I have been on the Apotex for three doses of 1mg and I have severe allergic reaction, full body hives, and dry cough. I also noticed more food noise, and it wore off faster, despite being on the first higher dose at 1 for all three shots. I felt that the regular Ozempic worked better for me at .25 and .5 than this plus no allergic reaction. However, on the regular O, I did have dizziness, headaches, and a bit of nausea, and none with Apotex.

For people saying it's the exact same thing, no it's not. The hospital, pharmacists, and doctors have all told me that the semaglutide should be similar but it is not tested for any therapeutic advantages, so food noise, and other benefits - for me I am treating fatty liver - are not actually being compared. As well, the mechanisms they use to bind and deliver can be different, which could cause an allergic reaction like mine.

I'm a Canadian resident who is about to start as an independent contractor for a U.S.-based company in California.

I'm not looking for tax advice - I already understand the tax, invoicing, and cross-border payment side of things. What I'm looking for is guidance on the actual contractor agreement itself.

Does anyone have a good contract template, checklist, or referral to a lawyer familiar with Canada/U.S. contractor agreements?

The company sent me a draft agreement that includes provisions around liability insurance, indemnification, and California governing law. As the contractor operating in Canada, I'm trying to understand what terms are standard, what I should be pushing back on, and what protections I should have in place.

For example:

• Is it normal for the agreement to be governed by California law, or should it be governed by the laws of my province (British Columbia)?
• Should there be a limitation of liability clause?
• Is professional liability / E&O insurance commonly required for independent marketing and growth strategy contractors?
• What other clauses should I be paying attention to before signing?

I'd appreciate any practical experience from Canadians contracting for U.S. companies, particularly around standard contract terms and risk allocation.
