supermik Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 9 people have been shot in a restaurant. Gunman is dead! Have any Canadian p&b’rs been shot? If so, did it hurt? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I’ve been to Toronto several times before and yet to get shot. Going back in November, would like to think I won’t get shot this time either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I too have been to Toronto and haven't been shot either to the best of my knowledge (although if I have then I think people are just making a big deal out of it). I've also been to Nova Scotia twice and haven't even been stabbed, never mind shot, yet they have the bloody nerve to call themselves 'New Scotland'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpar Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Lived in Toronto just over 4 years now, still have not been shot. There was a murder outside my old house in 2015, I woke up after hearing a loud argument, followed by some really loud bangs, then a lot of screaming and shouting. Looked outside and saw a girl laying on the ground. A Police officer was there very soon after trying to resuscitate her, followed by dozens of other cops as there were already a lot in the other area due to shooting at a nearby nightclub just before that. The girl died and as yet both murders are unsolved. https://globalnews.ca/news/2145968/multiple-victims-after-shooting-near-muzik-nightclub/ This year is the worst so far for shootings since I moved here, 224 incidents this year, 27 deaths by shooting. With the exception of the shootings in Greektown last night, most seem to be targeted shooting, so I've never felt particularity unsafe. I still intend to move out of the city in the next few years though. I have fired a gun once, in a gravel pit on my friend's reserve up north, good fun even if I was a terrible shot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cop in that video is what I imagine Kevin James, Adam Sandler, Brad Garrett would look like if they were all mixed together.

Cerberus Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Buses everywhere are generally for the bams of society. The buses in Glasgow were a hive of scum and villainy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Usually the only way to get to Niagara Falls is by bus. The train finished half way there as I recall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Public transport in North America is the worst in the developed world, and most of the 3rd world, but the long distance buses are ok, better than most of the trains anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpar Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 The cost of car insurance if you have an address in the city, constant heavy traffic in and out of the GTA and cost of/lack of parking downtown means using public transport is very common in Toronto, there does tend to be a hierarchy when it comes to the class of passengers though, subway tends to be the best, maybe because it's the hardest to sneak on to, there are hardly any jakies, followed by streetcars (trams) then buses are the lowest of the low. If you don't live near a subway or streetcar line you may as well live in the country 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
