    The future of the U.S. abortion battle: Think pills, not clinics | CBC News WWW.CBC.CA Abortion is an old battle. Pills are the new one. Most abortions are now with pills taken at home and we're about to witness a multi-front feud throughout the United States. Abortion foes may find it harder to crack down on pills than on clinics — and some Americans see Canada as a front in that battle.

    Aitchison looks like the best choice.

    All of those places are in the City of Toronto, and are part of the 2.7 million population. Fair, my perception of "sketchy" may be different than yours. My last trip to J&F convinced me I didn't want to go back without a good reason. That said, every neighbourhood in Toronto is an order of magnitude safer than where I lived in Brazil. Yes. If we raze all the $2-4 million homes, it could be made walkable. If you get rid of the Parking around Go's, you cut off the access to many Go Train stations. For the most part, they are mainly commuter trains (or for suburbanites to go to Raptor/Blue Jay/Leafs games).

    My social media bubble in Canada seems to be focused on two things: 1) Whether abortion rights in Canada are "fragile" and whether the conservatives will pass an anti-abortion law 2) That anti-abortion is driven by old white men trying to control women. These are the candidates for the CPC leadership. Care to guess which is the pro-lifer? Stereotypes are not helpful.

    Is any of Scarborough walkable? How much of Etobicoke? Downsview, North York, etc. There are lots of sketchy areas in Toronto that I wouldn't go walking at night. Regent Park, Rexdale, Jane and Finch, etc.

    The problem is that a very small population (probably less than 500k) live like that -- the other 7.5 million in the Golden Horseshoe don't.

    Perhaps in Montreal - it's pretty walkable already. Maybe Vancouver. Toronto (the GTA) is a lost cause. Making Edmonton walkable would be interesting...

    That will take even longer. They're not working on that either.

    Canada's electricity grid will need substantial changes to help achieve net zero: report | CBC News WWW.CBC.CA Canada will need to make aggressive changes to its electricity systems to meet increased demand, driven partly by the uptake of electric vehicles, according to a new report. Infrastructure takes a long time to get put in place. This has been a clear whole in the climate plans for years. Commitments to make them aligned are meaningless without the appropriate action to meet the commitments.

    I suspect you're right. I'll be honest, I don't know the regional breakdowns in the US -- but I suspect it is very politically rational for some Congressmen/Senators to support abortion for their own individual election, even though it doesn't make sense for the party as a whole.

    According to this morning's poll from Politico's (page 184): Do you think abortion should be: Total Male Female 25% 21% 29% Legal in All Cases 31% 33% 29% Legal in most cases 24% 26% 21% Illegal in most cases 11% 12% 11% Illegal in All Cases 9% 8% 11% Don't know / No Opinion The gender divide does not seem to be as wide some as some are suggesting here.

    I was clearly trolling the lack of inclusive language that was being used here.

    Men can have wombs too.

    Anyone from any country can get an abortion in Canada. Not sure why this is even getting an article.
  17. AbsolutSurgen
    I don't see why Ontario would be preferable to New York state. Why is this not a men's issue as well?
  18. AbsolutSurgen
    Leave it alone, it's working fine the way it is. Introducing laws will just fuck it up. First someone will say that Abortion needs to be banned for sex selection purposes and after certain points in the pregnancy -- and then we'll slowly devolve into a huge debate that will only make things worse.

    I will also say: I am happy that the Canadian Supreme Court generally does not try to take over from the legislative branch. I am happy that evangelicals have very little sway in Canadian politics

    I do not know a single one of their names. This makes me happy. [And, despite what they look like, they are not Santa's elves.]

    In Canada, it is illegal to shoot a handgun anywhere else other than a licensed gun range. It must be transported unloaded in a locked case away from view. The person transporting it must have a permit to transport it. I saw people walking around with legal guns on their hips in the US. No one is talking about banning hunting rifles -- which this dude had as well. Unfortunately the Police do not keep track of the origin of guns in any statistics, however, there is lots of evidence to suggest the biggest source of street/gang guns are illegal imports from the states.

    We need these guys: Chen Kenichi was amazing to watch.

    Drone carrying 11 guns found stuck in tree near Canada-U.S. border in southwestern Ontario BETA.CTVNEWS.CA Lambton County OPP are investigating after a drone carrying handguns got stuck in a tree. Banning hand gun collections won't solve the problem of guns on the streets of Toronto.

    The idea was to suggest that the amount of people he is saying are pieces of shit is rather large and diverse. He is free to think of them any way he chooses.
