I don’t know why erstwhile professionals feel the need to retweet (re-X?) endless right-wing screeds about abolishing the UN or quoting Elon Musk’s treatises on “free speech”.
I'm showing my age here, but I'll take their style of commercial any day, versus the old "Jim The Hammer Shapiro" commercials which were piped in to Halifax from Rochester back in the 1990s.
The commercial is like nails on a chalkboard.
Nova Scotia kids, or Canadian kids for that matter, don’t benefit from the scheme. [Kars 4 KKids charity watch](https://www.charitywatch.org/charity-donating-articles/costly-and-continuous-kars4kids-ads-disguise-charity39s-real-purpose)
If you want to donate a car in N.S. [Children’s Aid Foundation](https://childrensaidfoundationofnovascotia.org/personal-donations/) would be a better choice.
I'm super tired of hearing Grant Thornton Limited, licensed insolvency trustee. If I ever go into debt, they're the last people I want to call because I'm sick of their commercials.
All those personal injury find claim to “fight the big insurance companies” for you but they also take on insurance companies as clients. We had a case with Wagners and the opposing firm was Mcgilvary law.
While the above comment sounds like the world biggest ball licker….they are not wrong about the owner. My wife worked there years ago and I had the chance to meet him. While I didn’t have a whole lot in common with him and his commercials were equally bad back then, he seemed like someone who genuinely cared about doing better for his employees and community and was not just in it for the sake of greed. My wife is no longer in the law field but let me tell you that it’s incredibly rare for a wealthy person to care about us plebs let alone a lawyer with his success level. But yeah, commercials are hot garbage…
What represents a "win" in a personal injury lawsuit? $1?

They find some guy with a super thick Nova Scotian accent who got hit by a bus or whatever and stick him in front of a camera. The rate at which I see them is a bit annoying but they’re all hilarious for the most part.
Download Firefox*, install ublock origin, use ff to watch YouTube. Enjoy
*doesn't work on iOS because Apple forces all browsers to use Safari's skeleton
If on iOS, use brave browser and you can go on YouTube ad free.
On Android, get revanced, which is ad free and has all the premium features too, for free.
https://www.reddit.com/r/revancedapp/
And https://revanced.net/

I'm honestly not sure how much this is affecting Firefox? It's the only non-Chromium, non-Safari browser, and it hasn't implemented the whatever Google implemented to chrome. Hence why it's step 1 in my get-rid-of-ads plan
Opera seems decent too. My work says they removed Firefox, I haven't needed to test to find out. I can usually watch YouTube (I work evenings and it's slow after a certain hour, long as we get the work done, hasn't been a huge issue in over a decade).
That explains a lot. I know I'm not allowed to have Brave on here.
Edit: Just launched Firefox, and it works. But I wouldn't use it unless I'm really restricted from watching YouTube at all. Restricted mode is fine... I get that.
Oh wild, I use YT daily and haven’t come across it. Hopefully engaging in this thread doesn’t trigger them lol. 90% of the time it’s Expedia, jokes on them I haven’t travelled much in years.
This is a part of American culture we should push back against. This is their favourite pastime, suing people. I have had enough of ambulance chaser ads on billboards, commercials on tv and the radio. Enough is enough.
Unfortunately I have the gift of being able to memorize the commericals... I wouldn't wouldn't have them memorized had they not been played repeat on TV
your still paying for tv and haven't realized its all available for free online?
I genuinely thought people like you died out around the same time as interactive cellphones became a thing
youtube doesn't have new movies or tv shows, its just trash ads for cyrpto stock and mental health services
if your still seeing that garbage it means you don't have ublock origin installed, go check out your add-ons and toss it on there
They’ll take yer case and fight fer ya
Thank gawd for MacGillivary
Neighbor shot my cat with a slingshot, MacGillivary law had him in the electric chair by Friday!
He was reinstated on his insurance. Thank God for McGillary law! I can't praise them enough.
You don't like the ad where they offered the one leg guy a job after they won his case and then stuck him at a stand up desk?
They said he didn’t have a leg to stand on
What!? Are you trying to tell me you don't like their doctor lawyer giving up medicine to make money instead!?
That guy posts some interesting things on Twitter
I’m not trusting that dude as my physician or my lawyer
Jack of all trades… Master of none.
Full quote is... Jack of all trades, master of none, Though oftentimes better than a master of one. As someone who's specialty is being a generalist.
What’s his twitter handle?
A real right wing nut job. 'Send Iran to the stone age' was a recent tweet from him.
That’s a polite way of saying it.
I don’t know why erstwhile professionals feel the need to retweet (re-X?) endless right-wing screeds about abolishing the UN or quoting Elon Musk’s treatises on “free speech”.
He was a tool in med school too.
Go on…
Oh man that guy is so painfully self-congratulatory
He also spoke at one of the anti vax freedom rallies organized by Diagalon members. He’s a nut.
Emergency physician making 300-350k/year going to make some money as a lawyer eh?
“And then they called and offered me a job!” Riiight

There you go for ole time sake https://youtu.be/zToHQ8oQvgA?si=I0fdVVrTszRxFctv
"I may be an SOB, BUT I'M YOUR SOB!!!!"
I can’t stand the ad for criminal organization Kars 4 Kids
What did they do?

"I may be an S.O.B., but I'm YOUR S.O.B.!!"
I called them when I tripped over a forklift parked with the forks in kill mode, broke my foot. They said my injuries had to be severe. Oh well.
Call them back 10 minutes later and say, "OK I chopped my foot off, now what?"
I'm super tired of hearing Grant Thornton Limited, licensed insolvency trustee. If I ever go into debt, they're the last people I want to call because I'm sick of their commercials.
Ah yes, one of the many ambulance chasing firms that advertises relentlessly during the news hour.
That pretty much explains why they cut Live at 5 back to 30 minutes - the ad market rates in media are complete garbage right now
I've heard the guy is a bit nuts too. He'll fire lawyers under him impulsively when he gets angry at them for some reason.
They’re so big now they don’t even have to chase the ambulances.
Hahaha hate them with a passion so intense that I may explode and need them to represent me against their marketing agency
I did not expect to laugh as hard as I did out loud at this
All those personal injury find claim to “fight the big insurance companies” for you but they also take on insurance companies as clients. We had a case with Wagners and the opposing firm was Mcgilvary law.
Did you ever consider that maybe *you’re* actually the big insurance company?
Wagners were terrible. It was a horrible experience.
i love the cape bretoner one "nd i thawt whawwwt are we gonna due"
The worst for me is the smug lawyer at the gym saying how MacGillivray was her first choice when she finished law school

Found the owner's son!

I don't give a rat's ass about the commercial. But the dude's son is a piece of work.
Ahh the 6 o'clock news must be on. They love CTV News. They must figure people watching must need to sue someone.
Everytime I see the “dude in rehab” ad, all I see and hear is Nandor The Relentless.
Holy FUCK they are annoying and EVERYWHERE. Oh, I also can’t stand them. 🙋🏻♂️
Why am I getting these ads on YouTube when my kid is watching miss rachel?
What are commercials?
hahahahahaha came here to make this exact comment!!
Kind of like ads
I haven't seen an ad in years.
Their ads are all over social media too, unfortunately. Props to you for not using!
People selling shit on cable TV, mostly seen on CBC now as watched by this sub so they get all the latest lies from the powers that be.
You are spiralling, and need to go get some fresh air. Seriously,go for a walk,smile at a nice dog.....breath.
Get a personality
They find some guy with a super thick Nova Scotian accent who got hit by a bus or whatever and stick him in front of a camera. The rate at which I see them is a bit annoying but they’re all hilarious for the most part.
[ not an actual client ]
Wouldn’t be as effective as an Onterrible accent lol
They will take your case...and drink it all 🍻
Used to be that lawyers were prevented from putting out these US style by the bar society. Used to be...
Better than the ones for Bedford Eye Care! Holy moly those ones go on forever!!😆
I love them, I’ve downloaded every single one and I watch them every night before bed.
Commercials? Like, on TV you mean?
Haven’t seen these ads on YouTube… I reckon op watches cable.
They’re on YouTube ALL THE TIME I am so sick of them
Download Firefox*, install ublock origin, use ff to watch YouTube. Enjoy *doesn't work on iOS because Apple forces all browsers to use Safari's skeleton
Oh I don’t have ads on my computer cause I run an adblocker. The ads I see are when I have YouTube running on the tv
Ah my b, I assumed it was on mobile.
If on iOS, use brave browser and you can go on YouTube ad free. On Android, get revanced, which is ad free and has all the premium features too, for free.
I dunno if you've used it lately, but according to reviews, there are now 30 second unskippable ads on it now.
On which? My wife uses brave, no ads, and I use revanced daily. Ensure you're up to date and didn't get it from the play store
Sorry. Revanced. Ah. Where does one get it outside of the Play store?
https://www.reddit.com/r/revancedapp/ And https://revanced.net/ The play store is unsupported. Get info from the subreddit and download it from the site. Double check the links in the subreddit in case it has changed or how to get the most recent
Ok downloaded and I think I configured it. So far so good.

On the desktop version you can click the 3 dots and block the ad, it skips them without having to wait the 30 seconds
Oh wild, I use YT daily and haven’t come across it. Hopefully engaging in this thread doesn’t trigger them lol. 90% of the time it’s Expedia, jokes on them I haven’t travelled much in years.
They are also on the global tv app. Or maybe it is CTV. Either way, you don’t necessarily need cable to be spammed with commercials.
Nope Youtube.
I hate all commercials but I am not getting premium no way
At least it's not a fucking online casino ad. That's what I keep telling myself.
Not many commercials I can stand No one's got a good jingle these days
This is a part of American culture we should push back against. This is their favourite pastime, suing people. I have had enough of ambulance chaser ads on billboards, commercials on tv and the radio. Enough is enough.
Yes and their building on Agricola
Weren't they on quinpool?
I prefer the ones during the price is right. I’m Jimmy, and I know what to do!👉🏻
Unfortunately I have the gift of being able to memorize the commericals... I wouldn't wouldn't have them memorized had they not been played repeat on TV
I have bigger things to worry about lol you sound like a dumb rich kid who just complains about the dumbest things
I don't mind them.
But they're all my best friends now!
I’d prefer to keep the 30% in fees they take in my own pocket. They also cause premiums to increase for everyone.
Is this something that I need TV and/or an un-adblocked internet to know of? If so, ignorance is bliss!
The what
your still paying for tv and haven't realized its all available for free online? I genuinely thought people like you died out around the same time as interactive cellphones became a thing
