Flown to Vancouver with a broken neck, Schober, then 66, spent 7 months adapting to life as a #quadriplegic.

He became one of the 1st #SeriousInjury #victims subject to the #BCgovernment’s #NoFault #insurance, introduced May 1, 2021.

The “enhanced care model,” replaced #litigation based model & provides set amounts of #compensation by #injury type to victims, regardless of fault & without a referral. It eliminates most victims’ #RightToSue.

@msquebanh Gotta protect the insurance companies. :(

We have no fault in Ontario, as well.

@CStamp I hope he's successful with lawsuit. No fault insurance harms a lot of people who are disabled & facing increased costs of living - when they are the victims.

The federal government has added $36.4 million to a program designed to support people who have been seriously injured or killed by vaccines since the end of 2020.

The program was announced shortly after shots first became available to the public, and provides financial compensation to people who were adversely affected by approved vaccines.

#GovernmentOfCanada reached a $59M #settlement with a #FirstNation in #BritishColumbia for #compensation over allowing a right-of-way to be built through its reserve 110+ yrs ago.

Crown #IndigenousRelations Minister Gary Anandasangaree & #Matsqui First Nation Chief Alice McKay jointly announced the settlement, compensating for the federal government's taking of land in 1908 for #Vancouver Power Company right-of-way.

The deadline for claims for compensation under the First Nations Drinking Water Class Action Settlement is March 7.

So far 90 per cent of the expected claimants have been signed up and compensation monies have started to flow.

First Nations and their residents who were subject to a water advisory for at least one year between Nov. 20, 1995 and June 20, 2021 are eligible.

@mattotcha And a substantial amount spent on R&D is about tweaking formulas or delivery systems to keep a medication patented and reaping big profits. Insulin isn't expensive, epipens are because they're under patent (until 2025).

“All due respect to the men, but how come there’s no women on that committee?”

Implementation of the $23.3 billion child and family settlement will start to role out to class members in 2024.

At the Assembly of First Nations special chiefs assembly Dec. 5, chiefs raised concerns over process, including how the members of the Settlement Implementation Committee were chosen and resulted in all men appointed.
