AFAIK it’s acceptable if the parent is walking or sitting with the child. It’s only abusive if you tie the leash outside while you go run some errands in a store, or if left attached in the backyard.

Oh, yes, so much surprise.

And there I am on my bike being told by the police to be careful because I could traumatize a car driver that hits me.

Great to confirm that you can be fucking high while driving a lethal multi ton vehicle and if a cyclist of a pedestrian gets hit, it’s gonna be an “accident” from the driver, and the cyclist or pedestrian’s fault anyway, for not wearing a helmet, or not being visible enough.

Generally, yes. However, depending on how you get internet, it might be much more difficult to change an IP.

On cable, there is no guarantee that restarting your modem/router will change your IP. Lots of cable ISP have the policy to reassign the same IP as long as the DHCP lease can be renewed.

There are tricks like trying to unplug the modem for a long time, or change enough of its configuration/reset it to get a new lease. Or use a separate router that can change its MAC address.

Even if dynamic, some people can be “stuck” with the same IP for a while. In my case I can have the same one for months.

EDIT: I nearly deleted this comment.

As someone that had to learn English as a second language, that man has a strikingly limited vocabulary for someone that’s supposed to have it as his native language.

Someone should make a list of his greatest hits, like nasty, and disgraceful.

The rural region where I grew up has always been neglected by big telcos, so there were multiple local ones offering the same as the big ones, but for cheaper, or deep in the countryside.

Every village had its local phone company because Bell didn’t think they were profitable enough to deserve service. Unfortunately the last independent provider, Maskatel, was bought by Bell in 2018.

There is only one left, Cooptel, and it’s a cooperative. This is how my parents living on a rural road can get FTTH. If it weren’t for the fact that it’s a cooperative, Bell would probably have bought it too.

It’s frustrating to see that big telcos won’t put a cent into building a network into rural areas because they see no profit in it, but once a small local company becomes successful in doing that, they often end up being bought by big telcos.

Oh I’ll continue to say it because it depends where. In this specific case it was indeed the case. However my riding had 99% chances to go to the Liberals, it did, and my vote wouldn’t have made any difference.

I’m sure Donald Trump never watched porn. He only hanged a bit with Epstein. And grabbed them by the pussy. And paid to sleep with a porn actress. But surely he never watched porn.

It varies a lot. In my mother’s family it’s all informal, but my father uses formal vous with his parents and grandchildren do the same.

I’m also working with the public and I’m used to vouvoyer pretty much everyone except people clearly younger than me. I sometimes pass for a bit of a pedantic asshole but that’s just what I’m used to.

Just switch when the other person asks.

It’s a noble goal and a good message but it’s kind of ruined by the smaller patronizing text. It’s weird to tell people that the tram always has priority, but the people’s security is its priority. They should pick one.

Zathras tryed to warn, but no one listens to poor Zathras.

I briefly passed by Liège-Guillemins last year and walked a bit around to see it was still in construction.

I’m glad to see it’s now working.

Also, this made me chuckle a bit.

It was the same on the municipal level for me. I can call 311 or write to them, but it was kind of nice to be able to tweet at my neighbourhood and have people interacting with them and me on local issues.

I’m ashamed of some of the regions of Québec that voted Conservative. Being from rural Montérégie but now living in Montréal is like two different worlds when it comes to politics. The riding where most of my family lives was won by the Bloc Québecois but followed by the Conservatives. The riding next to it was won by the Conservatives.

I hate to admit it, but if it were not for the Bloc Québecois, there would probably be even more people here voting for the Conservatives.

With any luck the Conservatives will split back into two parties. It’s unlikely, but the splitting of the Conservatives would be a welcome surprise.
