In the subterranean root system where they all talk to each other you know they’re giving high fives to this buddy

I know we don’t care much for cars around here but a family is mourning his loss. Sounds like he was driving too fast but a life is a hell of a price to pay, maybe don’t joke about it.

Fair enough, dwgs. Sorry. But don’t blame Ian, I gave him the opening.

It’s always a good time for a very serious scolding. I know it’s been a while, might I suggest solving this problem with clowns?

There was a case over a decade ago where a rotten tree on the edge of Westmount fell onto a car on Cote des Neiges and killed the driver, and the family hired Julius Grey to sue the city and its insurer, Lloyd’s, said that it’s a motor vehicle accident so covered under no fault insurance. Case was appealed to the Supreme Court, but the city/insurer and the SAAQ won, even though Grey and the family said it shouldn’t count because a pedestrian killed in such a way could sue. Obviously there’s no one to sue if you crash into a tree, but it’s interesting how wide “motor vehicle crash” is legally.
