They sometimes come up with very creative reasons not to hire candidates of colour who are qualified ... http://news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/waterloo-man-rejected-for-job-with-note-that-said-being-somali-embodies-a-culture-of-resistance-to-authority

Beyer may be one of the more ethical people to have worked for Ford but he seems very cagey about revealing what the family is like. And it's still an unusual detailed and specific threat for a hypothetical fight.

I'm sure she's a nice person but she tries too hard to be everyone's friend. Why on earth would someone want so desperately to have their photo taken with Doug Ford, for example?

The other side of this argument that says 'We kinda have to drive, so there's no real point in encouraging us to do anything different' is that it's often put forward by the kind of people who simply won't consider going somewhere they can't drive to (and preferably park for free when they get...

The light mopeds were at one time permitted to use some bike tracks due to their low power and nominal ability to be pedalled (in order to start them). There is also a class of small car-like single-seater vehicles based on scooters that are permitted on shared paths, mostly to allow the elderly...

There's also a cultural aspect at work there: Japan is very much a place where people know the rules and abide by them. The rule just happens to be that cyclists are expected to use the sidewalk where indicated and to be respectful of pedestrians, pedestrians are cautious and drivers know that...

I think this is all very encouraging, considering the kind of wildlife that exists in more built environments nearby - I've seen deer in a hydro allowance just off the Bayview extension and there are rabbits along the tracks south of the park (as there are on other rail allowances around the...

I guess the existence of Island Bicycle Rental is one reason why Bike Share doesn't have stations on the islands (that and the inconvenience of BST moving bikes back and forth between the islands and the mainland to distribute them evenly).

Good point. Best to lie perfectly still somewhere.

Even if this person happened to be captured on security cam, it's very unlikely.

I've actually found College to be not too bad, almost better in some ways. The part just west of Bathurst is really quiet as traffic is diverted onto adjacent north-south streets (which are now busier, but not unbearably so) and only the intersections with stop signs are slightly trickier...

If driveway not found, then favourite chair.

I've tripped on curbs, streetcar tracks, etc. Walking is dangerous. Better stay indoors.

That's almost correct - Rugby is an independent public (i.e., private) school, not a university. The sport invented there was what 'football' referred to until the Football Association was created, which led to the invention of 'association football', now known in the UK as just football or...

I think that was the point of the name.

Apparently someone's been scattering tacks in the Adelaide lane. I know we have a few hardcore bike haters in this city but that's some UK/Australia-level bullshit.

Well, that'd be great for Germany, because their regular bike lanes are generally garbage (not just paint, but sometimes paint on sidewalks so you're dodging pedestrians ... and trees).

Having received most of my secondary education in the UK and then attended university here, I've never really had the impression that what my university classmates had gone through in Grade 13/OAC was much like the O/A-level system at all, both in terms of rigour and content. The system I went...

The kind of guy who thinks things like 'What's the point of a great street if you can't drive the entire length of it?'.
