- About me

Father, Husband, Author,
Road Safety Advocate, working as a Draftsman, trained as Health & Safety rep. but not actively doing this (we don't know why)
Gemini,
Meat Eater & Enjoyer,
Tea Drinker (I will have an IceCap though)
I was at 2004 Summer Comedy Workshop at Humber College Lakeshore Campus
Mark Breslin (Yuk Yuks founder)the chair of Humber Comedy Program, has a quote on my book backs of my comedy shorts.
I was a contestant on Last Comic Standing 2007 in Montreal, though I did not get a routine out ANT now knows I'm a Magnetic mutant.
Most contestants spent the day at Starbucks waiting for their audition time. I did not make cutting room floor unfortunately, and was out of camera for the mountie and horse poop shots.
I am trained in Racing from Jim Russell Racing Drivers School in Mont Tremblant Quebec graduated F1600 in 1989 F2000 in 1990 and did grad run-offs in 1991. Pictures in my photos.
I have a custom helmet I used for Charity Go Kart events and a radio station lawnmower race you can find in my photos.
Listen to me on iLike artist
John Ross Harvey Some free Mp3s can be downloaded.
Needs a much bigger paycheque than I have, bills, mortgage, insurance, gasoline, food, fast-food, curling.
I have acted as an Extra in Toronto for a martial arts/ kickbox type movie called "Nothing To Lose" not the Tim Robbins one, a film with a guy named Garza, not paid, I believe Garza is now dead.
I was a paid extra in the TV show STREET LEGAL, where I sat behind defense attorney for a Jeans Commercial Ad which implied rape, Olivia (the star that remembered none of her lines) was prosecuting and lost the case.
I wrote this poem in 1993
I was going to blog a continuation into a song lyric
but its glitchy at present.
My Poem:
To Listen is to be heard
To Speak is to be seen
To say nothing is to be Noble
To be Noble is to be great
To be less than Noble is the Common Man’s life
Thus Speaks the Common Man

Fear the jrharv. I showed my ass on the Lost discussion and he handed it back to me on a silver plater. So now, all speeders must tremble in his wake.

I have to hand it to you. You have found one of the most negative reasons for supporting freedom of speech I know of. The other is to let people have their say just before the great clamp down so that all the enemies of tyranny reveal themselves to the would be dictator.jrharv on Tuesday, 18 May 2010 05:13Steve V on Thursday, 27 May 2010 14:33
jrharv on Tuesday, 18 May 2010 05:13I suspect with regard to the quote. Freedom of speech I respect, freedom of choice obviously, but using that freedom to tell others NOT to do or read or listen or decide something on their own, is abuse. If you don't like me fine, your choice, don't be telling the world your opinion is the only one which matters, allow people their own choice. (This is not directed at you Steve, just people that operate in that manner which the quote represents)
Steve V on Thursday, 27 May 2010 14:33Freedom is a two edged sward. We must tolerate, even while expressing out disagreement, the absolute right to be wrong. You are correct, if anyone equates telling you that you are wrong with telling you that you have no right to say such things, that person is a tyrant.

Alternate Universe
It seems to me at least
That all motorists around me
Must be from an Alternate Universe
Where Left and Right are Interchangeable
And counting starts from #2
It's certainly not people of this Earth
That could possibly not understand
Why Left turns do not mean right lanes
And Right turns do not mean left lanes
That counting one lane at a time is
A number they are unfamiliar with
The same Alternate Universe Motorists
Think fire lanes are parking spaces
I've never confused a Honda Civic for a Fire Truck
Or a Minivan for an Ambulance
I'm not from an Alternate Universe
They also confuse intersections with parking
By not understanding that a 20' car
Will not fit on a 4" line of white paint
And more than one, still don't fit
Traffic does move in opposite directions to your ego
Alternate Universe Motorists think the road is only in their direction
Have we been invaded?
Signs are conclusive
They certainly are not being read.

Lanes Are Not The Answer
Politicians and Transport regulators
All seem to think that
More lanes creates less traffic.
I disagree.
Case in point
Travel Highway 401 east from Toronto to Montreal
At every junction that lanes increase and decrease
It is a traffic jam
On the majority of the highway
All the way to Quebec
It is a two lane affair, with little or no traffic
It's very simple if you need to exit, you use the right lane
If you're a slow truck on a hill, you use the right lane
if you are not exiting and have to pass a slow truck, use the left lane
The more lanes you add, the greater the stupidity multiplies
The reason is very simple
Motorists are Illiterate and Geometrically Challenged
The concept that their rectangular vehicle does not fit in a triangle
Is rocket science to them
A picture diagram on a diamond shaped road sign is ignored or misunderstood
You don't have to have an architecture degree or diploma
To contemplate a difference in shapes
A five year old could do it
Yet the majority of motorists on highways and city streets
Where lanes merge higher or lower, cannot comprehend what to do
This is evident on Rutherford Road between Highway 400 and Jane street
From Yonge to just before Jane it is a two lane affair
Very few jams, relatively smooth flow
At Jane it is three lanes each way plus turning lanes to left and right
At intersections there can be between eight and ten lanes
And this is the area that barely moves at all.
It is also the area that pedestrians are most likely to be struck
As seeing around all vehicles in ten lanes of traffic is dangerous
The pedestrian signals have been timed at 32 seconds.
3.2 s per lane for a healthy teenager may be fine
Its far too quick for a senior or a family pushing a baby stroller
The Master Traffic Plan wants to add a Bus Lane
I'd prefer the Bus Lane take over the 3rd lane on each side
That doesn't solve the issues
Most motorists are oblivious to signage and will travel in that lane anyway
I've observed this on Don Mills Road North of Eglinton
A three person commuter lane for buses and carpools is on right side
99% of people in it are single occupant motorists
This is fine if they need the lane to turn at an intersection
But the majority of them are not using it that way
It is a shortcut
Same principal with HOV lanes on Highway 404 and 403
Give people a dedicated lane for commuters of more than two occupants
And many single occupant motorists will abuse it
I'll bet the best city for traffic does not have multiple lanes
Toronto and GTA has been classified as worst commute worldwide
It easily has more lanes to travel than any other city
More lanes does not help alleviate traffic
It causes it.
How can you prevent traffic jams?
Read a road sign and don't push your luck.
Triangles will never fit rectangles
No matter how many diamond shaped road signs you ignore
People who do not merge courteously deserve to get stuck
Signal intent, and don't wait for the end.
This is true on all GTA highways including Don Valley Parkway
Where most merging motorists refuse to accept space provided
By knowledgable drivers to merge
And push their luck until the lane is no more
It's a bad attitude
Driving is a courtesy not a pleasure
Give us the pleasure of some courteous respect
If you do, traffic will improve.

Moronic Motorcyclists
I have no problem with motorbikes
If they respect road rules like everyone else
Organized Bikers like Brotherhood of Ontario
And others of a similar nature
Do respect road rules at least in my presence
Always signalling lane changes and being civil
By obeying speed limits and riding in a lane
In single file for the most part
And wearing appropriate leather protection.
It's the young kids on superbikes
Bikes with ridiculous speeds
That seem to have no respect for anyone.
Today one such motorbike motorist
Wearing a t-shirt and shorts no less
Drove south on DVP past last exit in right hand lane
In order to exit left for Lakeshore Blvd.
Passing several cars including me to be
Exactly in front of me at the traffic lights for Lakeshore.
As the light turned he went to the right lane
No signal, sped to pass cars in front of me
Then signalled left in intersection cutting off many
Which caused a backlog as the light turned amber
He made it through to the left, the vehicle in front of me
Barely got through and I
Was left in no man's land, across rail tracks
And blocking a bike path
When I had entered that space the light was green and
I was proceeded with the vehicles in front of me
But the Motorcycle's dart to the left from the right
Caused a chain of heavy braking
Which left me as the victim
Across a Rail Track which I do not do in traffic
Blocking a Bike Path which I also do not do
All because a Motorbike wants to use his speed
To cut the lines
I'm not impressed
Similar Motorcycle Motorists in Heavy Traffic
Confuse Lines with Lanes
To Illustrate an "i" is SKINNY and an "a" is FAT
Obviously the "a" is a safer location
Lines do not equal lanes
I don't care how fast and skinny you think you are
Running down a line in traffic on a motorbike
is an invitation to getting hit
It is not your ticket to freedom
They will not expect you there
Because you're not supposed to be there
This is also true for unpowered bicycles
Pedalled by humans, that refuse to wait
Patiently like all law abiding citizens do
In vehicles in real lanes
I could use stronger language but my point's been made
If they respect road rules like everyone else

Colours, Shapes, and Counting. Simple Math. Not Rocket Science.
What colour are traffic lights?
Red, Yellow, Green (you really think an elemenary school kid says Amber?)
What shape is a car?
Rectangle
What shape is an escape lane?
Triangle
What shape was the sign you didn't read?
Diamond, ok a tipped square
What is the most important 4 letter word when driving?
STOP
How many lanes do you get when turning once?
1
What's the difference between 1 and 2?
2 is a loser, 1 is a winner
What is the difference between Left and Right?
Frankly most GTA motorists cannot figure this out
They get it wrong frequently, related to questions above
What's the difference between a parking lot and an intersection?
Motorists park in intersections, drivers park in parking lots
What's the difference between a fire lane and a parking spot?
Fire lanes are for EMERGENCY vehicles ONLY!
Your Nissan getting groceries is NOT an EMERGENCY!
Does a rectangular car fit into a triangular lane?
NO, start reading the diamond shaped road sign.

Cheap DNA Test
Take the kid in question
Ask them to do a #2 in the toilet
Once they've succeeded
Do not flush
Leave it coating the bowl walls
Then
Ask the suspected father
To do a #1 against the bowl
If his #1 removes their #2
They're related
I just saved you $1000's of dollars
