Destroy this retard. Only acceptable response is having your license taken away and the horse whipped

Stupid, criminal, and shocking. Driver ran her over a 2nd time ... like WTF?, are you that unobservant?

I had no idea Parliament Hill was being rebuilt/renovated - it's a 10 year project.

holy shit... this is exactly the type of person who should never be allowed to drive ever again. sickeningly stupid.

Person should have their license taken away permanently.

Second hit looks almost on purpose like trying to finish the job. Can that be criminal?

I was in Ottawa in 2021, couldn't visit Parliament so that sucked. It's supposed to take 10 years but I'm gonna bet it's still going to be going waay into the 2030s

And overbudget! :accepted:

It's like an old school Chinaman accident, if you injure the person they can sue you. Better off finishing the job.

Lol, that's what I was thinking. Inner Chinaman kicked in.

Isn't there some awful saying in Chinese? Something about it being better to pay the family once than to pay the cripple for life

well if you ever want to take someone out and have the least consequence, do it with a car. just claim they were in your blind spot and then the pedal got stuck. you see it all the time and people rarely serve serious time if any at all.

Hell you don’t even need a car. That dude who sawed off a guys head on the bus got nothing. Our criminal system is fucked.

Oh man, I wish I was a schizophrenic like that guy. You can just go around eating people without a care in the world.:woot2:

In real life, the guy did some time in a ward, and is now out and on meds. I wish we could skip the whole psychotic episode part and just keep these people on meds before people (including themselves) are hurt. Obviously people disagree with that.

i was thinking the same, but didn't wanna be the one that says it :troll: :ilied:

anyone here a book keeper or accountant that knows about tax deductions?

My understanding is you can claim 100% of the "supplementary business insurance" of your car insurance as an expense.

But ICBC doesn't break out for you how much the "supplementary" portion is.

Anyone know what to do here?

I'm sure it's an easy answer since every self employed person in BC with ICBC insurance deals with this.

I'd call ICBC or contact a broker. Your accountant will need the exact amount and proof for admission of records to the CRA (should they request it).

None of my clients get supplementary business insurance via ICBC.. nor do they tell ICBC they use their cars for business LOL

Yes, apparently I need to go to a broker and get them to price it out without business use and then just calculate the difference.

I dunno, I think if you ever get in a situation where ICBC is questioning whether you have business insurance or not following a collision, all they have to do is ask if you are writing off vehicle expenses for tax purposes. Because there's ultimately a gigantic paper trail that confirms vehicle use for business purposes, the risk of not having the proper insurance doesn't seem worth the reward to me.

Surprisingly I don't think that's all that bad for a room during Christmas in such a historic hotel, in a beautiful location.

It's been on my bucket list to stay here a few nights with the GF as well over the holidays, do some skiing in the area as well.

The rooms are dated for sure, windows are tiny, but I think it's worth the price as a one-time experience.

Neither of us are into skiing/snowboarding. It would really just be about spending the day there, maybe walk around downtown Banff and have a nice dinner before heading home for the holidays.

Having spoken to friends and colleagues over the year, they have paid way more for a room at the Chateau Lake Louise during the Christmas holidays.

Clearly I haven't been vacationing around Canada then if these are normal/below normal prices :lol

Elbows up :badpokerface:

Just checked with a colleague who stayed there last year and I will quote him verbatim. "Paid $950 before taxes and fees. Went on Dec. 20. one and done. never again."

You can interpret that however you want to. :D

Paid over $500/night with lake view in 2020 when COVID discounts were in effect (visit within your home province). Yes it was AB, close enuff!

Trust me $450 is a deal. How much is one with a view?

Ya they're right, I remember looking into a room there a few years ago and it was exactly around $1K per night during the holidays.

Our economy must really be in the shitter for them to drop the price by half.
