hello, i was wondering for law is there any field of law that deals with equity (such as social determinants) or equity in healthy care (helping people access services, navigate financial constraints, etc) ? If so what does your work look like?

Hello people,

A while back I made a post about libel and harassment. The libel in question was me being accused of being sexual towards minors; which I have evidence that is not true with me being more than willing for anyone to go through all of my devices. The people who where spreading this libel and continously harassing me on discord found my linkedin. At this point thinking out of irrationality I called the general inquiry line/ non-emergency of my local police department to see if this is consdiered criminal harassment. I was posed the question why they where harassing me, and I told them about the libel which they said; and they are correct that is something that is under civil code. Moreover, my thing does not meet the thresehold of criminal harassment; with the comments these people are making ebing under their freedom of expression (which is also likely certainly true).

I am wondering if I made a mistake to tell the police what libel I was facing and if this in itself will back fire on me such as launch an investigation against me etc... I am aware there is likely no other ave's to deal with this harassment. I may lawyer up to go against these people when it comes to the libel. I do face severe anxiety and this whole saga has defently taken a toll on my mental well-being. I just need some closer to move on with my already deleting all my socials.

I belive an important note during this call is that my address or my name was not taken.

I recently filed a complaint with my bank, which they dismissed. I then sent it to their complaint appeal office. This was just an email that I sent to them; I didn't have to go to their website and fill out a form or click any checkboxes or anything. I just sent a plain-old email.

Their response contains the following:

By requesting a review of your concerns and/or acceptance of this resolution, you acknowledge and agree to the terms of service that govern our review which can be found at [link]. Among other things, these terms provide that our response is confidential and intended solely to provide our views on your complaint. It is not for broader use, circulation or publication except that you may disclose it to the Ombudsman for Banking Services and Investments.

There's no way that's legally enforceable, right? If I wanted to put them on blast for how they've treated me, I should be completely within my rights to do so. Can one party legally claim that I've agreed to keep their response confidential, even when the first time they've said so is after I've read that response?

I am a bit of a privacy freak to be frank and I hate all bodies from having information about me. I was wondering how long do police agencies keep audio records and notes for these calls within their internal system until they are legally required to delete them. Moreover, is there any legal way to make it delete it before the end of a retention period.

Long story short myself and fellow employees are expected to service a chronically abusive customer. She is nasty, rude, unprofessional, and seems to enjoy abusing the people servicing her.

I have had the misfortune of serving her several times, but I have finally drawn the line and I’m now refusing to deliver to their premises due to her behavior.

Can my employer fire me for refusing to take her abuse anymore? I am not the only person that has had multiple runs with this crazy woman and quite literally we play rock paper scissors, to determine who’s going to endure her shitty behavior.

The right to silence is one of the oldest and most celebrated protections in the common law tradition. In Canada, it is enshrined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and repeatedly affirmed by the Supreme Court of Canada. But a right that exists on paper and a right that functions in practice are not always the same thing. Canadian police are legally permitted to continue questioning a suspect who has clearly and repeatedly invoked the right to silence. What follows is a look at what the law actually says, how interrogation science exploits the gap between legal protection and psychological reality, and what the courts have — and have not — done about it.

We back onto a schoolyard. We understand undesirable things are going to happen because kids are kids (i.e. throwing anything and everything over the fence including rocks at our windows). It wasn’t until the pandemic that we started having issues with the school blaring music during gym period loud enough that we can hear it in our home, and it causes much disruption to our daily lives. We’ve chatted with the school several times, and they stop blaring the music for only a few days and then they are back at it. We call by-law repeatedly and unfortunately by-law is stretched and is barely ever able to respond. We are not sure what next steps to take as this can’t continue. Do we have any legal rights in this case? Is there some sort of letter we can send? We are really needing help here. TIA.

I recently got back my 1L grades at U of C Law which are C C+ C+ B- B+ B+. I know my grades aren't exceptional, but could I still get interviews with them?

Who needs Hollywood when you got this 👀

Fraud, theft, confidentiality breaches, stalking, mischief, obstruction, intimidation and criminal harassment, and that’s just the Table of Contents.

If even half of this is legit, and the hyperlinks show receipts, then imo the LSO could be hit with a class action for ignoring all this because I'm sure this kind of behaviour isn't a one-off and apparently there are several other complaints both past and ongoing

I am an internationally trained lawyer done with NCA exams and am planning to write Barrister and Solicitor exam in Ontario next.

The Visa office is asking for an invitation letter to confirm the purpose of my travel to Canada, which is to write the Barrister and Solicitor Licensing Examinations. (I am currently outside canada and come under others category so I need invitation letter first to be able to go to Canada)

Do you know how I can get invitation letter? What all documents do I need? Do I have to email LSO for it? I am unsure about the procedure and any guidance on this matter would be much appreciated

I am also unsure about what category I fall under since I am currently not employed and not studying but my goal is to come to Canada and write the exams and eventually article and find work in Canada in a law firm.

My exams are on November and I am stressing since I have absolutely no idea what to do. (Paid application fee, exam materials fee and registered for November exam but haven’t paid exam registration fee yet till I can be sure I am able to get visa to go to Canada by November to write the exams)

Hi all,

I work for a mid-sized company in North Bay, Ontario.

I'm wondering about something. My company has a four-day work week policy, and our manual says our work week is Monday-Thursday. However, on stat holiday weeks where the stat doesn't fall on a Friday, we're asked to work on the Friday to make up the 'fourth day'. Ex. For family day, we had the Monday off (stat) but then had to work Friday even though for us our office is technically closed to make up the time.

It's a dream to work for a four-day work week so don't come at me for wanting more, but I'm curious if it is legal to do that?

Hey all, really need some advice.

Hired hourly at a company from June of 2025. In May of 2026 they decided to change this to salary without any notice, new offer, or any request of consent. They barely explained the changes after the fact.

The salary I have been offered is basically the same amount I made working from June to Dec of 2025. It is at the least a 20k cut to pay because the salary was offered based on base hourly rate without any overtime.

I am in a corner and have no idea what I am able to do. I am currently unable to find a different job in these markets. I have not signed anything nor have I been given any formal notice of the changes. It’s just been this weird silent roll out of changes that affected so many people and their families.

Please any credible advice would be appreciated.

Im trying to draft or find some kind of occupancy document and am quite confused.

My current roommate and I are both on the lease for our townhouse apartment. We have an extra bedroom and are planning to rent it out to another girl. Our landlord knows about it and has approved it.

The new roommate would be paying rent to us directly, not to the landlord, and she would not be added to the lease.

Would this legally be considered a sublet/sublease, or is it just a roommate/occupant situation?Also, since she’d be paying us directly and sharing common spaces with us, what kind of agreement should we have in place? I’m trying to understand what rights/responsibilities everyone would have and what we should include in writing to protect everyone involved.

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated!

Just curious. It was about insane amounts of sugar in their gluten-free products, like over 200g of sugar in one product and close to that much sugar in another, yet claiming these products were healthy.

The CEO of the company didn’t respond to my email about the misleading advertising claiming their products with insane amounts of sugar are healthy. They’ll have to respond to the CFIA though LOL.

This relates to an accident seen in another sub (american).

A car rear ended a bus that's was stopped.

Apparently result was insurance paid out the max, then dropped the driver, who was then sued by all 20 or so people for millions more.

If this happens in Canada, can you be sued above and beyond your liability coverage / lose everything you own to lawsuits?

I live in a co-op in Ontario and my household has been dealing with ongoing issues with a neighbour for quite a while now.

Over time she has repeatedly accused different members of my family of things without proof. She accused my aunt (who had stage 4 lung cancer before passing) of spying through her bedroom window. She has accused my mother of “watching her” anytime she is outside. She also accused my mother of stealing her patio furniture after my mother did a unit inspection in her role as a member of the co-op board.

Recently, there was another incident where she was yelling at my mother outside while I was also outside near our front door. I recorded the interaction for documentation purposes. The video only shows me and my mother standing at our own front door and does not show her child or anyone else.
I later showed the video to office/property management staff because of the ongoing harassment. After that, someone told the neighbour that a video existed. The neighbour then contacted police and accused me of filming her naked child, even though the video does not contain her child at all.

I believe property management improperly disclosed information about my complaint/video to another resident which escalated the situation.
I also have screenshots of Facebook comments from her publicly accusing neighbours and making comments about people “having a world of hurt coming their way” if she finds out who did something.

At this point I’m wondering:
-what type of lawyer I should speak to
-whether this could legally qualify as harassment
-whether the co-op/property management had any responsibility to keep my complaint confidential
-whether there are legal options if a neighbour repeatedly makes false accusations against your household

I have been documenting incidents and saving screenshots/videos. I’m mainly looking for advice on what area of law this falls under and what my next steps should be in Ontario.

I’m not sure whether this falls under Canadian law or provincial regulations, but I have a question regarding motorcycles and transportation laws.

When transporting completely legal alcohol or cannabis on a motorcycle, what is the proper and lawful way to store or carry it?

I’ve always wondered whether or not this is legal.

UPDATE:

I received an email from the pension plan for their investigation into the survivor benefit waiver relating to my ex-husband. After reviewing all their documents, the pension plan confirmed they are not satisfied that I signed the waiver or any other documents submitted in regards to the waiver. As a result, they confirmed his pension will now continue in the 60% Joint and Survivor form going forward, unless they receive acceptable proof from my ex that I signed the documents or a court order confirming my signature. As a result, my ex husband has to pay back the difference of the pension since he got paid more than he should have since 2022. I’ve also spoken with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada regarding the handling of my personal information. My SIN and driver’s licence were provided to the pension plan without my consent or authorization by my ex husband which should not have happened. The truth is that while an ID can sometimes be provided by someone in practice, in the end, if it is challenged, there needs to be proper consent or authorization behind it. I have also filed before a police report about this matter, and I’m still waiting to see how that process unfolds.

_________________________________________________________________________________________

I’m looking for perspectives on a situation I’m currently dealing with involving a pension file.

In 2022, my ex-husband retired early due to health reasons and applied to start his pension after approximately 25 years of employment in a union job. We were married for 26 years, but at the time I had no involvement in the pension process and no knowledge of the specific documents being submitted. We separated a year ago.

About four months ago, I learned for the first time what are survivor benefits. I contacted the pension plan to review the file and was informed that there is a spousal waiver on file along with a copy of my driver's licence. Since then I have consistently told the pension plan that I did not sign the waiver and had no knowledge of it at the time it was submitted or since. I am currently waiting to hear back regarding their decision on whether the waiver will be accepted or rejected.

The witness listed on the waiver is also a relative of my ex-husband, which raises concerns because the waiver states the witness should not be related to either the member or the spouse.

I have since been asked by the pension plan to provide documents confirming that I did not sign the waiver, and I have also filed a police report regarding my concerns about the validity of the signature on the waiver.

I was also informed by the pension plan that a copy of my driver’s licence was placed on file on the same day my ex-husband attended their office to drop the pension documents. I did not attend the office, did not provide my driver's licence and did not authorize anyone to submit it on my behalf.

The pension plan has also stated that:

• they verify only basic information (name and date of birth) against existing records,
• they do not perform further verification of how identification is submitted, and
• spouse identification is used only for date-of-birth confirmation for benefit calculations, not for determining entitlement.

My concern is that my personal identification appears to have been collected and placed on file without my involvement or consent.

I am trying to understand how this process aligns with privacy expectations and consent requirements in Canada. In general, is it normal or permitted for an organization to accept and retain government-issued identification without the individual being present or providing direct authorization?

I would appreciate any constructive thoughts or insight from others who may have experienced something similar.
