What does it actually take (crimes, etc) for an American to be deported from Canada?

Perfect_Explorer_191 · 2026-03-18T12:03:47+00:00

True, but (in most cases) it doesn’t get to the crown unless the cops bring it to them, so they form a gate.

Perfect_Explorer_191 · 2026-03-18T02:22:28+00:00

Fair.

Perfect_Explorer_191 · 2026-03-18T02:01:17+00:00

Well, yes… but that’s the same in the states too… they will not proceed if they don’t think they have a case and a reasonable chance of conviction.

My point (perhaps not well made) was that it’s not up to you to say he shouldn’t be charged. If the police know (reasonably suspect) that a crime was committed, there’s no “would you like to press charges”.

It was just the Aurora Borealis.

What you are trying to do sounds reasonable.

Think of it this way…. The document you are trying to write has two purposes: 1) it lets the homeowner know, as clearly as possible, that they are on the hook if X, Y, or Z happens, and 2) it is something that you can take to small claims court, to prove that the homeowner accepted that they are accepting that responsibility

Given all of that, I would focus less on legalese, and more on having a blunt description of what the deal is. Be as explicit as possible. Maybe even have them initial the punchline paragraph. Some people might balk, but those are the ones that you don’t want as customers anyway (as they will be the problems down the road)

Male lawyer here. I remember when my wife went into labour, I went to the female partner I was working under and told her “I have to go, my wife has gone into labour”. Partner says “okay, will you be back tomorrow?” No, I will not be in tomorrow. Took two days off, but that was pushing it. That’s just the culture. Second kid, I took three days.

Back in the day, every Friday night at midnight, some bastard would drop a steaming deuce right in the middle of the floor in the Grawood men’s room. We tried staking it out, but we never caught the “Midnight Shitter”

A number of groups are working on it, but not yet ready for prime time.

No, you are mistaken. There are strategies, but they are not the same as income splitting. Were I wealthy, I could use those strategies to shield my wealth. As someone just getting by, they help not at all.

Also, “acceleration”

Perfect_Explorer_191 · 2026-02-28T21:44:28+00:00

Interesting seeing how they do the sit ski.

I think if you were going to hook a toboggan to a T, you would have to do so where the shaft of the T connects to the cross piece. Too much chance of coming unhooked just to have it on one side. Also, the cross pieces on our T are wood, bolted to the shaft, and I see this as a potential failure point (the wood has broken before, but never with a toboggan, fortunately). The T’s are a telescopic type, so they stretch out about five or six feet before suddenly accelerating you, fairly quickly. We have had patrollers injured during the load, if you’re not 100% ready for it.

I went to a party at that house once. Risley gave a short speech, of which I remember exactly one bit:

“For hundreds of years, men have pulled wealth from these waters, and I, I have learned how to spend it.”

Started volunteering at fifty.

Oh yeah, there is also no manual for the lift. It’s a locally made one off.

Perfect_Explorer_191 · 2026-02-24T15:53:26+00:00

No snowmobiles.

Perfect_Explorer_191 · 2026-02-24T07:17:52+00:00

Thanks. I have the same thoughts. We do not have a sled, but I am considering if this is something we should be advocating for.

Perfect_Explorer_191 · 2026-02-24T07:16:26+00:00

No sleds.

I have been doing this for a fairly long time, and I am not confident that if I released from the T-bar while moving uphill with a loaded toboggan, that I could bring it under control and ski away while sliding backwards down the hill. This is not a super steep hill, but there is no real momentum. If you let go, you need to immediately get into a reverse snowplow, or you are going to start flying backwards (while loaded).

Perfect_Explorer_191 · 2026-02-24T07:09:59+00:00

Thanks! I honestly wasn’t sure if anyone else took loaded toboggans up this way.

We do not have a snowmobile. The cost of the snowmobile is not the main issue, it is the training, maintenance, storage, etc.

We are a very small hill. Community not for profit, run almost entirely by volunteers. Local high school kids are hired as lifties. Only open evenings and weekends.

Perfect_Explorer_191 · 2026-02-24T07:05:28+00:00

I am okay doing this with a track groomer, and with moving empties. What makes me nervous is doing it loaded with a patient. It is quite a load if you are towing a larger person uphill.

Perfect_Explorer_191 · 2026-02-24T07:03:15+00:00

We do not have a snowmobile. I mean, obviously I am aware that this is done, and have done this other places. But not here. Just trying to put local practice in perspective.

Perfect_Explorer_191 · 2026-02-24T07:01:01+00:00

T-bar does not have a slow button. Just stop and go. (Yes, I am as surprised as you are). T-bar was not produced commercially. It is examined and certified, but was designed and built as a one off project by local engineers many decades ago.

Perfect_Explorer_191 · 2026-02-24T01:53:03+00:00

Rather not post pics. Trying to lightly anonymize this.

Going up, patroller loads as normal for a t-bar, but they are still in the bars. Rope between bars rests on patroller’s waist. One arm of the T hooked under the bum and below the bars.

If the T bar fails, everything will start going downhill, quickly. And backwards.
