3?
Of course not. But let's not forget, that the general difference between most western countries and Egypt is that here in the west you have the prospect of a future, and you have the possibility of going somewhere in your life. With a full belly most of the time, even if you're poor and living on the streets. There's going to be somewhere, you can get food.
In egypt thought? Well, they just had a revolution. They just elected a group of people who want to throw the country back a few hundred years in legal terms. They have food shortages, 55-60% unemployment, mass unrest is common, there's in general no hope of going anywhere or improving your lot in life. So yeah...it's not really easy to compare the two. Not even with europe.
But I learned a valuable lesson. The authority is on the side of the bullies, so just let them walk all over you, or you will be punished.
Then you learned the wrong lesson. What you should have learned is that the culture of coddling bullies and refusing to allow students to stand up for themselves, and forcing the administration to find out what actually caused this to come to the front is a serious issue.
Let's look at the administration, and the policies that have been forced on the school system right? That violence is never the answer, that the social aspect is always correct, that 'feelings' and 'bullies' are misunderstood, and all the rest. There's a whole pile of touchy-feely-and all the other rot that goes on along with bury your head in the sand, that schools do. Because they're instructed to do it. I don't trust the left-leaning establishments ideas of everyone needs a hug, and everyone needs to be punished over something like this. That is where it came from. Rather, I'd like to see that teachers and principals are fired when these issues have already been brought to light, and they've done nothing.
I'm with you on this. I was bullied myself, until I snapped and broke the other kids nose. If you have kids, you should support them if they stand up against bullies, especially if you've been bullied yourself and you trust your kid. Learning to stand up for yourself is important. The lesson that's been taught for the last 30 years is, standing up for yourself is bad.
The first rule of economics like crime stats that you learn is that rates are calculated differently from country to country. I'd hazard that 4.3% isn't true either, rather it's closer to around 8.5%. Which is still marginally better than the US. The US on the otherhand, is much closer to 16.8%. Canada on the other hand is around 7.8%, though if you figure everything out it's right around 8.3% in total numbers of unemployment.
That you even say the US number is more accurate is laughable. It's off by nearly 8%, and anyone who even has a passing interest in economics, plays the markets, or even plays with currency knows this. I actually trust the japanese numbers more than the US, because the Japanese markets, not to mention the FM is more open on exactly how they're floating against the USD.
Your post makes no sense. First you say they need to stop with Keynesian economics, then you go on about stopping them and their ability to print money. Which is a central keynesian ideal. So which is it?
Oddly Japan seems to be doing fine after learning from their housing bubble in the 90's, which the US didn't learn from. And you believe japanese unemployment is a problem? At 4.3%? Wait, let me guess, you're the same type of person who believes that when it was the same during Bush's term it was disastrous, but during Obama's 10% it was perfectly okay.
The only thing that's changed is perception. How sad is it that Americans of all things are sounding more Canadian, and Canadians are sounding more American? Don't get the point, well I'll explain. Canadians are well known for their, "Well it's already done, the past is already past, and it's already written...so what can we do." Today it's Americans echoing that sentiment, where as Canadians simply aren't taking it, and refusing to believe that the government has the end-be-all power.
I see you're new here. You must not know of a time back when we used the internet as a social medium without having our *names* attached to something. Rather when we cultivated our pseudonyms instead. It worked perfectly fine then.
Really? Gun ownership is the last line of defense against tyranny. People are willing to accept soft tyranny if it's justifiable, that's a truth of the world. It's when said tyranny is no longer justifiable, and people demand it be removed/rescinded/revoked that you want those 'gun totters' around. The biggest step towards a totalitarian government is when the government comes to you, and removes your right of defense, and gun ownership.
This "bullet box" rhetoric needs to end. The people who mod it up should be ashamed of themselves, and the people who post it ought to be on government watch lists.
As a Canadian, it saddens me that there are Americans who don't even understand why the second amendment is enshrined in the constitution.
Wait. New hardware is old and busted? Okay. I mean it's not like the new stuff based on the old stuff, doesn't support current generation tech or anything. Like it did last time.
So when will there be cards affordable by normal people?
Well the sweet spot is usually about 8-9mo after the release of a new card. That gets all the major bugs out of the manufacturing, and all the driver issues hammered out. And the prices have pretty much bottomed out too.
Well since the majority of/. doesn't represent the majority of american mainstream political opinion. It's fine to have your partisan thinking. I mean, why bother working with the other guys when you can just be the usual hack.
Not really true. Canada law looks at the full chain of events along with the aggravating and mitigating circumstances of the charge. If a case is before the courts, but there isn't enough prohibitive cause in our system to keep something offline. Then you're denying the right of paid customers to access their data. Which means you're denying access. You're welcome to believe whatever you want, but US law != law everywhere. And Canadian law says not legal, until it goes through the courts.
The laws in other places do not allow you to arbitrarily to do something without considering the full actions. This is why here, you can't simply walk up and seize the assets of someone even if they're convicted of running a drug operation. You need to prove to the crown that, those assets were purchased and profited by the proceeds of crime, and you must prove it to the judge as well.

Canada is damned terrible for broadband.

That's nice, but we don't recognize sovereign immunity for government bodies. We do recognize it for individuals however.
