The solution is simple, install facial recognition software and cameras (already there) make a database of the lunatics and criminals then ban them from the system, arrest them if they are seen on the cameras. It might not be perfect, but it will reduce the number of incidents on subways and buses while giving justice to victims. Public transit is under surveillance, get used to it, or don't use it, it is now, the difference is facial recognition software and AI will be monitoring it, humans still make the final call, just like here when @sunni squashes someone!

Same thing is going on here with transit in Edmonton. Glad I can still drive but found out last night my registration expired in January so have to get that done tomorrow and hope I don't get pulled over on the way.

Been going on here for some time now. Especially in the Northeast LRT areas. Not sure what it's like now, but it pays to have some street smarts if you're taking it later at night.

We don't even have Greyhound up here any more so I haven't had to take a bus for years. I haven't lived in a city of any size for 40 years at least and hope I never have to again. After my trip to Edmonton last December I couldn't wait to get back home. I drive like a little old lady down there with all the traffic and crap going on. Don't know how people stand it.

You have the same outlook as my uncle down in Pincher Creek. He passed up some lucrative work in the Oil sector decades ago because he didn't want to deal with us "city slickers". It was tough for our family to get used the city after my Dad left the service as well. It's a different feel.

My mom is from the Pincher Creek area. She grew up on a farm about 5 miles from Glenwoodville, now Glenwood. Used to love going out there to visit the family. I have an uncle that's an elder in the Mormon church in Cardston. Weird town.

I even have a book from there called, Hillspring and It's People, 1906 - 1975, that has info about all the families in the area that my had when we downsized her 7 or 8 years ago.

Small world. My Mom's family is from the Crowsnest Pass. Bellevue, Blairmore, Hillcrest (where my Great Grandfather perished at the age of 30), and a bunch of other coal mining areas in around there. We went there every summer as kids. Hiked up the train tracks to the Frank slide to hunt for minerals and fossils every summer. Here's the book I have from my folks.

I wouldn't drink out of the cat's dish FFS. We get our water out of the Cee-ment pond and do our business in a hole in the ground like gawd intended.

Looking forward to spring so my butt doesn't freeze to the seat no-mo.

Gotta have a smoke going in there to keep the mosquitoes off my ass.

It's vented out the back anyway.

it needs a reality check that they are still a country built upon racism , phobias and more

Very disappointed to see a staff member taking a very guilded and narrow view of this STILL great Country of ours, and frankly is just as racially biased and distorted as those you sweepingly accuse. Statements of intolernce, blended with ignorance are no way forward and is the language of division and hatred.

I am canadian. we have issues if you think we dont youve got a blindfold on its not narrow vision its reality.

if you think speaking the truth and honesty about the actual issues addressing and currently facing our country is "division" and hatred thats on you

Our country is literally digging up bodies of dead children that were murdered by catholics and ripped away from their families. the last residential school closed in 1990.

I want a better canada and i want canada to step up and stop acting like its so amazing and has no issues when we are built upon and still have racism and injustice in our country.



Being an admin has nothing to do with my personal opinions they are separate.

Where was that in your slanted rhetoric mate? Your 'opinion of the "truth" is nothing to do with any 'issues', or fact you didn't state. You have no idea what I think, about anything but your statement, and your tone 'albeit free to give your opinion, is unbecoming of a staff member, IMO. Hopefully your attitude doesn't indicate an indorsement by RIU, maybe you should look over your own TOU and mod your bias toward Our Country Maybe give some context, or offer solutions other than condemnation. As a staff member people look up to you for leadership, you wear the badge, live up to it. I just fly the flag.

We all have to do better, for our Children and Our Country. Myself included.

In my experiences encountering people with exuberant national pride, they’re usually intolerant, ignorant assholes. Just to be clear, I’m not saying Rex is, just others I’ve encountered (think Don Cherry).

Only the ignorant deny systemic racism is a problem in Canada.

this is v common in canada people absolutely refuse to accept there are issues, and if you speak out oh no watch out
its also v common people get upset when admins and mods arent robots and have personal opinions, like we somehow cant be a mod and be a person but thats just one way people try to get nit picky

People that served in Canada's Military and civil service industry might have a slight disagreement with your statement. Keep making sweeping generalizations on what people's thoughts, motives, and ideologies are though. And nobody has denied system racism here. That's on you.

To me it sounds like you don’t leave your basement suite very often?
