Hey, I totally agree. I just think speed limits are mostly bullshit. There's no such thing as "normal" road conditions, so the limit is just what some random bureacrat thinks is a good idea, regardless of whether they've ever driven a particular stretch of road or not.

He'll be screwing up some other agency before the cost details get exposed. Maybe he'll have learned what the cloud actually is at some point, though. Doubtful. But maybe.

cool :)

Safe is relative. What's perfectly safe on a sunny Sunday morning with no traffic is much less safe at 10 pm in a snow storm. I'll give you 1 guess when you're more likely to run into a speed trap, too.

Ontario is just retarded. Half the province has endless highways with a 90km speed limit. Zealously enforced by the OPP, who apparently have nothing better to do. I so do not miss driving in Ontario.

You say that as if it was a bad thing. How does it affect you negatively?

Because I have to pay taxes to support them? Not only directly to them, but for all the other social services that they feel entitled to despite not paying their share of taxes to support them, especially (in my country anyway) health care.

That increases the cost of my labour, and that of the other people still willing to work, making us less competitive internationally. Which causes more jobs to be outsourced or just vanish due to being economically unproductive.

Canada had conscription .. briefly, during WW1 and again during WW2. Not since.

Name one? Bonus points if the maker's business model doesn't revolve around selling your personal habits and data for profit.

Well, the anti-capitalists seem to believe that a centrally planned economy will create a socialist utopia where no one will have to work and everyone will be better off.

It's worked out so well in the past, after all.

Half the country collects money from .gov every month. Lots of mod points to go around in that group.

New wars in Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia. So far. Oh, and Iraq 3.

Yeah fuck that. I can host my own mail just fine, thanks. Google owns enough of the world.

Like all such proposals, it makes sense only until you realize that the people enforcing these rules will be government bureaucrats ruled by politicians, aka human beings, who will selectively enforce, abuse, bend and break the rules whenever they feel like it for personal gain, financial gain, political gain or just because they screw up.

The police lie. News at 11. When pressed in hearings, as I recall, they couldn't come up with even a couple of examples where the registry actually helped them solve a crime.

Hey, I'm talking about Canada. We export oil. We have no interests in the middle east to protect.
