Like the vegan fire fighter who was flown in to help fight forest fires a few years back. It blew up in his face.....
You're only vegan till you run out of vegetables. Same for kosher and halal.

I don’t know how much they should make.
All that liability comes down to personal responsibility, accidents anywhere are a part of life. Ever hear of a kids hockey coach suing for losing teeth or sustaining nasty fall injury?
How did missions and church groups do it in the past?
I guess it saddens me that charities have taken a hard turn into becoming businesses, with altruism at leadership levels replaced by high paid executives. Is 25% of their income distributed in salaries to 3 or 4 well paid ‘executives’ acceptable? I don’t know.
Case in point , my ex bosses mom was a Burlington hospital volunteer, she tells son the volunteer group has a piece of equipment they want to buy for the facility, it’s 100k . Her muffin sale would take 30yrs . He sets up a golf tourney , overnite in muskoka , bus ride up , girls and booze , cigars and steak , charges 3,500. Per head , limits it to 30 guests . Has people angry they can’t get in on it . Makes 100k in a weekend .
This is why CEOs get lots of compensation when they can deliver .

A perfect description of someone who "can touch the money".
My Muslim brother in law told his relative he had found a source of Halal bacon. When the light bulbs came on it was months before they would talk to him again.

Dad was one of those guys with a benevolent heart. He had privilidges at a few courses and the best Greek steakhouses in the east end which he used a couple of times a year.
Making phone calls to raise a few stacks over a poker or golf game are things of the past.

It’s a burden.
No, you hire a catering company to serve cocktails and beer, you can specify a ‘certain look’ in servers and when your tipping well, it all works out.
It helps mitigate responsibility when the servers are third party and have a smart serve .
With corporate ties you can flex liquor laws and social moors a bit , but illegal is off the table.

The bus was a good idea.
A major supplier to the construction industry had a private trout pond and invited client / guests up for a day of fishing with copious amounts of food and booze. Then the clients drove home.
One client never made it home, his wife investigated and found a disproportionate number of alcohol related collisions coinciding with the parties. She sued their butts off.
I would say you are very lucky, because it hit Hamilton and Brantford about 8 years ago.
I've seen a guy on my security footage trying to enter my neighbour's house, then mine, before seeing the camera and running off. That was about 3-4 years ago. The cameras don't work anymore, but this past summer I woke up hearing my digital door lock beeping. They had been trying to guess the entry code, and as I was waking up, confused by the sound, the lock's alarm went off for too many incorrect entries. By the time I could slip a pair of short on (I sleep in my birthday suit) the guy was gone, but then a motion light went of in my neighbour's yard on the other side of my house, and I saw a blur run down the driveway. By the time I got to the front of the house he was gone again.
I spoke to a bunch of my neighbours to warn them to keep their door and windows locked, and one of them said they'd also heard their digital door lock beeping at night, and saw a guy in a black hoodie leaving.
Welcome to Trudeau's Canada. "Soft on crime" as the Conservatives put it, and creating more homeless by the day. I can't really blame people for doing what they can to survive, but that doesn't mean I will allows it. Trudeau is doing what he can to escalate the destruction of our country so if you like what's happening, be should to vote him in a third time. There's much more he can do for Klaus Schwab.
Going to a shelter or food bank is demeaning. I'd rather be a thief. Sarcasm font.
Sadly much of the thievery seems to be addiction support. It's easier to steal food if you want food than steal jewelry to sell for almost nothing to buy food. At first glance, providing addicts with their needs (drugs or booze) may be cheaper for society than having them steal to raise the money to support the need. The amount we spend on this though is staggering (and those living near the authorized consumption locations have a ridiculous change in their neighbourhood). Like welfare, I have no problem supporting people going through a rough patch, but when your rough patch extends for decades with so sign of ever improving, it is hard for society to bear the expenses for so many in perpetuity. No easy solutions. The callous solution is something along the lines of give you a big sharpie X on your hand when you get naloxone. If you need naloxone again before the X wears off, too bad for you. Cops and paramedics know the frequent flyers. Is anyone well served by weekly naloxone and trips to hospital only to repeat again and again? Naloxone is great for people that make a mistake but I don't think we are using it in an effective manner right now in Ontario.
Forgot to chime in earlier.
Not sure if this makes you feel any better about our cities but here in Milton desperate people are raising the bar.
My buddy who runs a body shop just had someone steal fuel out of his cars at night. Guy pulled up in a rented U-Haul van and drilled a hole in 2 gas tanks of parked cars to in the parking lot. Watched the whole thing on video, took about 20 min.
The F150 only had about $30 of gas in it. Not sure about the other car.
Now my buddy is on the hook for a gas tank replacement. New F150 tank is approx $1300
