You're right, but only if there is an actual definition of what constitutes this kind of infraction. To leave the interpretation of the law in the hands of the police officers whims is crazy.

So, in September Montreal passed a law making it illegal to insult or harass the police. The mayor's office was pointedly saying that no one is going to get a ticket for flipping off a police officer or calling them a name with no other circumstances involved but at the same time the law doesn't...

Unless you're traveling with somebody from here it's unlikely to be an issue, and even at that only if the lady is known to the authorities. Also bear in mind that anyone with any serious legal history is unlikely to be able to travel internationally anyway, so that's likely academic. The other...

Pay off everything and retire. Buy a series of investment properties that I can use for airbnbs when I'm not there in Medellin, Vancouver, Lima and Subic. Permanent condo in Panama City (where I have permanent residency) for an Americas flight gateway and where there's no tax on foreign income...

it's not really anything new. It's just a more sophisticated and modern version of "fake pictures" which guys are used to and and have learned to be wary of. Providers already used real pictures (just not of themselves) so that men are even skeptical of taking real (in the sense of not AI)...

Being drunk and doing things that require operating tools or machinery when drunk isn't a good idea either. Being drunk at work generally isn't a good idea no matter what you do, unless you're a DJ/announcer at a strip club, in which case it's hilarious. :)

Yes it is..Next time you'll know better. lol. :)

I know that. I was being facetious about the whole "risk" thing, thinking more about the partner than the legality. I'm clearly not worried about the legality. :)

I vote for Stop Making Sense by the Talking Heads, but I've seen the live performance movie too, and so much of the whole thing is tied up into the absolute genius of the stage show that I'm not sure how much of it is the live music and how much is tied to the live show. Either way it's awesome.

With Tinder you're not taking a risk? :)

Yes, it does. Quite literally a multi billion dollar business according to the federal government. That's part of the reason why I thought it might be more "in your face" than it actually is. To me it's almost like nothing happened at all and makes you wonder why we made such a big deal of it...

So it's been a few years since weed was made legal here, and a lot of people thought there would be catastrophic changes to society once that happened, but anecdotally for me it's been crickets. I've found the changes to be mostly invisible, with virtually no casual impact on society or...

Things have been plugging along with nothing overly great or spectacularly bad happening this year so far but I'm generally happy. I see the circle of people I see locally and they've been great as always. The MP side, on the other hand, is getting worse and worse every year with no signs of...

Try it yourself and see how it works out. I used the intersection at the Broadway skytrain station. Pretty good mix there. :)

The polls are a waste of everyone's time, offering almost zero objective info and from within a captive pool of candidates who campaign to win instead of winning on the merits of their service, while at the same time excluding the vast majority of providers. Nobody with even an ounce of sense...

Unless you have a very specific goal that you think you can achieve by doing it then I'd say forget it and put aside the idea. What is it that you hope to achieve by speaking in public and what is the audience you expect to target? If you can't specifically articulate that then you shouldn't...

It's interesting to me that having use of the internet was supposed to simplify both the search and the communications process as opposed to using print ads like they did old school, but at the same time it has introduced levels of risk and complexity that didn't exist before. To clarify, I'm...

if they had an oom-pa-pa band with them then you know for sure it was an Oktoberfest party

Walmart wants me to put up my Christmas tree while I eat turkey in my Halloween costume.

The Quebec provincial election.
