That might have been true at some point in the past and the judiciary might even feel that way still. However the practical penalty for filling absurd lawsuits is zero unless you do it repeatedly to random people for a decade. Absolutely no

Gemini almost killed you. The exhaust blower not working triggered a safety that prevented the furnace from firing. Spinning it bypassed the safety. You likely inhaled a lot more carbon monoxide than you know.

Canadians generally think that buying and selling their information is illegal so it's not happening, which is why this is news. They're right that it's illegal but definitely wrong about it not happening. The damage to priva
