Ever wondered if your dog could land you in legal hot water? Or what happens when your neighbour's business becomes an unbearable nuisance? Legal expert Michael Mulligan returns to Legally Speaking with three captivating cases that reveal the fascinating intersection of everyday life and Canadian law.The spotlight first falls on Juliet, a miniature Australian shepherd whose elevator encounter led to a $4,800 claim after she allegedly bit a woman's hand. Mulligan unpacks the surprising legal doctrine that essentially gives dogs "one free bite" before owners face liability. The Civil Resolution Tribunal's dismissal of the case highlights the important distinction between a single incident and established patterns of behaviour in animal liability cases. Dog owners across British Columbia might breathe easier knowing that, without prior knowledge of aggressive tendencies, they're unlikely to face legal consequences for an otherwise well-behaved pet's first transgression.Things heat up with the case of a small-town gas station that found itself embroiled in a 20-day trial complete with acoustics and vapour experts. When the station relocated its underground tanks, neighbouring residents endured years of noise, fumes, and bright lights from fuel deliveries. Though the court acknowledged these disturbances constituted a legal nuisance, it rejected demands to shut down operations. Instead, the judge awarded $80,000 to the affected family, demonstrating how Canadian courts balance individual property rights against broader community needs. The Court of Appeal's affirmation of this approach reveals the remarkable discretion judges maintain when crafting remedies that serve competing interests.The final case delivers a cautionary tale featuring a BC Housing tenant known variously as "Lover-Peace" and "Emotions Universe," whose troublesome behaviour resulted in his designation as a "vexatious litigant." After breaching an agreement to vacate public housing in exchange for rental supplements, his attempt to appeal his eviction order led to a full-day hearing where his pattern of harassing behaviour toward legal professionals came to light. The $2,500 special costs penalty imposed sends a clear message about the consequences of abusing the legal system.Want to explore more fascinating intersections of law and everyday life? Join us next week for another edition of Legally Speaking, where Michael Mulligan continues to demystify Canadian jurisprudence one compelling case at a time.Follow this link for a transcript of the show and links to the cases discussed.

Is the BC NDP Solving the Housing Crisis? British Columbia's Minister of Housing, Ravi Kahlon, sits down with Aaron Pete to discuss the housing crisis, new legislation, Indigenous housing, US tariffs, and municipal challenges. Send us a textSupport the showwww.biggerthanmepodcast.com

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - One of the 2025 RIEP Virtual Forum presentations was a panel discussion of how the affordable housing societies were faring on eight rural islands. There were a lot of common themes running throughout their stories: difficulties obtaining funding through BC Housing, CMHC and other organizations whose requirements are drawn up for urban rather than rural areas; the cost of builing on remote islands; relationships with regional districts and Island Trust; and water issues. The moderator was Mike Hoebel from the Galiano Island Affordable Housing Society. Mike Hoebel: “The lack of affordable housing is truly a crisis in our communities and housing policy was a major item for discussion back at RIEP's 2023 In-Person Porum Gabriola. Today we're going to hear from a number of people about housing related initiatives underway in their communities.” “First we'll be hearing from Elizabeth FitzZaland from Salt Spring Solutions, then Adam, to talk about the Housing Now program, Bruin Black is going to share some information about the Cortes Housing Society's Initiatives. April Lewis from Hornby, Simon Palmer from Denman, Deb Goldman from Mayne, Avi Bryant here on Galiano and I'll share a bit of update about the Galiano Affordable Living Initiative Society's project on Galiano. Following the panel presentations we'll touch briefly on some advocacy issues to the province.”

Surrey Urban Mission is facing severe funding challenges, with BC Housing providing 97% of their funding, which hasn't increased since 2022.

MLA wants forensic audit of BC Housing

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Cortes Community Housing purchased a property with two houses at 671 Sutil Point Road. This will be the first property to go into the island's new land trust, formed in response to Cortes Island's housing forum last December.  
The housing society has been active on Cortes for 6 or 7 years and made a lot of progress in buying Rainbow Ridge. Having that acreage for housing and community needs is a really great opportunity and sets us apart in many ways from some of our other island neighbors like Quadra, for instance, where they're working to acquire land, explained Sadhu Johnston, Executive Director of Cortes Community Housing.  
 We've been struggling to get BC Housing funding to build on that land and  we recently heard we weren't successful. That's the 3rd time we had applied. We did get $100,000 from BC Housing to continue to get the project shovel ready. So they're not abandoning us, they're just not ready to fund it.  
 They're really prioritizing cities. I think 80% to 90% of the funding from the last round of BC Housing funding that was designated for the Vancouver Island region went to Victoria.  
 We cannot rely on provincial support to solve this problem here. We need it, but it's been years of trying to get it. We really are needing to diversify our approach, both on Rainbow Ridge land, but also across the community.  
 We are continuing to progress the 24 townhome development on Rainbow Ridge and we just received funding from the SRD to build the road into the development site. 
 We're looking at creative ways that we can still bring housing to the Rainbow Ridge land even if it's not subsidized housing, if it's more of a rental housing option. We are purchasing our first home, thanks to the generous donation of 1 of our Cortes neighbors.  That property is about 3 acres and it has 2 houses on it. It has a well, it has septic, it has power backup systems. It has beautiful gardens, and a big shop. 
I'm personally really excited by this opportunity because we get to provide rental housing immediately, but there's also the opportunity for other community uses with the shop and the agricultural land. It's a very centrally located. It's a walkable site. People can walk straight into Manson's, to the school, or to Smelt Bay and Manson's Lagoon. 
We have over 200 people on our wait list. So we're going to put a call out and then,  if we don't get interest from that, we'll go more broadly to the community  
 Having secure rental housing Is really important for people that often have to move over and over and over again.  
That's the basic objective. We get to provide housing for people that need it. We get to maintain community ownership in the land.  This land will be owned by all of us as a community and over time, we could even add additional cabins to the land to provide more housing.  That would be something that we'll be looking to do.  
The objective is also to ensure that as houses come up for sale,  they aren't just sold to off-Islanders for summer housing, that we maintain existing homes for community use and for housing people on the Island,  not just bringing new people to the Island or converting those family homes to summer houses for off Islanders.

Vancouver's SROs are home to some of the most vulnerable people in the province, and some of the most challenging housing to run. So when Atira Women's Resource Society stepped up to run several buildings, concerns that the CEO was in a relationship with the CEO of BC Housing, the provincial corporation in charge of that housing, were dismissed. In the years that followed, there was growing concern about the conditions of the SROs, and why Atira's portfolio kept growing.Recently an explosive report released by third party investigators Ernst and Young revealed the truth.
