   Fort McMurray evacuee here. One of those Youtube videos is from me. It was indeed apocalyptic to drive through the fire. Watching buildings burning as a fire raged on both sides of the car. Trying to reassure my kids that everything was g

   Fort McMurray evacuee here. I was in the Thickwood neighbourhood, and we were in complete gridlock. This only changed once the RCMP did exactly what you suggest -- they used both sides of the highway. Both sides on the north side of the ci

   I've heard from my Portuguese cousins that they do it this way because speed cameras aren't legal, but red light cameras are. So while they can't give you a fine for speeding based on photo radar, they can give you a fine for

    This area is being jointly developed by Australia and East Timor, I believe. 200 miles is standard for an Exclusive Economic Zone.

    "I just couldn’t believe they could fly people in to sit at our desks and take over our jobs exactly." Doesn't sound like remote work to me. Same situation in Canada, except we call them "temporary foreign workers."

    Another great feature for local SIMs is that they are often "caller pay." So that if your family does want to call your French phone number from the USA, then they end up paying for the call, not you :-) I'm Canadian, and m

    I agree with you for household garbage. Should be just like any other city utility. Not for commercial and industrial garbage, though. Which is what this is about?

    I don't think I've ever heard anyone pretend to be an expert in any of those fields. But practically every day I hear some grand opinion of teaching from people who haven't taught a class, ever.

    Yeah, I get that. And I agree with you. But there has to be a mechanism to maintain anonymity without enabling anonymous defamation. I just can't think of one. Maybe he has to file a lawsuit against individual anonymous users first

    I dunno, I'm ok with anonymous reviews, but not false reviews. That's what's being claimed here: that the people leaving the negative reviews were never clients of the carpet cleaning company. I can't think of a way t
