Hi there,

I know someone close to me whom is working as a server/waitress in Alberta, she has been employed with the franchise for over a month now working part time hours.

In her off time she is required to complete franchise required work courses; unpaid.

She informed me that if the required courses are not completed then they will begin deducting tips and cutting shifts, as it has already happened to some of the other staff.

It is under my impression that this should all be paid time legally?

She brought it up to her manager and was told they would look into it, but I am certain it will get brushed off.

Has anyone else been in this situation before, I think she should bring it up with the labour board.

In my experience and from my research the franchise is legally required to pay anytime for work or requried work courses unless they were a requirement for employment or courses that a worker would take on their own to improve their career etc.

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for advice on how to handle a serious situation. There is this TikTok user who lives in Canada and who has been harassing and bullying people in Somalia, mostly atheists and Christians, who are already a persecuted minority there. This guy moved from Finland to Canada, and he is a new immigrant there. He doxes and reveals their faces anyone he considers Kaffir or non-believer. And most of the time he asks and encourages people back home Somalia to harm this person. There is multiple people I know who effected, jailed and some of em even left their homes and fled to the neighboring countries because of his threats.
It is a shame such individual lives in Canada peacefully and practices his faith without anyone interfering yet he bullies and hurts people who are already in a not safe place.
I want to know the right, lawful way to report this. My questions is
1: Who in Canada should I contact? Local police, the RCMP, or the National Cybercrime Coordination Centre?

2: Does Canadian law cover online harassment or incitement when the victims are in another country?
How should I document the evidence (screenshots, links, dates) so it's useful to authorities?

3 Are there Canadian human rights or religious freedom organizations that help with cases like this?
Has anyone dealt with something similar, and what worked?
I linked above the account I am talking about:

He lives in Edmonton

EDIT: He is actual name is Abdirahman Abdullahi Haji Ahmed. He just moved from Finland and seeking asylum here in Canada.

Dad is in the ICU in a hospital in Europe where is unconscious (for over 6 months), he is not a citizen or resident of that country. He does not have a POA or Will. No travel insurance, and therefore the hospital bill is not being paid currently, and therefore the hospital is not willing to provide us any letters to show he is incapacitated. Dad has properties outside of Canada (Westbank, Palestinian territory), and we have concerns that someone in Westbank is going to forge papers to sell such properties and we want to get in front of this issue. My question is, legally can get any court order in Ontario or a way to allow us act on his behalf for the property outside of Canada. He is a resident of Ontario and have lived in Canada for more than 20 years.

Edit: Dad is a Canadian Citizen

Hey everyone,
Quick question for anyone familiar with HR or employment stuff—do employees generally have a legal right to see what’s inside their own personnel/employee file?
I’ve been thinking about asking to look at mine just to see what’s in there (performance reviews, notes, disciplinary history, etc.), but I wanted to know what the rules actually are. Does HR have to show it to you if you ask, or can they legally say no?
If anyone has dealt with this or knows how it works (especially regarding privacy laws or standard company policies), I’d love to hear your thoughts or experiences!

Note;- I want/need to see it because I've been sitting in limbo for 7 months after an investigation with zero outcome given to me. On top of that, an official third party requested details from my employer a month ago regarding this, and my employer is completely ghosting them.
As a nurse, having an unresolved investigation hanging over your head indefinitely affects professional standing and peace of mind. I'm just trying to figure out what is actually being documented (or stalled) in my file since management refuses to communicate.

My friend and I are looking for updates on her ex’s criminal court case in the Ontario superior court. He had his pre-trial mid last week and the portal has not been updated - the next date and previous date just say N/A. It used to update immediately. Any thoughts?
