Also, "usually trouble".
Have very rarely seen anyone have trouble crossing. Unless it's Tesla, BMW or Audi SUV, then just let then go pass, because they can't drive anyways.
Comment on Canadian innovation.

I just walk across it.
Universal Healthcare is fantastic and if you don’t use it fully you’re missing out on a huge benefit of being Canadian.

In Vancouver ICBC pays off double if you get hit by an EV.
Wait seriously? I’m being an idiot right now aren’t I?
It’s more environmentally conscious if you get hit by an EV so Vancouver council passed the double pay out law last year.
They gotta exaggerate to justify doing this.

I suppose, but where else do you get to legally threaten a bad driver with a brick? That sounds like fun!
SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 8 months ago
It’s Vancouver, it’s only legal if you’re smoking crack while you wave the brick.
VPD loves to harass anyone else.

You can’t ruin Canada for me. It’s a golden land to my north where everyone is polite in both English and French, the people put cheese and gravy on their French fries and no one goes into healthcare debt!

I’m American, and happened to be on a tourist bus in London. Sitting to my right were a group of Quebecois. To my left a pair of Newfies. I talked to both groups independently over the course of the trip. Both groups were incredibly friendly and engaging to talk to! However, both groups were staring daggers at each other whenever they’d look in each other’s direction. Each group of the Canadians were not particularly polite to each other.

Not everyone is polite.

Montrealer here, I just got back from my first trip to NYC, maybe I went to the wrong places but these people were all sweet and soft spoken, maybe not chatty in particular but far from rude and all the other shit I’ve heard about New Yorkers. I and my fellow Canadians are definitely more rude and loud than this.
I saw an old meme from the second world war that described people from different countries and Canadians were described as hot headed and I can definitely see that image when compared to the Americans I’ve met in American cities.

Spying on your nudes with their illegal stingray vans between beatings of the mentally ill. The VPD SOP.
