This is the kind of asshole that ruins things for everyone. The day where litre bikes are illegal is soon approaching and this dumbass just accelerated the timeline.

Wanna go fast in your vehicle/on your bike? GO TO THE TRACK! They exist for a reason and there are plenty of options in the Toronto area. Fuck this guy.

That's fine. Most of Bick's pickles are soft and underwhelming anyway. This is what you'll want to buy instead. You can find them a Giant Tiger and elsewhere I'm sure. Best pickles of them all.

bright side to him winning is that it made a ton of people I don’t like really mad

I'm genuinely curious here so I have a question for you. Why is making people mad so appealing in this situation? I can't really see a true benefit beyond personal spite. Is that all it boils down to?

I was a year or two too young, but witnessed also!

I don't know what alternate reality you live in but this is just false across the board.

Canadians absolutely do not hate "anything American". Half the country wants to cosplay as Americans any chance they can. Our society is deeply ingrained with American hand me down values.

Sure, we're still very different but in the grand scheme of things if you compare the cultures of the world Canada is is America Light®.

ordering American whiskey is a good way to start a bar fight

You watch too much TV.

Make your next phone a Pixel and load GrapheneOS onto it. Problem solved.

You're not a centrist if you're throwing around "shitlibs".

That's literally the game the sim community has been begging for for ages now. What a shame.

Ontario is a boring as fuck, car-centric, anti-human shit hole. I say this as an Ontarian.

If all you want to see is how badly our urban planners have forsaken us, come to Ontario.

Go somewhere genuinely interesting like Québec, Newfoundland or BC. Hell, go to Yukon if you're feeling particularly adventurous.

Ontario has very little in terms of natural wonder. If you come here, you're going to Toronto for big city stuff or you're a sucker for punishment as you'll spend 75% of your trip driving places. At least if you go to QC, BC, or NL there's shit to look at while you spend your trip budget on fuel and car rental costs.

I still have my library of tracks from the mid 2000s on a drive in my PC. Hell, I still have my iPod Classic.

That said, I spend 99% of my time streaming music.

That said², I never ever engage with playlists. They only serve to poison the well that is my algorithm. I have a tightly curated Youtube video algorithm and, even though Youtube Music's algorithm is dogshit compared to Spotify, I still protect it at all costs.

You can still be an active listener on streaming services.

I'm currently three quarters of the way through Decapitated's Organic Hallucinosis record while I clean the house. For the last month straight I've been mainlining Steven Wilson's solo records as well as Porcupine Tree records. Music is not dead for the active listeners in the world. The focus should be on encouraging kids to appreciate a good album every once in a while.
