The Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville was paid actors and feds?
Or did I misunderstand who you were accusing of what now?

People don't learn history from statues.
Statues are about memorializing and honouring things.
Why are you sorry?
It was a nice quiet city, no stress driving through it, pretty clean for a city that has some industrial areas in it, what wasn't to like about it?
That`s pretty much my memory of it. I went to take a look at the new Z-1 Kawasaki at Kelly`s on Kennedy road, I believe. That was 1973, never been back.
Oh,...I was born in Brampton too, in 1957.I don't want our officers wasting their time ticketing the small stuff sorry. There are far more tasks that take priority. Peel are hiring less and less officers every year while at the same time the region's population is increasing rapidly. In 2022 and 2023 Peel's annual population increases were in the 3% per annum range. According to the census from 2016-2021 it was only about 1% per year increase on average.
Furthermore, according to a friend of mine who's been on the force for 21+ years, there are more officers on paid leave now than ever before. They have now instituted a policy of no engaging in chases of motorcycles. They typically don't issue tickets to motorists who are doing up to 20 km over the speed limit, unless its a priority zone (school, hospital, retirement home)
They then become a piece of history. Statues are a reminder of the past. Whereas nobodys like you and I are simply dust in the wind, forgotten about by all 50 years from now.
The onus is on the immigrant to gain the knowledge, and to obey the existing laws. The immigrant must adapt to the host country, not the other way around.
That's funny because I was describing it from '94 and onward when I first went to it because of a friend and then my gf later on in the late 90s. Wild how I described it for that time and you said it was the same in '73.That`s pretty much my memory of it. I went to take a look at the new Z-1 Kawasaki at Kelly`s on Kennedy road, I believe. That was 1973, never been back.
I guess that saying "all good things come to an end" is applicable. Sad times.
That isn't in debate anyway. That is why I said driving schools need to create those courses targeted at new comers who may need some extra training, so they can adapt to Canadian roads and gain proper knowledge.
People should really read the BOOK. then write it at the MTO office. IF you flank wait another 6 months. IF you get suspended come to the office and try again but pay triple. This tactic will encourage people to drive carefully/safely.
Which is why a country and population chooses which statues to construct and which to keep.
The idea that they are sacrosanct forever is nonsense, as you yourself are pointing out there.
People will change their minds, over time, about who should be honoured and who should be memorialized and how and why.
Some will disagree with those.
So, for instance, many cities have decided that honouring people who rebelled against the government in order to preserve slavery shouldn't be honoured.
There are lots of people who disagree. They very much think that the fight to preserve slavery should be honoured.
But the idea that if the statue goes down the history is erased is silly.
Do you honestly think that if the statue was preserved with something to contextualize it as "this is a lesson we must remember - this man was evil and did bad things we must reject" that the people who objected to the statue coming down would be fine with that?
Of course not.
Besides people read about history on wikipedia these days. Suddenly these righties are history aficionados wanting to preserve history by way of statues, that they normally just drive past.
Thanks for sharing that. I have to admit as well I have done my stupid stuff too and I'm glad those days were short lived. I never went to that extreme that I see now but I was dumb enough to engage. How maturity and age changes us eh?
I always enjoy reading your posts. You bring good feedback to the table. It's clear how smart you are.
So i don't have a distraction set into place when i feel the onset of road rage approaching but something tells me I should call and see you as my distraction and work off the frustration in other ways
Right wingers are generally educated in history unlike the left wing lunatics who ignore it and eventually repeat past mistakes. Socialism comes to mindBesides people read about history on wikipedia these days.

If righties were educated in history, they'd advocate for removal of statues celebrating slavery. On top of this, why a Canadian rightie would be against slavery statue removal in the US makes no sense - even historically.Right wingers are generally educated in history unlike the left wing lunatics who ignore it and eventually repeat past mistakes.

Uh oh you werent one of the nuts that wanted to take down the statue of John A. MacDonald?
You sir are obsessed with the US. I bet you didnt know that the DemocratsIf righties were educated in history, they'd advocate for removal of statues celebrating slavery. On top of this, why a Canadian rightie would be against slavery statue removal in the US makes no sense - even historically.
A lot of lefties still support slavery unfortunately. Opening borders to allow illegal immigrants into the country to work for peanuts is just one example.If righties were educated in history, they'd advocate for removal of statues celebrating slavery.

That's the righties employing them. While complaining about illegal immigrants at the same time.
