    eBikes or eScooters

    So with these things requiring no training, licence, insurance, or identifying plates, etc…how do you ‘govern’ the idiots with no ‘legal’ consequences using conflicting rules and throw in obstacles like pedestrians? If the average body on an Ebike is 180lbs, and the average Ebike is 60lbs, and...

    Public Inquiries into Emergencies Act begin September 19

    Going past the Public Inquiry whitewash where “another judge could’a found a different conclusion with the same facts” etc….now come the court. An actual court. What will happen is like a game of Roulette. Round & Round & Round she goes…where it stops is anyone’s guess… The hearing at federal...

    eBikes or eScooters

    What’s an eBike weigh? Add in 200lbs of slob on each one, accelerate those to 30+kms/hour on a 5’ wide trail…with a highway barricade on one side (with 60mph traffic) and a 45° slope down to a creek on the other, while controlling almost 300lbs of dogs on two leashes tying up one of your arms...

    eBikes or eScooters

    My first encounter with E bikes, was on a foot path in the city of Regina down by the University, as I was travelling around the lakes, walking my dogs several years ago. I was circling one of the lakes, clockwise and head past the university, a block or two before I was just about to cross a...

    Ignore Dat Ass?

    Different guy (assuming, etc…). The one I’m thinking about had head hair the same colour as his beard, looked more fit, and was down in the south end. The guy we saw looked employable (assumably on the weekdays) as opposed to the one above, though the one you have a picture of is pretty...

    What a bicycle considered around there? Is it a vehicle? Governed by what laws? The highway traffic act or municipal bylaws?

    eBikes or eScooters

    Coun. Jason Mancinelli motioned for an amendment that would remove the prohibition of private e-scooters from the program, but it was defeated 5-3. “I think there is something fundamentally unfair about folks who have already purchased (e-scooters) who are using them (who) likely will be using...

    eBikes or eScooters

    I remember reading recently a news story about either E bikes or E scooters, and I think it was here in Regina (had to make sure that my text to talk and spellchecker didn’t change the name of the city I reside in to something else) that they were going to be allowed…. But not on the roads and...

    eBikes or eScooters

    It’s a weird topic. I’ve had a few encounters, and a couple of them are definitely not positive. It’s kind of a confusing topic, legally anyway. What are your opinions on the subject? http://apple.news/Az8A4fKDKRLqTUA8dPQcKZw

    Ignore Dat Ass?

    In hindsight, I’m gonna assume that it had something to do with the date on the calendar.

    Michael Mantha removed from Ontario NDP caucus amid workplace investigation

    I got nothing beyond news stories, usually with political leanings. In almost 55 years on the planet. I’ve yet to meet anybody or have a conversation with anyone where it’s come up that they happened to be Jewish. Ever. Seriously. It’s just not a thing. At least here anyway. I probably know...

    Ignore Dat Ass?

    Saturday as we where on our way to a Funeral, we passed a guy (let’s just assume that this guy self identifies as a guy at this point) on the sidewalk with a full bushy beard, a short dress (with flowers on it) and knee-high white socks with those Adidas stripes on them like 40 years ago. At...

    Michael Mantha removed from Ontario NDP caucus amid workplace investigation

    So anti-Semitic views isn’t a Left/Right thing, but certain political parties attract it. I just find it weird & tried to find a pattern quickly, but there wasn’t one, or doesn’t seem to be one.

    Michael Mantha removed from Ontario NDP caucus amid workplace investigation

    OK, buttoned lips at this point. Get it. Then this? This is a weird sentence to follow in the story. So is it Ontario NDP Provincially, and the Green Party Federally if a person is an anti-Semitic (?) or is this just kind of a far left of centre thing? Tried googling and got nowhere. Found...

    Ottawa gives final approval for Rogers $26B purchase of Shaw

    Rogers, Bell, & Telus are the big players with a combined market share in Canada of 86%. (Then there are some smaller regional players like Sasktel that I use) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecommunications_in_Canada

    April Fools!! Here's your Carbon Tax F#ckers!!!

    On Saturday, the federal carbon tax went up by nearly a third. That is definitely going to increase the price you have to pay to fly to your niece’s wedding this summer or send your kids back to university across the country. Maybe it will raise airfares by just enough that you’ll decide to ride...

    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    Russia has taken the presidency of the UN Security Council despite Ukraine urging members to block the move. Each of the council's 15 members takes up the presidency for a month, on a rotating pattern. The last time Russia had the presidency, February 2022, it launched a full-scale invasion of...

    April Fools!! Here's your Carbon Tax F#ckers!!!

    April Fools Day again. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is defending the appointment of senior Liberal cabinet minister Dominic LeBlanc's sister-in-law as Canada's interim ethics commissioner. That’s a real news story & not from the Beaverton. Really… Anyway, April 1st is here again: “Most...

    Rapporteur David Johnson, Eminent Canadian

    If they’re not going to allow a PUBLIC Inquiry, they have to appear to be doing something…& this has the appearance of being something. Canada’s former head of CSIS’s Asia-Pacific unit says any new body countering foreign interference must be answerable to Parliament, not a cabinet minister...
