That is pointless anyway because typically sewage backup or basin overflow claims are limited to 5000$. That isn't going to fix a lot of stuff.


which is how much TD wants me to raise my deductible to just for the pleasure of staying with them.... wtf is the point of insurance again

Almost all insurance companies provide full coverage for sewer backup coverage. TD is the one company that loves giving limited coverage for sewer backup which majority of people don't know about...

Hey, once again I'd just like to throw a shout out to Vagabond. I haven't had the time to post in this thread but thanks to his work I also have known which areas to avoid. Plus he's been the best twitter filter beyond could ask for.

No worries! Glad to be of service I'm just doing my small part to try to help out others

That said, I am wide open and free to help any Beyonder affected by the flood with clean up, moving stuff around, helping you carry in groceries if needed if your fridge/freezer was hit by the power outages, etc. Anything I can do to make anyone's life just a touch easier during this crisis, I will do, just PM me

There is a team setup within cps to investigate price gouging.... They should go shopping for water on kijiji.

Does price gouging only apply to people with business licences and not to private sales?

Just doing my part and signed up on the yyc help page.

Just came north on Deerfoot - NB is backed up from the CNR overpass just south of the Calf robe bridge to just south of Glenmore due to the right lane being closed for water on the roadway.

Glenmore in both directions is shutdown east of Deerfoot because of water on Glenmore.

Deerfoot southbound is shutdown at Glenmore due to water on the road at Southland and was backed up pretty much to 17th Ave - get on to Barlow if you need to get to the deep south. Otherwise avoid Deerfoot SB.

Blackfoot SB is also closed of at Deerfoot - not sure why, keep people out?

So if you're in the North and want to go to Chinook for example, how would one do that?
