    In my city you are required to have both liability and collision even if the car is worth a dollar. That is true across all of Canada to my knowledge, with the exception of Quebec.

    I’d be curious what city, but obviously you don’t have to answer that.

    That is true across all of Canada to my knowledge, with the exception of Quebec.

    Then you would be misinformed, because collision coverage is certainly not mandatory in Alberta, and I doubt it’s mandatory anywhere

      Absolutely false. You’re not required to have collision on your own vehicle anywhere as far as I know. Collision on the other vehicle falls under liability, unless of course you haven’t paid your vehicle off yet, but even then, that’s a requirement of the bank, not the insurer. I don’t know every provinces laws perfectly, but I do know cities don’t determine insurance law.

        So “gullible and foolish people” deserve to be abused by corporate interests? We aren’t supposed to build a world that benefits everyone, regardless of how “gullible and foolish” they are?

          Why stop there? Clean water is a convenience isn’t it? What about fire departments? That’s a convenience. People could do these things on their own. They should be rugged individualist and always take care of themselves right? Why do we need roads? People should just pave their own roads right?

            Corporations should be allowed to lie and abuse people who aren’t knowledgeable or practiced enough to avoid it, because they deserve it?THAT’S your take?

            You know, I knew I recognized that name from somewhere. You’re that one who was trolling around here pre-election spreading misinformation that I got into an argument about over your completely insane perspective on the Liberals destroying Canadian identity. I’m glad I get to share a message with you post election, so I can point, proudly, to the way Canada happily rallied together under a Liberal banner, sporting a national togetherness that we certainly haven’t seen since the selfish, Conservative nutjobs started doing their damnedest to sow division and tear us apart to their benefit before and through the Covid era. I’m not shocked that, in the brief 5 minutes I gave your account to figure out why I recall your name, I saw a majority of your posts filled with vitriol and hatred, while you continuously deny objective reality and dismiss everyone who disagrees with you as being intellectually stunted. Losing the election and watching Canadian’s rally together must really be shaking your world view, and since the only real responses are to adapt and grow, or lash out and blame the world, it really is no wonder you’re here, spreading hate.

            Your completely ethically bankrupt and sociopathic take on the topic at hand here doesn’t even deserve a response, but I’m giving you one for the satisfaction of myself and everyone who works to make this world a better place while people with your perspective justify abusive practices and beliefs: fuck you. You should be embarrassed just thinking it, let alone typing it out. Get off social media, stop treating the people you interact with like garbage - if your posts here are any indication of how you speak to people, you are a truly reprehensible piece of shit - get out of your hate-filled bubble, and at least try to experience the world from a perspective other than the one that bred this abhorrent, inexcusable take. Or, just fuck off.

              You could do the same with streaming services, gyms, and all manners of things.

              Yes I agree!

              A minimum income can do it better, with less waste on things people don’t prioritize. A poor person wants better quality food, not a gym membership.

                “Misinformation” doesn’t mean things that you don’t like to hear, people of your pathetic ilk have ruined the place.

                    450,000 thousand immigrants this year, 2 or three million the last 5. You’re gonna learn what being this fucking stupid means over the next decade, probably have already, but pride and propaganda and such makes it hard for people who don’t understand the sunk cost fallacy to change course.

                      I mean, I know conservatism is nothing but a series of projections, but this is just impressive. I really don’t think I could have said it better myself.

                        A person honest with themselves would notice that over the last 45 years, it’s been under Liberal leadership when the real disasters in governance occur. Worst thing the Conservatives ever did was the switch to the GST, meanwhile the Liberals have literally bankrupted generations.

                          It just makes me sad that you seem to believe the things you say.

                          C’mon man, we’ve been through this song and dance. You are perpetuating lies that have been fed to you by people who realized that it’s easier to stoke fear than build unity. Just because you believe it doesn’t mean it is anything but misinformation.

                          I know I tore into you earlier, but watching you continue to lick the boots of the people who are hurting you is just sad.
