That’s a very simple view. Most of western Europe and Asia have higher fire safety than Canada and have plenty of single-staircase buildings. These kinds of decisions are not made based off a single YouTube video. It may be a source of public awareness about other approaches, but that’s only the springboard to get feasibilty studies and expert consultations underway. There are external fire escapes, mandated sprinkler systems and other ways to improve fire safety which alone will likely prove far more effective than double staircases.

There are many valid downsides to our outdated fire standards in Canada—many that introduce their own health impacts in other ways. And I wouldn’t quite consider a fire chief to be the ultimate expert here. Sure their input is important to have, but I also want to hear from architects, standards bodies and academics that study building design and safety.

Tell me you don’t have an HOA without telling me you don’t have an HOA.

It depends on what you do with it.

ok.

I agree, she’s not the candidate I’d want leading the dems—far from it. But people are used to voting between a Giant Douche and a Turd Sandwich as their president. Biden is something different, more agreeable than some other candidates the Dems have run. But people are seriously concerned about voting for a man who’s mental acuity is declining rapidly towards senility and very possibly will not live through 2028.

Plus, I haven’t read too far into it but I’ve heard that only Kamala would be able to use the Biden/Harris campaign war-chest. It’s sad as hell that that is so important, but it is nonetheless.

If the goal is to do away with tipping, I don’t know of another way besides banning it that will be effective.

The provinces of Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia all did away with the seperate (lesser) server wage so that all employees go by a universal minimum wage. I don’t think that changed patrons’ tipping habits one bit.

And servers are still reliant on the good will of people. Ain’t nobody with real expenses getting by with some of these minimum wages. Not with the current cost-of-living.

I mean, this isn’t an awful idea…

The real world logistics probably make this more complicated than implied, but I don’t mind the intent.

What makes you say that? 🤔 /s

Somebody put this genius in Parliament!

Ok, ignoring the fact that handguns are illegal in Canada…how is a handgun a great addition to hunting? Not being sarcastic, genuinely curious.

Buttery males? What’d I miss?

What part are you having trouble with?

Y’know nobody forced you to write this.

Ah, okay. I appreciate the fact check.

Them’s the small government folks for ya…
