Who's Suing Whom - Alberta Edition
A 14 year old Alberta girl is being sued by a home owner after the home in which she was sitting went on fire. Fortunately no one was hurt but the house and the neighbor's house were damaged. It sounds like she's the scapegoat for the insurance companies who see no problem suing a 14 year old for $350,000. Sure she'll have to pay to defend herself, but I say saddle the girl with a 350K debt. Send a message to all 14 year olds. Sort of a scorched earth policy. Now if only we could find a way to blame this on the Alberta Liberal Party.
The Alberta Legislature quietly passed Bill 49 in the spring session. This bill prohibits the right of home and business owners and insurance companies from suing Firefighters or municipal fire departments for any kind of negligence. Wrong address? Door chopped in? Sorry, pay for it yourself. This will save TONNES of cash for the Calgary taxpayer. We will no longer need to train our firefighters nor invest in information systems to make sure we destroy the right home.
A former student of the elite Strathcona-Tweedsmuir School is suing the school for $400,000 because they expelled her. Suddenly, after a school function, they came to realize she maybe wasn't their kind of people. And all it took was the hearsay evidence of a relative of Peter Lougheed who may have seen something in a washroom, involving groping or something. I tell you, this Tory elitism and moral staunchness is really something. The funny part of this story is that private schools in Alberta are heavily funded by the public. (Well, maybe not funny.) So when it settles, you may get an additional tax bill. Your contribution is deeply appreciated. Now get off our lawn.
The Bank of Montreal is suing former customers, employees, and anyone else they can find after discovering one of the largest mortgage frauds in Canadian history. Apparently they are also suing Calgary CPC Member of Parliament Devinder Shory. I didn`t know who he was. After reading some of his QP gems in Hansard I`d say he`s not the brightest bulb. But which of them are? I tell you this Tory elitism and moral staunchness is really something.
We conclude with the sad tale of Ihor Broda. The Edmonton Lawyer and former would be Alberta PC MLA, has finally been disbarred by the Law Society of Alberta for numerous citations of misconduct. I only mention it because we were discussing law suits, and well, it would be hard not to mention it.
