there should be a law that if a car goes past a certain size it's officially a public transit and people can barge in and expect you to drop them off along your ride.
I've been saying Canada is just Diet US. Credit where it's due, they elected the lesser dumbass. Also, healthcare. Good on y'all. Obviously Canada is better than the US but my fellow Americans act like it's the promised land or something. The cost of living is still to damn high, and they still have the same right-wing populist idiots we have. Also, I get our bills and coins suck. Dead old white man and all but how is the fucking royals supposed to be better? I think fascist monarchs are way worse. To any Canadians offended by this, please don't be. It was not my intent to offend you and I very much realize I am throwing stones from a glass house here. Love you guys!
I was diagnosed with cancer last year. I am now cured. Cost to me, $0.

Does canada have really lax limo safety laws? i recall hearing about stretch SUVs in the US that killed like entire friend groups during prom in the US because there's absolutely no regulation of these things in some places.
