And to make it clear, they pay the most per capita to cover a minority of the population and then they pay for private insurance if they’re lucky enough to have access to it.

“I’m breaking up with you…”

“Sorry, who’s that again?”

They didn’t, no engine forward truck ever had a 40/60 ratio cab to bed.

But accidents in Canada are going down even though we buy just as many trucks so maybe the trucks aren’t the issue.

From an environmental perspective, mid size end full size get the same fuel economy.

90s trucks were pretty much exactly the same size, just not as tall.

Crew cab long bed are available on 250/2500 format and up so that’s not what people are buying anyway.

The truth is most cars are great these days even if some brands are ahead, but there’s no reason to want completely unsafe cars on the road.

“especially when the numbers are so small that it’s barely relevant”

Small like all the people who voted for fake candidates as a form of protest that would have been enough to swing the vote in the Liberals’ favor? “We’re so angry that we got let the person from the party that never supported any electoral reform take the seat instead of the party that tried to do something about it and failed, that will show them!”

Take responsibility for your acts, you decide to divide the vote you’re as much responsible for getting conservatives elected as any of their electors and the negative outcome is as much on you at it is on them.

You know your party won’t win but still decide to give them your vote instead of trying to get the party closer to them in power, that’s just wasting it in the end, might as well not get out of your house, the result will be the same.

There are consequences to your acts in life and no one can take the blame for those consequences but you.

Your partner will finally be pleased!

The good news is you can just call them “honey” and they’ll never know!

Maybe it doesn’t exist because there’s no market for it? 🤔

Then you end up with the smaller trucks we already have on the market or a Maverick that has a bed so small that it’s not that useful for actual truck stuff…

“I forget everything so I guess nothing’s important?”

“Well, in the grand scheme of things…”

I had already shared a link about modern Kei trucks in another comment, they get a safety rating of zero even with modern safety features.

Which was a reply to someone saying they want something like the second one from the left, which is an engine forward truck with 60% bed, which has never existed.

A Jeep FC-170 was 60% bed, but that’s like saying “Just get a Hino and have someone make a bed for it and daily drive it”.

The only thing that’s higher than 60% and that could still be considered a non commercial offering is a VW Bus Transporter at 61% bed since the nose is flatter (engine at the back) but it still doesn’t match “the second from the left” as asked by that other person.

I don’t know where they found the 64% bed truck and outside of commercial offerings (so it doesn’t have to meet regular safety standards) there’s no way to get a modern version of a truck with 60% bed unless it has a ridiculously long bed.

Someone posted the accidents stats and Canada is way lower than the USA even though buying habits are the same, so trucks aren’t the issue from that perspective.

But we’re comparing getting a Kei truck instead of regular truck in this part of the conversation so it actually does make sense to discuss the safety question.

The conversation you want to have is elsewhere in this post.

Doesn’t prevent some of them from doing it and just pulling out, they believe that nothing will happen because nothing has happened yet…

If I’m not mistaken I live in the place where vasectomy is the most common and some people still think like that. Talk to your the people around you and you’ll see.

If you can’t accept the fact that we don’t have a proportional system then the only problem here is you. FPTP requires that people vote strategically, it sucks, but that’s what it is.

I’m just as mad at the people who don’t vote at all, don’t worry, but if you vote and only end up splitting the vote so your vote ends up counting as a vote for the person completely opposite to who you want in power instead of the compromise that actually has a chance to get elected then you’re just as much part of the problem. Not realizing that means people around you (and potentially yourself) end up suffering. You can think it’s me guilt tripping you all you want, if you take the time to think about it you already know it to be true.

Toxic masculinity, all my friends that don’t want to be convinced have the worst excuses possible but most times it’s about not wanting to feel like a lesser man.

From experience you better do it while you’re single instead of waiting until you’re with someone and having to deal with the stress it will cause them when it becomes official…
