This confirms what I said.
The safety consideration is real. I spent countless hours staring at a conveyor belt looking for human remains at the Pickton pig farm. It was brutal. Worst part was walking by the families each day.
Is this a nothing burger that few care about in Canada? Just curious if it has any political relevance.

The entire medical assistance in dying program is political red meat for angry conservatives, but that’s about it. Its not like the government is killing people.
I’ve never heard anyone bring it up in conversation. It’s a non-issue for the most part.
But, they DO hate drug addicts. Allow medically assisted dying for the poor and they’ll have a real conundrum.
I agree it’s a non-issue at a high level, but there is a small group of people that are frothing about it. I know someone who worked on the Federal commission/task force/committee (not sure what it was exactly) on MAID and she was bombarded with hate speech and death threats for her troubles. This is the kind of thing that raging alternative reality conservative religious people will go down a rabbit hole on, they think that MAID is the government deciding who lives and dies and this is what happens when you allow immigrants into the country and socialist pedos to run the health care system which should be privatized anyway, dontchaknow. WAKE UP SHEEPLE!
Conservatives love drug addicts that are alive because that gives them someone to look down on and punch down at, which is their core raison d’etre. They are not going to support SOCIALISM that allows drug addicts to escape their suffering and to escape the scornful superior glare of the righteous.
Hahaha that is awesome.

Is Moscow on the border?
No, I think it’s about 4-5 hours away from the border.
I looked up the authors, apparently they do a thriving business trafficking in right-wing nonsense. Lots of Rebel News in the search results. Also, you’ll never believe this, but they’re from Alberta.

While there has been a surge in car thefts across Canada — up 24 percent in 2022, the most recent year nationwide statistics were available — the scourge has hit the Toronto area particularly hard, creating a mix of paranoia, vigilance and resentment.
So pervasive are car thefts in Canada’s largest city, up 150 percent in the past six years, that the issue has become something of a common bond among vehicle owners.
…
Car thefts have escalated to “national crisis” levels, according to the Insurance Bureau of Canada, an industry group, which said insurers paid out a record 1.2 billion Canadian dollars, or about $890 million, in theft claims in 2022.
…
Homeowners are increasingly looking for solutions to protect their driveways, too, with some winning the praise of the police for installing bollards
Don’t buy an SUV if you don’t want it stolen. Organized crime has targeted suvs and even Mitch Marner got carjacked a couple years ago. The cars get stolen and driven to Quebec and put on shipping containers headed for Africa. Usually they are in Africa within 2-3 months of being stolen.
hot take. no pickups for canadas either I guess. or luxuries
from the article:
The bread and butter of thieves are the most prosaic cars, like Mr. Wilson’s Honda CR-V, or Ford F-150 trucks. Luxury cars are trophies.
calling the CR-V an SUV is probably generous too
The trend is car thefts is a lot blander than all that, you just wake up in the morning and your car is gone. If you park on the street or in a driveway you are at serious risk of losing your car now.
So if I drive my car to Toronto, what are the odds I can get it stolen and get a check from insurance. Let’s say I’ve got a 2018 Accord that is fine, but I’m just tired of it and want to get a new EV.
Can’t get your car stolen if you don’t own a car
Looks like another problem that can be fixed by more public transit!
