Litigation – Spencer Pratt – Sabotage Alberta
Why Do Americans Sue So Much?
The United States is known for its unique litigious nature, with lawyers being financially incentivized to resist reforms to the legal system. While the country is not the most litigious, it is already the most litigious society in the world, spending about 2.2% of gross domestic product, or roughly $310 billion a year, on torts. Americans sue more frequently than citizens do elsewhere, as evidenced by its per capita litigation rates.
A new book by law school faculty member David Engel debunks the commonly held belief that injured Americans have their attorney on speed-dial. The book argues that the US is not a hyper-litigious society, but rather a country with low regulations relative to other first world countries. This litigious trend began after financial strain caused by health issues and bad luck with small businesses.

He has since made anger over the disaster response central to his campaign, repeatedly accusing city leaders of “negligence.”

Alberta is planning to appeal a court decision to scrap the pro-separation citizen initiative. What does this mean for a pro-separation question on the fall referendum?
Mark Carney warns Alberta’s separation vote could trigger a Brexit-style crisis that Canada may struggle to undo for years: ‘Very dangerous bluff’
Ottawa finally wakes up to separatist dream of easy exit from Canada
Separatist leaders often make Alberta independence sound as easy as shutting the door when you head off to work.
They acknowledge no legal problems, no little complications from a thing called Canada. Just vote Yes to separation. Over and out.
