I don't think it's uncommon for PD to reuse these Public Awareness ads other from countries. I've seen reruns of an anti-drunk driving ad made in Hong Kong (with clearly distinguishable skyscrapers found only in HK) in Toronto, Ontario, Canada occasionally (most often during the holidays) for years.

Well it's depressing that they might be Canadian but one woman is wearing track pants with Canada printed on the leg. They sound more like Ontario though rather than Nova Scotia.

They just came out of Midland, Ontario it looks like and were headed South:

Can't find anything on the Net. The intersection is so small Google Streetview hasn't got there yet.

Going slow over the video, looks like the guy road raged, bumped their car, flew by them, flipping the bird, didn't make the corner. Probably stolen truck I would think.

Ontario Provincial Police answered the 911.

Very interesting, thanks for the additional info. I believe that the plantiff paying isn't subject to appeal in Ontario, I could be wrong, but I have a few lawyer friends I'll ask.

It's a neat look at how the laws work for and against someone.

Like he says in the video - the US has plenty of rules like that, and he won. The rule did its job and the court did its job, for what that's worth.

Under rule 11, his team claimed that Smart Options brought their lawsuit without doing their due diligence - they sued Braxton before they even looked at the product he was offering. Under that rule, his reasonable legal costs would be covered by the plaintiff, and the court agreed with them.

The plaintiff had the right to appeal, both the original ruling and the rule 11 ruling, which they chose to do. Braxton didn't want to wait for the appeal to be resolved (because it's expensive to wait for the system) so he opted to go into mediation with Smart Options and they scared the shit out of him. That's how he lost (until he brought Spangenberger on board).

The problem (in this case) isn't the legal mechanism itself - it's the fact that it takes a lot of time for these issues to be finally resolved, and that time span can kill a small business. I would guess that holds true in Ontario as well.

There's a law in Ontario (and I'm sure it's similar in the rest of Canada,) that says if someone takes you to court and attempts to sue you, if you win your case, the person who tried to sue you has to pay your legal defences. That's a light paraphrasing, I'm sure there's more nuance, but it dramatically reduces the civil cases. If you're going to sue someone, you better be damn sure you're in the right, or else you may end up paying their legal fees.

I think I already know the answer, but why doesn't America do that?

I have to agree 100%. I'm getting very tired of the invalid stereotypical portrayal of a Canadian as a person wearing a red plaid shirt, a toque, and saying "Eh" about 20 times more frequently than anybody I've ever known. And his 10 things are either differences everyone is aware of or they're invalid. I've never used or heard the term soaker as he describes it, plenty of Canadians burn their marshmallows, and we've all eaten smores. Ironically, his comment about Americans who've never been anywhere is also applicable to him, at least when it comes to travelling within Canada. He comes across as a typical person who has grown up in Ontario and believes that the rest of us are just like him. Oh and yeah, he's just not funny.

This is Ontario, not Manitoba.

And I'm about ready to take a road trip out to Kenora and find whoever was screaming "LET THE FEMALE COP ARREST HER" and punch him in his damn mouth.

Seriously. She's being arrested, she was legitimately not being beaten, and she was very obviously resisting. At that point, a different gendered cop wouldn't have done anything.

And why does the fact that she died have anything to do with this? She wasn't choke-slammed, shot, hell, I didn't even see any punches thrown in her general direction, so the title of this is completely and utterly misleading.

There's enough stupid videos of cops being retards on the sift, this, however, isn't one that needs to be here.

I'm not including Ontario.

Unfortunately, unless it has changed, in Ontario if the police pull over your vehicle and ask for your id, you have to give it to them. I believe that's the law, but it may have changed.

How're ya now? That's pretty close, and a common error in dialect assignment, as the Classic Received Cape Breton is often confused with the Middle South Ontario (the St. Mary's / Listowel /Wingham Triangle Region to be precise) from which this originates. The telltale difference is the use of "Give 'er", uncommon in the MSO, popular in the CRCB.

(and yes, we do speak like this)

Yeah, Ontario has the rule now too, implemented a couple of years ago, but for a specific reason: there was apparently an idiotic game some big rigs drivers would play, trying to knock off an officer's hat with their side mirror. With predictably horrible results.

To avoid the lame defense that it was an oopsie, drivers are not forced to vacate the lane.

It was extended to cover all emergency vehicles and tow trucks last year too IIRC.

And I did actually see a woman get pulled over by a cop for buzzing by in the right lane - that, of course, is the appropriate response, rather than a ridiculous pepper spray attack. Wow.
