Agree, if no money changes hands. Sex with your wife/GF is also not a commercial transaction if no money changes hands.Driving your kids to hockey practice and carpooling isn't a commercial endeavour.

You are carrying a number of passengers in a private car in exchange for money. How is it different?Than UberX?
Isn't this like a reimbursement of expense? (Sort of like when my co-worker brings back coffee and everybody pays their fair share? No profit motive. Actually, we just take turns, so no money actually changes hands except the money paid to Tim's.)Most carpooling arrangements involve gas money.
Getting gas money is a commercial endeavour?You are carrying a number of passengers in a private car in exchange for money. How is it different?

LOL!Legally.
If you take money in exchange for a service it is a commercial transaction. Throwing around insults and putting on a clown show won't change that.LOL!
I have suspected you are retarded for quite some time... now it is proven by fact.
Man, you are out to lunch.If you take money in exchange for a service it is a commercial transaction. Throwing around insults and putting on a clown show won't change that.
Keep the clown show going. A carpool driver receives a fare in exchange for a trip. The only difference between that and Uber driving is how often.Man, you are out to lunch.
So, I go to Timmy's and grab a co-worker a medium steeped tea... I give it to him and he gives me $1.70. Is that a commercial endeavour, genius?

Man you are on crack.If you accepted payment for meals you certainly would be.
You are trying to argue that the line is whether it is a viable ongoing full fledged business enterprise with significant sales volume. That is not the line. Not legally. A commercial transaction can be a one off. If I post a classified ad and sell you my used car that is still a commercial transaction, though I'm clearly not running a dealership.
What language would you put in an insurance contract to allow taking fares for a carpool, but not Uber? Would it be frequency? So if the Uber driver only took one or two fares a day that would be OK?
Fuck! Your thick!Man you are on crack.
So all these carpool parking lots by the 401 (created by the government) and HOV lanes (created by the government) that have been around for decades are promoting an illegality?
According to you, if I drive in with a co-worker so we can use the HOV lanes, and he drops me a fiver for gas, I should have commercial insurance. You are so ignorant I'm not sure if I should laugh at you or cry for you. Given your track record, I think I will laugh at you.
Again, am I running a business when I get my buddy a double-double and he gives me $1.70?
According to you I am taking payment for a service, right? I am not making any money, but I provided a service, and received payment for that service. Should I tell CCRA about this practice?
Very intelligent of you... thanks for contributing to the debate.Fuck! Your thick!
Perfect, it was in line with the your shit! Eat one Happy New Year!Very intelligent of you... thanks for contributing to the debate.
PS: It is "you're".
Brilliant!Perfect, it was in line with the your shit! Eat one Happy New Year!
My view is that they are not illegal at all. Moreover, that Uber is not illegal at all. But those trying to ban Uber are going to need to explain how they can do that without also banning carpools.Man you are on crack.

OK, let's get semantics out of the equation, because that is always what you base your arguments on.My view is that they are not illegal at all. Moreover, that Uber is not illegal at all. But those trying to ban Uber are going to need to explain how they can do that without also banning carpools.
You keep saying "running a business" which is an attempt to move the goalpost away from "commercial transaction" since you know you will lose the argument.
Let's get semantics out of the way: if you accept payment to drive somebody, and you have an agreement that they will pay you in exchange for the ride, that is just like Uber.OK, let's get semantics out of the equation, because that is always what you base your arguments on.
I go to Timmies and get my buddy a double-double, he gives me $1.70. Is that a "commercial transaction"?
I throw a BBQ and upon leaving, some guests choose to leave a gift of some sort for my hospitality. Is that a "commercial transaction"?
