Isn't this as expected, and isn't everyone saying the same thing? It's like the pareto principle except worse because the 2% is causing 98% of the harm?

I wonder how someone would have worded this question if they were agnostic to the result?

A worker (crossing guard) was killed on the job at his worksite (road intersection, municipal infrastructure designed by a professional engineer). It should not be any different than an indoor workplace.
If this was a worksite [it is a worksite], provincial authorities would close it until an investigation was completed and corrective actions implemented.

BlueSky is a bad site used by good people. That describes most social media sites. But BlueSky is egregiously unethical. Any of you can be disappeared for baseless reasons. I've been on social media for 17 years and never been suspended. BlueSky is the first place to do so – over Johnny Cash lyrics.

I saw a diver go around a crossing guard in the crosswalk and drive on the sidewalk and bike lane to go around them. When I drive the speed limit and show curtesy to pedestrians and cyclists the driver behind me usually honks. Just rage and entitlement everywhere.

That makes me feel more optimistic, thank you!

Also plural was not a typo. Sometimes I’m a drip person and sometimes the day calls for an espresso. 💁‍♀️

Maybe the list will seem more manageable with perfect coffee.

"Starting tomorrow, 1,000 people could lose their jobs," says Mayor Olivia Chow, including over 900 crossing guards, because the city won't be able to collect revenue from speed cameras after a provincial bill banning them. The ban also takes money away from capital projects like traffic calming.

I think it meant a meal on the street but yes… doubt that show represents the whole country at all haha.

Based on my research (several seasons of coronation street about 10 years ago) it is in fact “tea”.

Patagonia's own marketing team ran an ad asking consumers not to buy their products on black friday. I didn't understand this campaign at first... I do now. www.patagonia.com/stories/plan...
