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.
my fellow Americans act like it's the promised land or something.
So do lemmy Canadians.
I've been saying this. Honestly, if the US ever goes full 1930s-Germany they're going to be our Poland. I wouldn't even want to move there if I have to leave, at least not long-term.
Austria, more like.

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.

Ah yes the Ford F9000 Pedestrian Pulverizer
That when his compensation isn't just small, it's inverted
my friend from ontario says:
"This might be for folks who work on oil rigs (Edmonton is close to several), a vehicle like this means they can travel as a full crew. It's still terrible but that might explain it."
They could get a crew van, fit more in it, and still fit in a standard parking spot.
Probably also quite a few thousands of dollars cheaper.
Fuck you, vans are gay and you're stupid cuck. /s
That said, I recently saw a guy that bucked the trend and pimped his family van instead of going full truck. Lowered suspension, wider wheels, hot vinyl and a spoiler. Looked pretty good tbh.

Stanz: It was all fine until dickless parked his truck. Mayor: Is that true? Venkman: Yes, this man has no dick.
Too much truck, not enough dick, as they say.
Slide under the midpoint with a battery powered angle grinder or a sawzall and cut 3/4 of the way through one side of the frame. Then you just let physics do the rest when they hit a good hard bump.
Xanthan gum and muriatic acid will make a nice corrosive paste that might do the trick if you're into edging with your sabotage.
