Exactly this. The system right now allows for victims of MVAs to *maybe* find adequate compensation for injuries and losses. This new system will make that much, much harder, on top of much more expensive. Why? Who benefits?
I was in 4 car accidents in 4 years (none at fault) which I still haven't recovered from, so I know a thing or two about this. An insurer will never willingly pay the reasonable costs of the damage that can be done in an accident. #ableg #abpoli
UCP will announce future of auto insurance on Thurs. What I found out:
1) Your rates rise next year, possibly up to 7.5%
2) Rates could go down ~2027 by ~20%
3) After that, if you're injured in a crash, can't sue for damages. Insurer decides settlement www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

As happy as I am to see folks following/following back, like in the halcyon days of the Bird Place, this is a good time to post this.
Homophobes, transphobes, and racists will get called out and blocked.

I just found out that my municipality has been subsidizing certain snowbird households who wish to suspend utility services while they travel. This costs taxpayers 10k/yr since the utility then needs to be monitored for use. Unbelievable.

This is very, very scary.
From the DM’s…

In this letter, Health Monister Adriana Lagrange confirms that the privately operated, for profit urgent healthcare facility in Airdrie has been approved.

This will be the first emergency healthcare run by a private, for profit entity in Alberta History.

The left is centrist at best and fails to see the traps set before it, and that is why it continues to fail.

Take 3 minutes to watch this.

Hi! I'm new here.

Some of you may remember me from the bird site where I posted a lot of COVID-19 stats & other data back in the day.

As a data journalist, I figured I'd come in hot here with a chart.

This is data *about* journalists.

There aren't many of us left, especially here in Alberta. 🙃
