I used to work in construction. Dirtwork. Reclamations. The prevailing approach is now if you find something (artifacts, fossils et cetera) during a dig, just keep digging and shut up. Because if it gets reported the whole project will grind to a hault at great cost. We've created a system where important archeological and paleontological finds are now being ignored or destroyed because of how burdensome reporting them has become. This is the opposite of what we want.
I'm always amazed at how ignorant the average person is about the role of the judiciary in general. They lament about the bench "creating law", but that's literally how the entire common law system works. To this day, pretty much all law about contracts, property, torts like negligence et cetera is judge-made. Hell, the Criminal Code didn't exist a little over 100 years ago. Even criminal law used to be almost entirely judge-made. Imagine a world where parliament didn't touch criminal law and judges just did it all? That too was a part of the pre-charter era when judges supposedly knew their place.
@KMLOnt I feel like the response to a cop doming a civilian at point-blank range during a firefight shouldn't be to further centralize firearm ownership into the hands of police.
@TristinHopper The unfortunate thing about being in a democracy is that whatever a governing party does is inarguably what voters respond positively to. Every crappy, hollow talking point the Liberals use is a just a reflection of who we are and what we clearly want.
@boehmerB A little over 100 years ago there wasn't even a Criminal Code. Criminal law was once common law; judge-made.
@boehmerB Unelected judges have always created new law from the bench, that's how the common law works. To this day the law of tort, property, contract etc. is almost all created by judges. That said, Parliament is supposed to be able to trump the common law whenever they please.
@hollowearthterf It sure isn't genocide, but tbf it isn't a stretch to see why young men perceive sexual rejection so negatively. Sex is how genes are passed on. Being told you're un*uckable is something like being told "the world is probably better off if your core traits just die with you"
I legit don't understand how these actions don't amount to breach of contract on the part of airlines, and how there are not lawyers operating a whole conveyor belt practice to sue them similar to simple whiplash cases in motor vehicle accidents. It's gotta be unlikely that a flight ticket condition that says "we can do what we want" would hold up.
@RestoreCanadaCa @finseraste There's political power in consolidation. If all liberty-minded Canadians converged on Alberta and moved to a smaller city like Red Deer, they could start by controlling city council and schoolboards. Make that one smaller place as good as can be and move outwards from there.
If you live in DT Calgary and are angry about the Stampede noise, I have a solution for you. Rent your place out to tourists on Airbnb and go someplace else for 10 days. You'll turn a nice profit, you won't have to deal with the noise, and Stampeders will have a place to stay.
@ElliniaCafe @TheChaosWeeber I love the internet.
@Prominent_Bryan This has always been my experience. Way easier getting into the US than coming home. Like, what are you going to do Mr. CBSA Officer? Not let me back into my own country?
@legalesnupi It's hilarious that PI lawyers are simultaneously looked down upon and often the highest-earning lawyers out there. I know PI lawyers making millions a few years out of law school while top students are still scrambling over one-another trying not to get cut from the big firms.
@CTVNews It's a bad time to own any cowboy artwork apparently.
@Prominent_Bryan This isn't a question about age, it's a question about universal democracy vs. a more limited democracy. Net taxpayers should get the vote, net recipients should not.
This is actually a chief problem with our legal system. Criminal law is no longer 'adversarial', the way other areas of law are. Crowns are directed and trained to look for balanced solutions and "achieve justice" directly in the way a judge traditionally does. This tilts the whole system to the favour of the accused. Crowns should try to 'win' and defense lawyers should try to 'win', with justice emerging from the contest.
You can frame opposition to anything as support for pedophilia, and it should be ignored. "Everytime I see a woman on here excited that there will be an ID record of every single person that uses social media, I wonder why it's so important to her that the government have access to so many personal photographs of people that used to be children."
Every time I see a man on here angry that under 16s won't legally be allowed to access social media, I wonder why it's so important to him that children should be allowed in adult spaces.
@IanRunkle Every kid will still be on social media. This is one of those things where they will immediately find ways around the laws.
