They're older than Santa's suit. Santa wears Canadian Supreme Court robes.

Their nuisance lawsuit that has no chance of winning because governments aren't liable for policy decisions?

King of Canada
comment in response to
post
The PM would be head of state and sit in the legislature? Yeah, I don't need someone to hold my hand to understand why that would be a terrible idea. Have a good one.

I can think just fine about alternatives. You proposed getting rid of the King, which is an argument to be had, but when I ask who would be the head of state, you gave a patronizing response. I was trying to have a good faith discussion, but you clearly aren't interested.

I left out a "hun" so as not to be that patronizing.

You're the one that slipped into my replies to propose that Canada have no head of state. I'm not the one that needs hand-holding.

So who is the head of state in your King-less Canada? You haven't said.

So what do we replace the King with?
comment in response to

We need a head of state, so we'd have to replace the King with something.

We have an institution that supports a stable democracy at relatively little cost. Why would we replace that with a politician more susceptible corruption, authoritarianism, and whatever else we're seeing happening in the U.S.?

And replace it with what?

Having a King makes it less likely that the system bends to an autocratic power-hungry president. The King has no incentive to take political sides or start a crypto grift, and just ensures the constitutional order is maintained.

So Ford wants to make the U of T campus and a major park uglier and more dangerous; spit in the face of two prominent philanthropic families; destroy a chance to radically transform the city’s image. All to (allegedly) speed up the commutes of 5000 drivers.
And it’s the cyclists who are elite?

And, does a 12-year old really need to use the same stick that Connor McDavid uses?

It's not a just a joke when you single out particular defence lawyers, but you do you.

Think what you want about the trial and cross-examination, but maybe suggesting that violence should befall the lawyers, even jokingly, is a bad idea.

Seatbelts prevent injury whether you're a speeding driver or a careful driver hit by someone else. Same thing with speed limiters.
comment in response to
post
A quarter of road deaths are caused by speeding. Speed limiters don't prevent people from driving to work. They're just another tool, like seatbelts and airbags.

A GPS speed limiter that basis your max speed on the limit for the road you're on www.caranddriver.com/news/a643307...

Presumably, offset by insurance savings. And, they're already required on trucks.
comment in response to

Why should speed limiters only be required for reckless drivers? They should be installed on all new vehicles.

And, as per @alexbozikovic.bsky.social's suggestion, Queen Street too.

The lawsuit is a stretch.
