My provincial government is considering putting a $37.0000 deductible on any injury lawsuit under a hundred grand to dissuade anyone that stubs their toe on the sidewalk or on private property, from running to a lawyer. I would support that. Gotta love Ford Nation!!!! [/quote) Actually, it was Kathleen Wynne..... believe it or not.
Life is too short to have a 'hate on' for so many things or people. Isn't it?

I would support that. Okay dal, tough as it might be, I admit that you're wrong. Your province isn't over serious about frivolous suits, eh, particularly if we're talking $37 Canadian. What happens if you substitute deductible for trigger lock? All you have to do is ask, and they knock the thirty-seven bucks off? How's your liabilty insurance rates doing, do these things actually make it to court? Me thinks, for a hundred percent commission on the first 37K, your progressive lawyers are welcoming the the new capitlist climate that you would support, eh? Can't you hear it now, hey dal, I know we talked about getting you a couple of million for stubbing your toe on the sidewalk in front of the mosque, but we're gonna settle for $37,002. Sorry, that was Thirty-seven thousand dollars. Now minus the lawyer's take, people will think twice about running to an ambulance chaser.

Less fortunate is why woodlot owners organized. Political parties had no interest. Under the big corporations, woodlot owners/farmers were either giving their wood or labour away. People of colour and drug-addicted sit on boards and vote like everyone else. The exclusive club days are over. Now we're the club in more ways than one. And why not? We own the land. It's most unintelligent and old-fashioned to let anyone crap on our heads.

LOL I am surprised to hear Orville Redenbacher initiated this.

Trying to curb the thousands of lawsuits against cities/local governments. Of course the millions saved would go to government housing and windmills...lol

Aren't progressives just entitled to the redistribution so they can engineer the culture that they feel like you need? Don't worry, these lawsuits are in the budget, how else can they govern? Lol, eh?

Wow! I can't believe I'm reading a political thread and no one has been personally threatened, humiliated, cursed, or dehumanized.
Well, those nasty lawyers are taking it on the chin, but they likely deserve it anyway. It is nice to see our dysfunctional little family disagreeing and stating the reasons for their side of the argument in a civil manner.
As for me, I'm not buying anything from a store named Dicks...Geo

The historically bad reputation of lawyers goes back to the time of Shakespeare (Let's kill all the lawyers" in Bill Shakespeare's Henry VI, Part 2, Act IV, Scene 2.) when William Shaksepeare and Melvin of Belli had a parking dispute in front of the Globe Theatre which both men had tickets to see a Henry (“Hank”) the Williams, Jr. concert. Melvin was a local lawyer who scooted his vehicle front-ways into the space that William was backing into. Hot words were exchanged and Shakespeare had a better PR man and audience than Melvin ,who should have known better to fight with someone who has squads of Mead-drunken actors and screenwriters who can get the word out. Edited from the above quote over time was the line: “That fat bastard stole my parking place.” Everyone should know that the biggest problem in today’s society is caused by improperly sized footwear foisted upon the unsuspecting public by the military industrial footwear complex (take that, cb.). Geo, back me up on this. It’s all I have. Gil

Sorry Gil, I'm afraid we're dead meat here...Geo
I just want to go back to the civil war/cornbread thread and change the subject to something relevant like whether Richard the Third got a bad rap from the Tudors and ended up buried in a sack under a grocery store parking lot, when he was really an alright guy.

Hilarious!  Doesn't change the fact that Bill was right.
