go back to maingo to old version
The wording in the original CBC story, written when the law was passed:
What's the loophole exactly? Seems the only way the landlord is obliged to give one-year is if they need to make renovations. And the ambiguity was in the reporting, not the law.
That's one hell of a snow job. Makes me wonder what else we're missing about the laws our legislature passes.

Hey Pete - I have a quick question. What is Melissa's last name? I need it for the table arrangments.

Hey Tay, remember when you found those shady Indian mechanics to pass your vehicle inspection? Do you remember what they were called, because I have an old vehicle in need of passing an inspection.

So I know this really ahead of time but just so I can put it on the table...
What: A movie specifcally Stardust
When: Saturday evening, exact time to be determined
Where: South Edmonton Common
Why: Because my favourite writer Neil Gaiman wrote the script! Well actually the graphic novel this movie is based off of but close enough. Plus a large assamble(sp?) cast!
Well more detail as the day approaches.

Headline: Loopholes push tenants out of condo converts.
Loophole: "an ambiguity (especially one in the text of a law or contract) that makes it possible to evade a difficulty or obligation."
The law: "Landlords only have to give the one-year notice if they're doing major renovations and need the unit empty.":
"If he sells a unit and the new owner has requested vacant possession, he can now issue a three-month notice to terminate a periodic tenancy," said Monica Frank, a consultant at Edmonton's Landlord and Tenant Advisory Board.
"I think people expected they could get a one-year notice just because it was being sold as a condominium … but we are trying to clarify that so people have a better understanding of what the changes mean."
The wording in the original CBC story, written when the law was passed:
Those wanting to evict a tenant in order to make major renovations or convert an apartment to a condominium will have to give at least a year's notice and won't be allowed to increase the rent during that time.
What's the loophole exactly? Seems the only way the landlord is obliged to give one-year is if they need to make renovations. And the ambiguity was in the reporting, not the law.

I might need a ride back. We'll see. Can't believe it's just around the corner.

Yeah, I know Andy, AD, and I are sharing a tent, and I think Pam's camping with us as well (although, for some reason, she's not keen on sharing with us.)
On a similar subject, does everyone have rides down there? I wouldn't mind driving, and I've got a pretty good capacity in the van, in case someone needs a ride (so far, I only know for sure about one willing passenger and one passenger we're abducting, so I still have room to seat four more (five if seatbelt laws don't apply to kidnap victims.))
