Privacy rights take center stage as the BC Court of Appeal delivers a powerful message to organizations handling sensitive information. When an ICBC employee sold policyholder data to criminal organizations, resulting in targeted arson and shooting attacks against numerous victims, the insurance giant fought tooth and nail to minimize compensation. The Court ultimately upheld a $15,000 award for each affected individual, establishing a crucial precedent that privacy violations cause significant harm even without visible damage.The ruling recognizes that having your personal details sold to criminals creates genuine suffering, even when physical attacks don't materialize. This landmark decision enforces the principle that employers bear responsibility for their employees' actions when handling sensitive data. For anyone concerned about their digital privacy, this case represents a significant step toward protecting personal information in an increasingly connected world.Meanwhile, the courts navigate the complex territory where art meets evidence. A murder trial in Surrey broke new ground by allowing expert testimony on drill rap—a subgenre where violent lyrics are often performative rather than autobiographical. The defence successfully argued that without understanding this cultural context, jurors might mistakenly interpret rap about violence as literal confessions. This raises fascinating questions about how we evaluate artistic expression in criminal proceedings and acknowledges potential racial biases in interpreting such content.In Victoria, justice persisted despite a defendant's violent refusal to participate in his own trial. Charged with beating someone with their own wheelchair during a robbery, the accused fought with sheriffs and refused to enter the courtroom. The judge's ruling that this behaviour constituted "absconding" demonstrates how our legal system adapts to maintain functionality even when faced with extreme disruption.These cases highlight how Canadian courts are evolving to address modern challenges while upholding fundamental principles of justice. Have you ever wondered how much your privacy is actually worth in the eyes of the law? This week's developments provide some compelling answers.Follow this link for a transcript of the show and links to the cases discussed. 

In Victoria, Lieutenant Governor Wendy Cocchia delivers the speech from the throne to open the first session of the 43rd Parliament of British Columbia."We open this first session of British Columbia's 43rd Parliament at the most consequential time for our province since the Second World War," said B.C.'s new lieutenant-governor, Wendy Cocchia, reading the speech. "In the face of an unprecedented and unjustified threat to our economy, British Columbians are joining with all Canadians to fight back.”Is the “Made in BC “ program really going to be enough to protect residents from higher prices caused by the tariff that Trump is proposing? Should Eby and his team do more?

Generaties lang hebben de Aboriginal- en Torres Strait Islander-volken gepleit voor een formeel verdrag om hun soevereiniteit te erkennen. In Victoria zijn nu de formele onderhandelingen begonnen om voor het eerst een verdrag tussen een staat en de Indigenous bevolking van Australië te realiseren. In andere landen zoals Canada, Nieuw-Zeeland en de Verenigde Staten zijn ze eeuwen geleden al begonnen met het ondertekenen van verdragen. Waarom heeft Australië er zo lang over gedaan?

Get in touch to share sheeping stories or questions anytime!Whether you are a novice or a pro with tagging sheep you always are thinking about a better way to do it. How can I make the tags easier to read? How can I reduce stress and pain on my animal? The basicsFor sheep the only tag necessary is an NLIS tag. This is usually the smaller tag and contains your pic number, animal farm identification number (which you choose) and details of any accreditations your farm has - for example V for OJV vaccinated. Most farmers will also add a larger (often triangle shaped) tag. This tag would have the stud or farm name and the animal number in larger font. In Victoria from January 2017 all sheep born will need to have an electronic tag - more on this to follow. To tag your sheep you also need a tag applicator and for your farm tags a tag pen (unless you get the tags etched). The NLIS tag never changes and stays with the sheep for its life - even if that animal moves farms. Alan suggests choosing an ear to insert your tags and stick with that ear. Some farms would tags the females in the right ear and males in the left.  You can remove farm tags and replace them if you like - these can be cut off.Purchasing your tags This is a personal preference and the NLIS website gives a list of companies than supply tags for sheep in Australia.Support the showWant more!

David grew up in Saskatchewan, the second oldest in a family of six boys.  Since 2000 he has lived in beautiful Saanichton British Columbia, raising two great kids with his lovely wife. He went to the Victoria area to combine his engineering experience and love of music production to work for TC-Helicon, a company that makes products for performing musicians. He worked there for 19 years, five of which were in the role of Chief Operating Officer. Early 2020 he became aware of the fact that sea level rise rates were not accelerating.  In Victoria, the rate of rise has not changed over the entire record since 1909 and is only 0.75mm/yr.   This began his research in other climate alarmist claims.  Reality is so counter to the narrative and the consequences of acting on the narrative are so detrimental that he felt he needed to do something about it. In 2021 he ran in the federal election against the Green Party incumbent, Elizabeth May, and had the opportunity to debate her on the issue of climate five times.

City Limits' monthly housing update with Shane McGrath from Housing for the Aged Action Group (HAAG) and Jack Verdins from Friends of Public Housing Victoria.In the top half of the show, Keving mentions the event at Coburg Town Hall on Saturday 23 November: Voices from the Frontline of the Climate Crisis – an urgent call from the NTShane McGrath comes on the show to discuss retirement villages. HAAG featured recently on a 7.30 Report's investigation on Retirement Villages' prioritise profit over their residents. Also discussed were the upcoming rental reforms and their shortcomings as well as the long waiting lists for aged care packages. You can give HAAG a call on 1300 765 178 if you're looking for help accessing aged care services. Upcoming HAAG AGM: 28th Nov 11am-1pm Ross House. RSVP online or call 96547389. Updates provided by Jack Verdins: CLASS ACTION UPDATE FROM INNER MELBOURNE COMMUNITY LEGALPublic housing class action against the Victorian Government The Victorian Government made the decision to ‘retire and redevelop' all public housing towers across Melbourne by 2051 on 18 September 2023.  Inner Melbourne Community Legal ("IMCL") filed a class action on behalf of public housing residents in North Melbourne and Flemington against Homes Victoria over the decision. What happened in the class action trial?IMCL argued in the Supreme Court of Victoria that Homes Victoria's decision to demolish the public housing towers in Flemington and North Melbourne was made without regard to the policies and procedures it is required to follow.  It was also argued and that Homes Victoria did not properly consider the residents' human rights before it made the decision and compatible with the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006 (Vic). Homes Victoria said its proposal for the redevelopment of 44 public housing towers across Melbourne was based on the understanding that the towers could not be refurbished. They said the decision was based on documents that cannot be shared with the Court because they are Cabinet documents and therefore cannot be released.  The Judge has paused the trial to decide whether the documents should be produced in Court and considered as evidence in the matter. The class action documents can be found on the Supreme Court of Victoria's website. What happens next and what do you need to do?IMCL will return to Court before the end of the year to argue the documents the decision was based on should be included as evidence in the trial. Once this issue is decided, the trial can resume. This means the timeline for the trial has been extended and we will not have a final decision until next year.Residents do not need to leave their home for now.The Judge has ordered Homes Victoria to not send residents eviction notices to make them leave their homes because the trial is still underway. Public housing residents can contact IMCL for free legal advice on (03) 9328 1885 or by email at info@imcl.org.au.Services overwhelmed as 3 million at risk of becoming unhoused, says Homelessness Australia report - Monday 18 NovemberA new Homelessness Australia report has found more than a 60 per cent increase in risk of homelessness since 2016. The Impact Economics modelling estimates that between 2016 and 2022, the number of Australians at risk of homelessness increased by 63 per cent, representing between 2.7 and 3.2 million people.due to increasing rental stress and low incomesservice providers say they are having to shut their doors to new clients due to poor resourcing.Homelessness Australia has commissioned modelling of the number of Australians struggling with complicating factors such as low income, rental stress or low social resources, and says people with two or more of those factors are 'at risk' of becoming homeless. "People who could have afforded private rentals just a few years ago are now resorting to couch surfing, sleeping in cars or pitching a tent."Victoria and Queensland the fastest growersA state-by-state breakdown found Victoria and Queensland had seen the greatest growth in people at risk of homelessness, due to rental stress.In Victoria, 987,405 people were at risk of losing their home, the report found, after the state saw a 23.1 per cent increase in rental stress.The ACT was the only state to see a decrease in homelessness risk.Homelessness Australia acknowledged the Albanese government's increase investment in social housing, but said those homes would take some time to be built and there was still a shortfall of 640,000 social homes.

The Canadian real estate market is navigating an intriguing landscape shaped by fluctuating interest rates, economic policies, and global influences. With discussions around inflation, precious metals like gold and silver remain in the spotlight as potential hedges against economic uncertainty. Meanwhile, the effects of previous events, such as the Trump presidency, continue to spark debates on global markets and their influence on the Canadian economy. In Victoria's real estate market (#YYJRE, #YYJRealEstate), buyers and sellers are adapting to these changes, seeking opportunities despite economic shifts. Whether you're investing in property or exploring financial strategies, staying informed about key market trends is crucial for success in Canada's evolving real estate sector. #YYJ #Victoria #Money

How long could we reasonably expect governments to take, to sort out a problem like the rental shortage? I ask the question because we have had the problem of a shortage of options for tenants in Australia – and the consequent steep rises in rents - for a very long time. And it keeps getting worse, not better. The latest data from SQM Research shows that, nationally, the vacancy rate got a little worse last month, dropping from 1.3% in August to 1.2% in September.  Three of our capital cities have vacancies well below 1%. And in six of the eight capital cities, vacancies stayed the same or got smaller in September. In only two cities was there a slight improvement.  But the key piece of information is the longevity of this rental shortage crisis.  Australia has had vacancies below 1.5% for close to three years now. It's generally considered that a balanced rental market – one in which there is ample supply of homes for tenants to choose from and rents are stable – is one where vacancies are at least 3%. The data from SQM Research shows that Australia has not had a vacancy rate as high as 3% at any time in the past 20 years. The closest we came was 2.9% in April 2020 after the onset of Covid caused major disruption to property markets.  Since then, the national vacancy rate has dropped sharply, reaching 1.2% in March 2022 – and it has hovered between 1% and 1.3% for the past two and a half years. According to SQM Research, a further 1,700 rental properties disappeared from Australia's rental market in September – at a time when the nation's population has surpassed 27 million. The SQM report said: “The total number of rental vacancies now stands at 37,932 residential properties, a decrease from 39,665 in August.”  There are clear reasons why we have had this steady decline in the number of properties available for rental, a shortage which has caused rents to rise and rise. Mostly, those reasons relate to the decisions of politicians, particularly state politicians, in making life increasingly onerous for the investors who provide over 90% of the homes that people rent in Australia. State and territory governments have increased taxes on investors and have changed the rental laws in ways that have eroded the rights of the owners. This has led to a reduction in the number of homes available for rental. In Victoria, the state with the most onerous conditions for investors including big tax increases, the number of rental properties in the state has fallen by 22,000 so far this year, as the investor exodus gathered momentum on the back of anti-landlord legislation. That's according to new data from the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing. And its data supports a trend identified in the latest Investor Sentiment Survey published by PIPA – the Property Investment Professionals of Australia (PIPA). The survey described a "sell-off of investment properties around the nation" that has "continuing unabated" and "fuelling fears of an even tighter rental market". But the problem is most acute in Victoria. PIPA Victoria board director Cate Bakos says legislative changes and increased taxes are driving investors from the state. A new land tax regime, minimum rental property standards legislation, and policies that are seen as overly tenant-friendly have caused many investors to sell up in Victoria. Nicola McDougall, the Chair of PIPA says: “This is predominantly due to its plethora of anti-investor rental reforms, as well its new land tax regime that is set to cost investors billions of dollars over the years ahead.” PIPA's annual investor sentiment survey found Victoria was regarded as the “least accommodating” state or territory for property investors in the nation, with 22% of survey respondents indicating they had sold at least one dwelling in Melbourne in the last year. As a consequence, rental availability has fallen and rents have risen. Data from Domain shows that the vast majority of Melbourne suburbs recorded rent rises this year, continuing a trend that has extended over several years. According to the Domain rent report for the September quarter, the median house rent in Melbourne at the start of 2022 was $440 a week. Now it's $580 a week. The median unit rent was $375 a week in January 2022 and now it's $550 a week. That's an increase of almost 50% in less than three years. But the problems keep getting worse, with NSW being the latest state government to pass new laws detrimental to landlords. REINSW CEO Tim McKibbin says the lessons for the NSW Government are crystal clear but have been disregarded. He says: “The removal of landlords' rights under the guise of populist rental reforms has had a clear negative impact on renters elsewhere. “The rental reforms by the NSW Government will result in more investors selling up or opting for a short-term accommodation strategy, both of which remove more properties from the private rental market. “This is already happening and it's happening at a time when the NSW population is increasing by over 15,000 people each month. The rental market is in crisis and we need solutions, not reforms that we know from recent experience will make the problem worse.” And that pretty much sums up the seriousness and absurdity of this ongoing issue. Australia has had a rental shortage crisis for several years but the only policies implemented by state governments have made a bad situation even worse.  

Common Issues to Obtaining Home Insurance. In Victoria we have standard conditions that we address as a part of our forms.

Pills, powders and liquids that might be harbouring deadly substances will be able to be legally tested across Victoria, following a major policy change announced by Premier Jacinta Allan this week. Pill testing will become permanent after an 18-month trial starting this summer, with a mobile service to attend up to 10 music festivals. In Victoria, paramedics responded to more drug overdoses at festivals in the first three months of 2024 than during all of 2023.  The announcement is a change from Labor's previous stance against pill testing, and comes alongside the party choosing to not support a second safe drug injecting room in Melbourne's CBD despite experts' advice saying it would help reduce fatal heroin overdoses in the state. In this episode of The Briefing, Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan joins to explain the reasoning behind the change of heart in the Victorian government, and Animal Justice Party MP Georgie Purcell gives her take on the proposed rollout.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Euthanasia Rebutted: No "right to life" In Australia by Daisy SnowEuthanasia--the act of assisted suicide--was once outlawed in every country in the world because it destroys civilizations. The problem is that representative democracy in Western countries allows politicians to acquire an authority that goes beyond the power of the people. A questionable agenda can therefore be endorsed in parliamentary legislation. Euthanasia is one of them.The opinions of professionals, doctors of medicine and academics can sway the government because they have a power assumed to be in the bes interest of the people. When a politician with the gift of the gab obtains leadership in a democratic representative country, he or she can act like a dictator. The media is so powerful that it can endorse a personal agenda as though the people approved of some minority or controversial argument. The worms in proposed legislation can therefore be covered up in parliament and in the media.In 1996-97 the Federal Parliament of Australia provided evidence from euthanasia countries in Europe that regulations and procedures endorsed as safeguards in Euthanasia Laws do not work. The states ignored that evidence as though it did not exist. Opposing arguments were also ignored as unprofessional. The people were not consulted. The euthanasia premier of Victoria used compassion and emotion as a political tool to endorse the World Euthanasia Movement's Agenda in Parliament itself. Other states in Australia are copying Victoria's Euthanasia end-of-life death Laws.In Victoria murder under certain conditions is not a crime anymore. Those with a terminal illness are not the only ones who can be murdered under Euthanasia Laws. The targeted are killed in cold blood contrary to their 'No, No, No, No' screams. Thousands of innocent medical clients are euthanized in European countries every year without their knowledge or consent. This book investigates the implementation of twenty-first century Euthanasia Laws advocated by the World Euthanasia Movement that penetrates European and Western democratic parliaments.That is why the author investigated Euthanasia and wrote an informative book about it in 2018. This book acknowledges the updates. In late 2020 as happened through providence itself, the author Meret-Field Sally-Brown, penname Daisy Snow, witnessed how Euthanasia Laws are implemented in Victoria to murder the targeted in cold blood regardless of their objections. Although the author was not murdered under the state's Euthanasia Laws like other innocent and disenchanted people, she remains vulnerable. This is because of the non-factual criminal claims documented against her in the Mental Health Systems of both South Australia and Victoria. Criminal claims are commonly documented in mental health files in Australia against the poor, the vulnerable and the targeted because they cannot be documented in police files as such because they are not true. https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/euthanasia-rebutted-daisy-snow/1144608047https://daisysnow9-11books.com/http://www.urlinkpublishing.com   http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/42524dsurl.mp3

We are joined by the renowned interior designer Victoria Hagan, whose illustrious career spans over 25 years since she founded her eponymous firm. Throughout her journey, Victoria has garnered acclaim for her exceptional fusion of architecture and interior design, epitomizing modern American luxury like no other. Her talents have not gone unnoticed, as she has been honored with prestigious awards, including the Architectural Digest AD 100. Furthermore, her exceptional contributions have led her to be inducted into the Interior Design Hall of Fame. We discuss Victoria's latest book, "Live Now," published by Rizzoli, how she developed her innate ability to harmonize opposites, and how we can start living in our dream homes today using what we currently have. What You'll Hear On This Episode:  Victoria's journey into the design field and how she developed her signature style. Designing to all the senses and realizing that there are no black-and-white rules. In Victoria's new book, Live Now, she demystifies the idea that embracing our dream style and home has to be overwhelming or mysterious. How do you know if your dimensions aren't right? Must haves for great entertaining space. Tips for making the dining room a more inviting and comfortable space. Inspiration and guidance for using pops of color like red and fuschia. What is Victoria's approach to editing? Some of the featured projects in Live Now include one in Greenwich, Connecticut, and how it gives examples of using light and adding softness and texture. Mentioned in This Episode: Victoria Hagan Live Now Decorating Dilemma:  First off Christina, fantastic job with your living room. Victoria thinks it looks beautiful, and she particularly admires the use of rich colors. However, she does have a couple of suggestions to enhance the room further.  Her first thought is about the built-ins. While they can be stunning, Victoria points out that they tend to be quite expensive. If you want to save on costs, think about hanging the TV on the wall instead of incorporating built-in cabinetry. To ensure comfortable TV viewing, she advises lowering the TV slightly so that it aligns with the recommended height, typically between 36 and 38 inches from the bottom of the screen to the floor. Regarding the design of the bookcase, Victoria appreciates its beauty but suggests a few adjustments. She mentions that the TV should be placed within the millwork to maintain a comfortable viewing angle. The cabinetry below the bookcase should be carefully positioned not to raise the line too high, especially considering the presence of lower windows in the room. Maintaining the right proportions will create a sense of verticality and make the ceiling feel taller. Victoria also mentions the possibility of adding an interesting finish or color at the back of the bookcases. This can add an extra layer of depth and character to the room's design. When it comes to the depth of the bookcase, Victoria advises against assuming it needs to be excessively deep. Instead, she suggests measuring the books that will go on the shelves and designing the depth accordingly to avoid wasting space. Finally, Victoria recommends limiting the number of finishes in the room and taking cues from the wall colors to maintain a cohesive and visually appealing overall look. With a few adjustments, the room will undoubtedly become an even more inviting and stylish environment.

So the next part of this is your responsibilities and what are they? So please make sure you're checking what we call gaming legislation, whatever that translates for you to make sure that you're complying. Okay? From what I understand in the USA, it's different in every state permit. So just make sure that you're complying because it's a competition. In Victoria, if it's a competition, you need a permit. It's a dollar or two for this permit. It's ridiculous. I don't even know why they bother. But if you don't get the permit, then you can be fined $25,000. Okay? Because the way we've worded this, this is not a game of chance. Because you are selecting we're not picking it out of a hat. It doesn't fall under the gaming legislation for our state in Victoria. But you need to check your legislation in your town, make sure you're complying with whatever needs to be complied with. Okay? Just find out about competitions, how they run and whether it's different, whether it's a game of chance or whether it's because for all of the people that are nominating that they would love to receive one, their chance to receive one that could be construed as part of that. Welcome to Steve Saporito Education pod cast channel to learn more about what I do head over to my website www.stevesaporitoeducation.com Support the showwww.stevesaportioeducation.com

After a full year of preparation and months of travel, Alaska was almost finished. For us, at least. In Victoria, we left summer comforts behind for a solo North Country expedition. Due to our age and the physical demands of the journey, we knew this would be our first and last road trip to this latitude. If you're following our story you know this journey is not a piece o'cake. Nevertheless, the pullouts are full of Olive Garden patrons – some on motorcycles, some with walkers – and they're not coming all this way for The Bingo Trail. Neither old age or the Alaska highway is for sissies. But, all things considered, viewing glaciers from inside a warm and cozy RV helps you to forget about Volkswagen sized pot-holes, wet weather and limp imported lettuce. It truly is The Great American road trip. The post Airstreaming to Alaska – Chapter 16: Whittier to Talkeetna appeared first on Living In Beauty.

Episode 257: In Victoria, B.C., on the rainy evening of Friday, September 29, 1899, on her way home from work alone, forty-four-year-old Agnes Bings walked across a railroad bridge, cutting through the Songhees Reserve as she did every other night without incident. This night, however, would be her last. Someone took her life somewhere during the 20-minute walk between her bakery on Store Street and the Bings family home on Russell Street. The next morning, Agnes Bing's body was discovered. She'd been strangled, and her body mutilated. Her slaying has never been solved, although there have been a few suspects, interestingly including the world's most famous serial killer, Jack the Ripper, whose 1888 crimes also remain unsolved.
