I assume it has something to do with grounding, but I've never seen this before, so I'm curious of its function and need on a particular pole.

I get that this is in Toronto, but I was looking forward to a version of Grand Theft Auto based on Canadian stereotypes.

Imagine driving calmly to apologize to mobsters and recognizing sex workers for the legitimate workers they are.

I love the way you're constructing the game mechanics. What are the police encounters like?

Oh, the police just beat the shit out of you. Not everyone in Canada is nicer.

But the police also speak French so that’s cool

I'm very happy with them, too. I was a little surprised that some elements are even more brutal than the US version:

The police just crashes into your vehicle like that?

Moose are very tall, so their large bodies, which weight upwards of 700 kg (1500 lb), are at or above the height of the windshield of most cars. When hit, the front of the car will take the legs out while the body goes through the windshield, a-pillars, roof, driver, front passenger, and whatever else is in the way. This kills the moose.

Moose didn't take an elevator to the roof before someone pushed him off for insurance fraud?
