Looks like you cross the road when the signal allows it?

I believe ideally these types of crossings allow pedestrians and cyclists to use all four crossings at the same time. Similar to crossings in Japan.

Just my guess with a quick glance.

Yeah most men usually round up to the next inch.

Thanks for the clarification. I totally forgot it isn't federally regulated.

There are also student wages which allow you to pay students under 18 even lower wages. Fun stuff!

It is sadly a part of canadian restaurant culture but not seen as mandatory. Canadian service workers are regulated to be paid at least minimum wage.

Companies mostly use tipping here as an excuse for the wages to not come out of their own pockets. If tips received equal or exceed minimum wage then they don't have to fork out the cash. If the employee only made $10hr in tips then the employer fills in the rest.

Because of this, I mostly refuse to tip. I'm not going to subsidise a restaurant paying their employees. If you can't afford to pay people you shouldn't be in business.

What do you use your keyboard/computer for and for how long if you don't mind my asking?

Have you watched any of SNW or are you deciding to pass judgement on a show based on... Nostalgia?

Its a really good show and the musical episode doesn't feel out of place in an episodic Star Trek show. I think you should give it a good try. The show is a lot of fun and is a return to classic episodic trek with great stories intertwined.

I'm glad I could be of a little help. Nations have been trying to clearly define these things for centuries.

I think your final statement is why I'm here. A lot of internet discourse around war immediately resorts to calling everything a war crime. That's an incredibly precise label and we can't always be certain. What I know for sure is that war is hell and undue suffering is wrong.

I responded above I hope that provides enough. Though I didn't speak to article a).

It may sound like a legal cop-out but some countries make a distinction between "The Red Cross" and "a red Cross". It's a weird one. Probably requires more scrutiny.

And as to your question of "Would this be a crime committed in war?" Or "A war crime?" That's where lots of legalese comes in. It may be that one nation sees it as a crime where one doesn't. Or the UN finds it a war crime but another organisation doesn't or is a partial signatory or conscious observer and so on.

This is then something I understand is moved into the restitution phase post war where both nations sit at the table and dole out various legal requirements, PW transfers and the likes. Like a two sided lawsuit but instead of just money it's money and human lives.

Which is nice.

The part of the article we would be most concerned with would probably be:

(d) medical facilities, medical equipment, medical supplies or medical transportation;

This, in my understanding is generally considered to be actual hospitals and field hospitals;

Transport: ambulance, Helicopters and planes;

Medical equipment: critical equipment and tools;

Medical supplies: Supply drops or small deliveries en route to a military unit.

Ultimately, I'm not a lawyer, I just teach some material. If there was an argument as to whether or not it breaches the protocol that would be up to an international criminal court, maybe UN scrutiny? I start to lose the ball around here.

I don't think so. Unless maybe it was fully and instantly reversible at the request of the person in question. Maybe.

Thank you for the level headed response! I generally avoid having these conversations because people don't often react well to me going: "well ackshually..." To you know... Human pain and suffering and the horrors of war.
