    ‘Painful summer ahead:’ Gas prices reach 211.9 in Metro Vancouver, expected to rise

    I think block heaters are standard in Regina. But not too many use the trickle chargers. Of course in Toronto most people don't even know what a block heater is. And even if they did there is no place to plug them in.

    ‘Painful summer ahead:’ Gas prices reach 211.9 in Metro Vancouver, expected to rise

    When I was in university there was a December where Regina had a block of real cold weather -- almost the whole month of December (I took my Astronomy course that fall semester. Everybody said take it in the fall and avoid going to the telescope in January & February -- I froze my ass off that...

    Man who killed pregnant woman and three other children sentenced to die in prison

    Always technicalities. I suppose releasing them at 30,000 feet without a parachute is also against the conventions?

    Federal Trade Minister Mary Ng broke ethics rules over contract to friend, commissioner rules

    The prevailing belief among those here who are good people but identify as Liberals is that the Conservatives are evil. It is played on by the media and the Liberal campaigns here.

    Man who killed pregnant woman and three other children sentenced to die in prison

    I would be ok just withholding the medical care. Let them die of natural/unnatural causes in their cell.

    Man who killed pregnant woman and three other children sentenced to die in prison

    I too support a true life sentence over death penalty. Not 25 years or any chance of parole but locked up until you die.

    Man who killed pregnant woman and three other children sentenced to die in prison

    I'm betting this guy will be added to the "other causes" list.

    Eight teenage girls charged with murder in stabbing death of 59-year-old Toronto man: police

    13-16. They will get a slap on the wrist. A sternly worded letter added to their permenant record which will then be sealed and forgotten about.

    Man who killed pregnant woman and three other children sentenced to die in prison

    Life in prison is too good. They should let him loose in the general population for a bit.

    Toronto Mass Shooting

    He apparently had a beef with his condo association. 3 of the dead were members. Something to do with him living over the electrical room and them not putting in the fake ceiling that was recommended causing him excessive noise in his unit...

    Federal Trade Minister Mary Ng broke ethics rules over contract to friend, commissioner rules

    The bi-elections exist here. Everything else is not here either. Just my thoughts.

    Federal Trade Minister Mary Ng broke ethics rules over contract to friend, commissioner rules

    I think for first offense, fine and automatic bi-election if they want to retain their seat. Second offense, same thing but bar the person from running ever for any level of government again.

    Toronto Mass Shooting

    I think it was in Vaughn which is a city north of Toronto proper. GTA but not Toronto.

    2022 World Cup

    Flipping a coin has even less stress on the players than penalty kicks. And just as arbitrary.

    2022 World Cup

    In the playoffs, the NHL has a system where they keep playing until the sudden death goal is scored. I think the record is 4 OT periods. Yes, by the end everybody is tired. But whomever is less tired will likely get the goal. It's fairer than arbitrary penalty shots. Note that I think it only...

    2022 World Cup

    The more that happens, the more likely for a golden goal.

    2022 World Cup

    The problem with non-golden goals is you get increased chance of the stupid penalty kicks. If you are going to allow an arbitary set of shots decide it, better to have the golden goal.

    2022 World Cup

    Smells like a fix. Diminishes the game to have the final decided by penalty kicks. OT should be sudden death too.

    Black Lives Matter-Ugliness of Racism.

    If you take away the funding, dog shit throwing becomes one of the crimes that do not get investigated. She should hire her own private investigators.
