Here is a story that happened to a friend of mine.
<snip...>
It caused a gash which had to be attended to in an emergency room.
The lady sued the city, the dance club sponsoring the dance, the fire
extinguisher manufacturer, AND THE CALLER, whom she contended should have
warned her about the danger.
Whether she won the suit or not, it still must be defended. Insurance is
indispensable. If you don't have it, get it. It's not expensive and it can
save you so much aggravation should an accident occur.

Not that I'm suggesting that something like this would "never" happen in
Canada, but I believe it's safe to say that the likelihood is *much* lower.
There are many reason why I don't want to live in the US and this is a
perfect example of one of them. I'm curious to know if this was a one night
stand or a regular dance. And if a regular dance, if that particular lady
was someone who regularly attended that dance, or was someone there for the
first time.
Unfortunately, all these stories do (and I do understand that they likely
make up a *very* small percentage of occurrences)is make me wonder if I
should be calling in the US.... And that seems a real shame to me. <sigh>

p.s. I've had one person respond to me directly about this and he wisely
mentioned that there are other caller lists that I don't participate in, and
potential callers who don't participate in those or use email. Therefore
it's difficult for me to get a sense of whether there's an interest and
critical mass in Canada to investigate coverage here.
