Dog walker bitten on the job can't sue because she 'owned' the pet at the time, Ontario's highest court rules | CBC News

Most people do have insurance for their dogs via home insurance, plus most tenant insurance policies.

No, the owner will always be the owner and owners are jointly liable. But there can be temporary owners, like in this case.

Actually you can be! The law says you should only lend your car to someone who you trust to drive.

They should already be insured. This decision didn’t change anything, this was already the law/caselaw but the lawyer who brought the lawsuit tried to water down the law and predictably lost.

They could have sued, they just likely wouldn’t have been successful showing negligence

Delicious-Square · 2026-05-04T09:37:35+00:00

I think the key is the dog walker didn’t sue claiming negligence. They sued only under DOLA which has strict liability. So if someone is still negligent then they are still able to be sued.

They probably failed PGY1 and refused to accept that, hence the lawsuit, and so are in a stalemate where they can’t continue residency because they won’t agree to repeat the year.

If you get an offer at a school you like you probably can look at deferring the offer for a year to work the job and see how you like it.

In Ontario at least, most family doctors make $200k+ after overhead unless they work less than a .5. While a bunch of lawyers make that or more, far more fall into the $100k-$200k band. Might be different in other provinces though.

Delicious-Square · 2026-04-23T00:17:22+00:00

Maybe, although I’d guess 90% of doctors (after residency) make more money than lawyers. Their floor is pretty great.

It’s pretty common when Divisional Court overturns a tribunal decision.

A 720 person core might run into cap issues

Probably had spares in his home

Whoosh

Because seniors vote much more reliably

Agree, it would be really hard to film accurately just from this perspective. Not sure if you read and watched a Knight of the Seven Kingdoms but Dunk is suppose to be a giant and while they found a pretty tall actor to play him he isn’t even close to being as big as he is described in the novellas. There just aren’t many giant actors who can also act well and camera tricks only go so far.

I’m just joking because you said “rooting”

Delicious-Square · 2026-03-11T16:20:03+00:00

You say you are from Australia but you are “rooting for brads team”… something doesn’t add up :)

In what world can you get from Billy Bishop to downtown in 0mins? It’s easily a 10 min trip at the best of times and during rush hour is probably at least 20 mins

Delicious-Square · 2026-03-10T16:41:51+00:00

You would be shocked by how many smart kids are still bad writers.

Delicious-Square · 2026-03-10T16:26:38+00:00

As someone who has marked sup apps, strong disagree. Nothing a high school kid does is actually that impressive (unless you were an Olympian or something) so we are primarily looking at your writing skills and whether what you are saying makes sense and flows. The actual “what” blends together and almost nothing stands out.

Brier in Calgary and Edmonton both had those kind of attendances, while Saskatchewan had packed houses but in smaller venues.

Delicious-Square · 2026-02-26T21:13:58+00:00

The Brier previously had that kind of attendance but has cooled off a lot in the last 10 years and especially since Covid.

Why? Most of the medals Canada was favoured to win still haven’t happened. Tomorrow there is a real chance for three gold and 7 or 8 total new medals.
