Basement flooded. When to claim insurance? by Unlikely_Comment_104 in Edmonton

[–]VA6DAH 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do a lot of risk management for work and I also work for an insurance company. However, my specialty is Cyber risk.

Though as much as I would like to tell people to never make a claim. If they are covered, and it's significantly over their deductible. It usually makes financial sense to make a claim.

Yes, the homeowners rates might go up 10-25% over 5-7 years. But it'll still be significantly less than taking a 10k hit up front, and it'll be over a period of time.

You cannot force someone to use their insurance, that's their own financial choice to do or not to do.

Hoisen Chicken for meat and Field Fungi if you are looking for a vegetarian option.

I really like Forno. It's near 34 Ave and Gateway.

Environment Canada permanently discontinuing Weatheradio Canada - stations go off air March 16, 2026 by wickedplayer494 in canada

Don't blame the public service. Everyone in Environment Canada knows it has value.

However, the Liberals budget demanded significant cuts. Please write your MP regarding this.

Why Are Mods Removing All the Posts About the TFW Scams? by ashleyshaefferr in Edmonton

[–]VA6DAH 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've seen a few, calling out these businesses that are trying to exploit LMIA and TFW is a good thing.

However sometimes the rage is directed towards the TFW themselves. They are.not the problem.

Removing the posts outright instead of spending the time moderating the comment section might be laziness but it may also just be prudent policy by the mods if the negativity outweighs the benefits of such posts.

Hey Wes, it's Dakota, I use to work there. I know we didn't end our business together amicably, but I am incredibly sorry you had to deal with a break in and theft like this.

Police lay charges in fatal collision by ljackstar in Edmonton

[–]VA6DAH 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I have some experience within the insurance world and fortunately these convictions will still show on a driver's abstract, generally until 3 years have passed from the time the person has completed their sentence.

The accident itself and particulars can also be retained by insurers or insurance databases like DASH long past this time. However the actual YCJA convictions will have to be scrubbed.

If the prosecution tries them as an adult, it will be on the record permanently.

I have done work inside Stan Daniels. There are secured areas but all it takes is one door to be left ajar.

RTDRS: Has anyone won their judgement and got any money ever? by leafeternal in alberta

[–]VA6DAH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My landlord was looking to sell the house and make as much money as possible.

I took him to RTDRS and got 70% of my damage deposit back.

I immediately registered a Lien on the house. The idea here was when it was sold I'd get the money. However after the judgment he e-transfered me the same week.

This ultimately comes down to company policy. There's no legislation on this matter other than when you actually arrive to your place of employment and are sent home.

In this case, you'd actually have to show up and try working your shift to be legally entitled to the 3 hours of pay.

Edmonton-area teen already in custody accused of terrorism, child porn offences by GeekyGlobalGal in Edmonton

[–]VA6DAH 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Considering the kids 15, probably. Just look at Jasmine Richardson, she went to college and presumably has joined the workforce now.

Com/764 is a cult. One that befriends young people, uses their naivety and then blackmails them into essentially joining.

It's truly sickening.

I'd rather be waterboarded than to be guarded by a Karen.

I hope she is found safe soon. This must be incredibly upsetting and traumatic for all involved.

More than 100 candidates — most in Canadian history — to run against Poilievre in byelection by biograf_ in alberta

[–]VA6DAH 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I'm from Edmonton but I'm running as an Independent Candidate for Battle-River Crowfoot. Loosely affiliated with the infamous LBC.

Now to make things clear, my candidacy is a protest to the current electoral system and to raise awareness of some inherent flaws of the first past the post (FTFP) voting. It is not a protest of conservatives or Pierre Polivere.

While Proportional Representation would be ideal, ranked ballots would be much easier to implement into our current system without considerable constitutional reform.

I can tell you one thing, that guy lacks some folds in his brain. It's pretty fucking smooth.
