Pilot here. We all know about airspray and their industry corner... Pay is shit. Hours are shit. Contract is shit. Offer 300k, week on-week off rotations and we can talk.

Typical argument for someone who's never lived in a place with speed cameras. The cameras themselves, sure, they're fine.

They start getting people going 10-over, but people adjust their habits accordingly, revenue drops, now they target people going 2 over.

Next they target people in school zones. All well and good. But we need to increase revenue. Parks are now school zones. Trails near the roads are now school zones. And now we're expanding the zone times from 6am-9pm. Love my 36 in a 30 along a 60 road at 2047pm ticket. GREAT.

Finally, after people get used to all the above they start messing with the limits themselves. 6 lane roads, down to 40... but not the entire thing. lets have a road that went through town from 110-90-60-90-110 turn into 110-50-90-60-70-30-40-70-50-90-60-90-110-50-110. in 8km, speed cameras at every reduction! [Calgary 16th ave] Miss a zone and you're screwed.

But that's not enough. We need to grow revenue. Lets have forward facing cameras implimented too, and take points. That way our friends in insurance can benefit too. They will even pay a bounty for each person caught.

The same goes for red lights - see the winnipeg 0.5second yellow light camera scandal.

until every single comment and post has a capacha and 3factor behind it, the site will be overrun with bots... and when it does... the frustration will create a wasteland.

Can't get a job? Just go to school!

-- Okay, I went to school. I can't get a job.

Stop being lazy, go take an in-demand field!

-- Okay, I took a degree that's in demand, I can't find a job in my field that pays enough to live.

Pick yourself up by your bootstraps. More education is always better. Do a Masters!

-- Okay I have a masters in Mecanical Engineering; an in demand skill. I will be bankrupt from loans in 2 years.

Can't pay your loans?! You gotta hunker down and do the work, join a trade!

-- Okay I took a pre-apprentiship course that plays with my degreeS and... Can't get a job without a red seal; cant get a red seal without a job...

Why are you just playing video-games all day? Why dosen't anyone want to work anymore?!?

Do what everyone ELSE does when traveling to a new country; respect the local culture, customs, and do what others around you do. Be observant and respectful.... chances are unless you're from the south no one will even know you're American.

Also realize most Canadians are aware that Americans who are a problem don't have a passport and have never left the country; while the Americans who travel are not the problem. We have our own rednecks too, we call that Alberta.

The word means "Come meet the villagers" In native Algonquin tounge.

I have a ton of pinned map points for both my work and travel all over the world from the last decade or so... does anyone know of a way to export these from google in a format that will easily plug into openmaps or some other app? There are thousands and manually doing this is not really an option...

Someone needs to glue a monster mould to the top of that sub...

People are too asleep to realize what is coming; and the extremists are too empowered now to stop. Historically... We're boned. Its past time to fight and now time to flee while that's still an option.

He's just doing literally the exact same thing every dictator in history has done to seize power out of a corrupted democracy... The parallels are loud and the future now is highly predictable.

So, they are building a DeHavaland-Canada Dash-7 ?

No surprise; It's seemingly all bots arguing with other bots now anyway.
