School Safety
Sun Media In light of Diamond and Diamondโ€™sย press conferenceย this week on the York University shooting, I thought we should discuss the basis for the lawsuit. The main question we seem to be getting is: โ€œwhy is this their fault?โ€. My response is simple. If the University failed to meet a standard of care for their…

Recall Havoc
With all the news on the GM recall we are getting panicked and frantic calls. So let me be clear and explain. Just because your car was subject to a recall and you were involved in an accident it doesn’t mean that you have a case against GM or any other car manufacturer. In order…

Front Line Support Workers
Sun Media The unsung heroes are often the most overlooked. We were reminded of this during the tragedy of 9/11.

Distracted Driving Law
Sun Media The new law put into effect basically doubles the distracted driving fine. I hate to be “that person” but I am very happy.
