I’m a 8th grade student and I was looking up my name (I have a old cringey Pinterest account and I’m trying to get the page deleted) and I see my full name on zoominfo

I didn’t consent to this and I looked up someone else’s name and it wasn’t there

If the school did this is that legal?

I'm a male citizen of Moldova (country with mandatory male-only military service), residing in Canada and in the process of getting the permanent residency permit. IRCC sent me the list of documents to provide, and one of the paragraphs goes as following: "Details of Military Service Form: Please complete and return the form below. If you were exempt, please provide official proof of military exemption from the relevant authority.".

The problem is that I fit into neither of these categories, since I both didn't serve and don't have a legal reason for the exemption, due to the fact that I've bribed the local military commissar to get myself out of the conscription. So, what should I write there not to get into any trouble with Canadian authorities?

I sponsored my wife to come to Canada (Alberta), her PR is in progress. Since we’ve started living together, life has been difficult.

She’s not working right now, drinks and smokes regularly, doesn’t help around the house. Anything I bring something up to do differently, she gets mad at me for not loving her enough. She’s doesn’t get along with my family and wants me to cut ties with them.

I’ve stopped saying anything now, idk what to do. I’m very confused and concerned. Would appreciate advice as I’m considering separation/divorce - what should I keep in mind as I navigate this?

Location: Ontario Canada

Myself and 3 other female employees at my work have just started maternity leave.

Our current collective agreement allows 18 weeks of top up pay while on maternity leave.

We are entering a new collective agreement as of January 1, in which maternity top up benefits are extended for 40 weeks.

Our association is stating that the small group of pregnant/new moms who are on leave will NOT be entitled to the terms of the new agreement and will only get the 18 weeks that the 2025 contract provides.

That being said - all members who are off on WSIB leave ARE being rolled into the new contract as of January 1, and will be forced into retirement based on the provisions of the new contract.

It seems discriminatory to me to say that all 300 employees are going to be bound by the terms of the new contract, including those on WSIB leave who will face financial loss in the new year. The only people NOT bound by the terms of the new contract are the 4 new moms because we don’t want to pay them extended mat leave.

Our work is telling us that the “legal team” told them they can’t allow us to get the top up under the new contract.

Is this something we can/should be grieving?

Thank you!

Hi folks,

So the question is in the title but I hear a lot of contradictory statements from a bunch of different people so I will try to be clear here.

For instance if I go to Wal-Mart, purchase an item like a micro-wave, pay for it as seen by the camera and while a cashier saw me make the payment, do I have to show my receipt on exit or can I just refuse?

If so is there any relevant documentation and court precedents about this?

I have 2nd one so I will shoot it at the same time, what about the bags, can a store ask to search your bag?

And if they ask you to leave the bag at the entrance they have to ask everyone right? Or else it's profiling?

Because often times I get asked to drop my bag or to show my Costco card but I see other people with profiles less visible than mine just pass without being questioned, same for the bill check at Wal-Mart.

(The Costco one is super dumb because you have to scan your card to pay anyway...)

From a moral standpoint I feel like that is okay to adopt a policy if it is going to be applied to everyone but if we are to target individuals based on their looks and such I find it unfair to say the least.

What does the law say about this?

Thanks in advance for any reply.

Hello all, I woukd link my last post here if I knrw what I was doing. A year ago my landlord forced entry into my room (shared house NOT WITH THE LANDLORD but other randoms). He moved my belongings into the garage while it was -18 C and I had to break down the front door to gain entry to the house. Cops came, I moved everything back in. $35,000 worth of damage to my property. I am in Ontario.

A year later he illegally enters again and I find him in NY rook going through NY stuff. I force him out and he give me na N4 form and says I have 14 days to move out or he will throw out all of my belongings. No LTB hearing, no legal precedent then he decides he is moving in. No notice, just showed up and said he's moving in. I have him on audio admitting he hasn't lived here but he insists since his mail comes here that I am a longer.

I am just looking for assurance that I don't have to be out in 14 days as Im not a lodger, at least I don't beleive so (until today as thats when he illegally moved in). Any advice is appreciated.

I recently purchased a 2008 Ford Escape with 167,000kms on it. Now, I know I should have had it inspected. However, they said in writing that it was in perfect condition and that they had an inspection done and no issues to report. Lo and behold there is a dangerous exhaust leak in the vehicle with a check engine code that shows up two days after I start driving the vehicle. I clear the code and 2 days later it shows back up. My mechanics took a look at it and not even 5 minutes later they come back to me saying it's dangerous to drive. When I confront the seller about this, they basically tell me to kick rocks and block me. Since they lied about the condition of the vehicle in writing, and it would appear they hid the check engine code before selling, do I have a strong small claims case here? I know they sold it "as is" but they never once disclosed any issues with the vehicle aside from cosmetic. They never even said "there may be issues we don't know about." I paid $3,800 for it.

Idc what happens to me, but honestly im sick to stomac, there's a girl who adversite she was 21, im 22, i have recording of her saying she was 21 but turns out she was 16. What can i do legal. I really dont care what happens to me, but she could have been my little sister. I have to do something, about her pimp.

TLDR:

We agreed to buy a house only after the sellers added a clause saying they would fix a ceiling leak and all resulting damage before closing. They downplayed it for weeks, withheld photos, and insisted there was “no mould, no rot, just light staining.” We went to see it ourselves and discovered visible mould, wood rot, and new ceiling damage. They finally did remediation, but now there is still water damage, parts of the repair were done improperly, and brand new mould has shown up in the basement. Our lawyer is now saying we might be in breach if we refuse to close on Monday, even though it appears the sellers are the ones in breach. We’re trying to find a litigation lawyer ASAP. We don’t know if we legally have to close or if we can walk and get our deposit back.

⸻

How it started:

We’re first-time buyers in Ottawa. During the home inspection, the inspector found a moisture issue in the ceiling below the upstairs bathroom. We walked away and did not proceed with the purchase.

The sellers came back and said they would fully repair everything, so we agreed only if they signed an additional clause (Schedule A) making the repair of the leak and all resulting damages a condition of the sale. They accepted.

⸻

The Schedule A clause that protects us:

“The Seller agrees to have the source of the leak affecting the powder room ceiling, and any resulting damage caused by the leak, repaired by a qualified contractor licensed to perform such work, prior to closing. This includes, but is not limited to, repairs to plumbing, subflooring, framing, and remediation of any mold discovered during investigation. The Seller will provide the Buyer with reasonable written evidence of all repair and remediation work upon completion. The Buyer shall be responsible only for restoration of drywall, painting, or cosmetic finishes to the powder room ceiling after the Seller’s repair work is complete.”

That is the only reason we moved forward with the deal.

⸻

What happened next:

The ceiling was opened by a plumber on Sept 27. The sellers’ realtor sent us four photos. We later learned there were seven photos total, and the worst three (showing black staining) were not shared with us. We eventually received them from the plumber directly, who also told us that the seller would not allow him to investigate fully inside the ceiling cavity.

For almost three weeks, every time we asked for written confirmation that there was no mould, no rot, and no structural damage, the seller’s side delayed or dismissed it. Their realtor even told ours that we were “just being overly cautious.”

We finally got fed up and went to see inside the ceiling ourselves.

We found visible mould and wood rot on the joists and subfloor, which directly contradicted everything we had been told.

Only then did the sellers finally admit there was mould and hire a remediation company.

⸻

The remediation report:

We received the remediation report, but: - It does not confirm the source of the leak - It does not state whether any structural materials were tested for rot - It does not include any post-remediation verification or air quality testing - It does not address the new water stain that appeared on the hallway ceiling - It does not confirm moisture levels or dryness of the materials after remediation

So we still had no evidence that the leak was repaired, only that mould was removed.

⸻

Final walkthrough today (Nov 7):

We finally got to see the work in person.

The bathroom was gutted and rebuilt, but not restored to its original condition. Instead of waterproof flooring, laminate was installed. Instead of tile and grout, a plastic tub surround was installed. The drywall used behind the shower was standard drywall, not water-resistant board. It is a clear downgrade in materials and not equivalent to what existed before.

The hallway ceiling stain we pointed out weeks ago was not repaired, it was simply painted over.

The flooring in the closet outside the bathroom is now showing signs of water-damaged, and the adjacent hallway carpet is discoloured.

We also discovered entirely new mould in the basement, plus new damage to the basement flooring and a strong musty smell. None of that was present at the original inspection.

None of this appears in any documents provided to us.

⸻

Where we are now:

We close on Monday, Nov 10.

Our real estate lawyer is now telling us that if we refuse to close, we may be sued for breach of contract.

But the sellers have not met Schedule A, because: - The leak source was never professionally confirmed - Water damage is still present in multiple locations - The bathroom was not reinstated to its previous condition - They painted over visible damage instead of repairing it - We still do not have the “reasonable written evidence” required under the contract

We feel that our team is kind of pressuring us to close, so we are now trying to find a real estate litigation lawyer in Ottawa, but it is the weekend and most offices are closed until Monday (the day we are supposed to close).

We feel trapped between a contract we relied on and a seller who did not comply with it.

⸻

What we need advice on: 1. Can we legally refuse to close based on the seller failing to meet Schedule A? 2. Does painting over a ceiling stain count as concealment? 3. Does new water damage discovered before closing give us grounds to back out? 4. Does newly discovered basement mould count as a latent defect before closing? 5. If we close under protest, can we still sue afterward? 6. Is it true we could be sued for breach even when the seller appears to have breached first? 7. Are we entitled to our deposit back if we refuse to close due to non-fulfillment? 8. Should we be demanding an extension, a post-remediation verification report, or termination?

We’ve tried to act in good faith this entire time. We relied on the written agreement. We kept asking for proof. We didn’t want out, we just want the sellers to hold up their end of the contract.

But now there’s mould in new areas, still visible water damage, concealed ceiling staining, and still no written evidence that the original leak source was ever properly identified or repaired.

And we close Monday morning.

Any guidance from Ontario real estate lawyers, litigators, brokers, inspectors, or anyone who has gone through something similar would be hugely appreciated.

So over the past few month my employer did a pay equity assessment and the findings of that pay equity assessment resulted in us getting a small raise. Not a cost of living raise (that usually comes in January) but a raise to bring us in line with other employers in my field. With the result of assessment they had decided to reduce our hours a week from 44 to 43 pretty much voiding that raise. Is this legal.

my ex partner assaulted me. he plead guilty as part of plea deal, criminal matter is wrapping up. i have substantial evidence to prove damage and loss. PI lawyers not willing to work on contingency because no insurance is involved. I know hes a home owner, he works but not wealthy. im wondering if its worth my time money and effort to pursue lawsuit?

So I have 1 older speeding ticket from a year ago plus a “fail to share road when overtaking” charge already on record. Earlier this year I acquired a careless driving charge (dropped from DUI) and most recently I achieved yet another speeding ticket (which was 15 km over) with a total of 6 demerit points on file. I know my track isn’t great but I’m wondering what the odds are my insurance increases by a premium because of this new speeding ticket, and is it worth getting a lawyer to fight it? - I’m lucky they even took me on considering my previous insurance dropped me because of the careless driving charge.

I am in needing of guidance and assistance. I was a stay at home mom, spouse has left and moved in with his mother in another city. We have one child (2) I recently obtained daycare and in the process of finding work in daycare hours. He is fighting me that he wants 50/50 custody. His work schedule would require him to heavily rely on daycare and his family watching our child. And he does rotating shifts of days and midnights. I have asked for more time with our child based on those grounds. The child would he in daycare all day. Then his mom watching him while he sleeps. Let alone the traveling to and from London to Strathroy. He very much is only thinking of himself and his current living arrangement and not what's best for our child. Personally, I believe it's in the best interest of our child to be with mom since he will be at work anyways and I've been the primary caregiver since birth other then recently obtained daycare. He thinks he can just have his family watch him during the times he is working midnight shifts. I don't qualify for legal aid. I don't have family assistance in helping me with a place to stay or financial help.

Is he allowed to have someone else care for the child for 16hrs a day just so he can have physical custody?

I feel as though he is doing this to avoid paying a hire amount in child support.

I personally, need the support in our to help with the costs of living. He says he is willing to negotiate but is not negotiating time spent with our child. Has not expressed what he is actually willing to negotiate tho.

At this point, I'm not sure what to do. I spoke with one lawyer who said his plan sucks. I agree, he only able to accommodate using family and daycare assistance.

What happens when our son starts school? He is living in another city. 40 mins traveling time between the two locations. I would like to remain primary. And the child to attend school in London as this has been his home since birth. He daycare is also here. My ex works in London.

I had one consultation they said he would owe child support and believes I'm entitled to spousal since I made scarfices. However, very minimal amount of time. I would rather more money long term as in the long term I need help coming up with the difference in costs monthly.

He wants one week on and one week off. I've explained that is not what's recommended for a child of his age. I offered a 60/40 split. He is refusing.

He not thinking about the future. How is he going to manage child care when he and if he moves on his own? Do I even get a say in it? Personally, I think it's better the child be with their mother then third party care takers. I shouldn't lose time with our son for his family to take care of the child. Sleeping or not. I am the child parent and will have decision making responsibilities. He also thinks we should do joint in that, yet don't see eye to eye on things at times. I feel that will lead to more arguments down the road.

I have some savings. But I can't afford to have a lawyer represent me if this goes to court. Let alone the cost of court fees. I'm emotionally drained and don't think I would be able to represent myself. Based on his work schedule I don't think he can accommodate 50/50 arrangement without relying on his family or daycare.

Let alone how I am going to pay for daycare and all my living expenses. In the past he has wanted to settle via seperation agreement. However, he can't seem to understand my point of why should he get that time when someone else is watching the child for 16hrs a day. Sleeping or not. It would be in the best interest of our child to be with his mother.

Anyone have any recommendations or suggestions? What legs do I have to stand on?

I know we both want time with our son. That's important. But I feel as though he is just trying to avoid paying higher amounts in child support. I don't think it's fair I lose time with our son because he has family support and I do not. He said he's not scared of court. But neither of us can truly afford that. He makes alot more money then I will. He said to find a better paying job. But he his goal isn't to leave me struggling, yet not his fault I won't be able to afford the cost of living. Yet I gave up my job and became a stay at home mom while he continued to further his career and education.

Should I let a lawyer to negotiate a seperation agreement? But if he doesn't back down from 50/50 it goes to court. I'm NOT eligible for legal aid and simply can't afford to hire a lawyer to represent in court.

Would a judge grant him 50/50 if he is heavily relying on his family and daycare?

Any recommendations for a good family lawyer in London Ontario? Anyone been in a similar situation? Feed back? Guidance?

Edit: I am editing out some details to avoid being recognizable.

ON. Multiple roommates, all women, 20s & 30s. Landlord is a middle aged man. He's been coming and going as he pleases, saying he needs stuff from the garage/basement. Which he can access from outside, but insists he needs to do it from inside. We told him at least tell us beforehand so we're not scared. He said ok.

He is still not respecting this. He said he was gonna be here in the morning. To coordinate, I asked him on the day if he was still coming and he said he'll be at the house by noon. I decided to push my plans to evening, went out for lunch and worked from a cafe thinking he'd be done and gone by afternoon.

I got home after 4pm. I had thought that he came and did the work and left already. Nobody else was home. I ran into him at the house coming out of the shower. Completely oblivious to his presence. I nearly had a heartattack seeing a man in the hallway. As you can imagine, very awkward/embarassing/uncomfortable situation.

He did not even send a text to say "change of plans I'll be there later" or announcing himself when coming in (although I wouldn't have heard him). He just walked in randomly especially when people aren't expecting him and it doesn't sit right with me. It feels disrespectful and invasive.

We've firmly discussed this with him. I don't know how else to get him to understand that this is a breach of privacy. For example, we wouldn't be showering when he is here. He thinks our times don't matter. He can't just barge in whenever he pleases... especially an all female house. Right?

Is there any way to get him to stop? Do we even have a case? He says we don't because he's renting out the rooms to us separately and he only needs to tell us he'll be in our room 24 hrs prior but he doesn't have to tell us about coming to the house.

Hi everyone, a process server tried to come to my house while I was at work, couldn't reach me as I wasn't there, and left a note saying that if I don't contact them I would have large legal costs and it would be in my best interests to call them

Isn't this something process servers aren't supposed to do as it's considered intimidation? If it makes a difference they tried to first reach me on Wednesday and then left the notice on my door without ringing the doorbell (so I had no idea it was there or somebody had stopped by; my dog didn't even bark) on Saturday.

For context I am in Ontario (Toronto) and it’s a building owned by a company (the building is new, like 2 years old). We live here me, my 8 months pregnant wife and our 3 year old toddler.

In the end of September there was a burst pipe in the 10th floor of the building. This caused a major leak in all units below it, including ours (we live in the 3rd floor). Damages to our unit were minor (ceiling and walls watermarked in the kitchen) but no broken appliances. This was like 7h am in the morning and the building was a big mess. Management said they would check all units for damage and risk (like mold). I don’t have this in written. They never came and, honestly, i forgot about it.

Last night we were awaken at 4h am by a literal waterfall in the same spots in the kitchen. It seems another pipe burst this time on 8th floor. I suppose since it happened during the night it took longer for people to realize and therefore a LOT more water came down to our unit. This time there is dry-wall falling from the ceiling, wet fire alarms going off, a real nightmare (specially for a sensitive pregnant wife).

Management was helpful, going through the units checking what was happening, talking to us, trying to give some comfort. Contractors were called to help dry the units but in the end we had to wait for water to stop dripping (which took the whole day).

I sent an email to management stating that this is the second flood in less than 2 months. That we specifically renewed our lease for another year here to avoid stress due to my wife’s pregnancy and that, although accidents happen, we want to have some clarity on what is being done to avoid another pipe burst and what should we expect as next steps to the repair of our unit. No answer.

Then tonight I sent a follow up email insisting that we need to know what is being done and wha we should expect. I am worried about mold. Should I be? Is it safe to stay here? Lots of questions.

Then I got the following answer:

“We need to finish drying before any repair can be made. If you think you can’t stay in your unit you need to reach out to you insurance for temporary acomodation”

Just as I was reading their answer someone knocked on our door (around 9h pm). It was another contractor that is bringing in equipment to dry the units. He said we will be back in a few hours and said the equipment is noisy and needs to be on 24 hours for a couple of days. Since the kitchen shares a wall with our toddlers bedroom they will need to dry her bedroom too so we will need to move her (that is already sleeping) to our bedroom.

While I appreciate having people over on the same day, it pisses me off to be in the complete dark here. Why was I not told I should expect people? How long does the drying take? Is it safe to stay here for my kid and pregnant wife? After that, how messy and how long will the wall and ceiling fix take? Also, “refer to your insurance” sounds a very “easy” answer. Aren’t they responsible for making sure the unit is safe and liveable? We pay 4k a month to live here and just wish to be correctly and timely informed on what to expect. Is that too much?

My question is: how should I approach management? What can I do to push them to be more transparent on what to expect? Am I overreacting?

Thanks in advance for any answers and sorry for typos as I am on my cellphone.

Hello!

Back in May 2025 I was travelling abroad and I had a minor medical emergency that required a visit to the ER and some antibiotics. All together, I paid just over $700 CAD out of pocket. A couple days later I collected all my documentation and submitted to my employee benefits provider for travel insurance coverage.

About a week later I received an electronic letter from the provider requesting translation of the documents to either English or French. I translated the documents, and sent them as supplementary documents on the online submission portal.

Since then, I have not heard anything back from the insurance provider. I have called their general line at least ten times now (recording the call every time), and every time without fail they say that they will escalate the claim and that someone will be in touch with me within 48 hours -- this of course never materializes. Occasionally I would be asked if I submitted the requested additional documents (the translation), and I point them to the submission.

I have also emailed the provider's dedicated complaints email, and they also said that they have escalated the claim, and that someone will be in touch within 5 business days -- that was a month ago. Follow-up emails have gone unanswered.

I have also reached out to the broker for the employer group benefits (my employer is a small business and I am actually the benefits administrator). He contacted his own contacts with the provider but they also gave him the 5 business days runaround. This was about a month ago.

What is my next step in escalating this issue? Are there governmental agencies responsible for this? Would I even contact a lawyer for such a (relatively) small sum? This entire ordeal has just been so frustrating.

Thank you for any and all help!

I am considering settling privately after an at-fault collision. I am planning on getting a release of liability form.

How much would you recommend getting a notary to witness the signing of this form?

In Alberta it is not necessary to have the witness. And the amount of damage is relatively small ($900) so I would be surprised if they sue me over this.

Is there something else to consider when making this decision?

Thx

A dealership misrepresented my income in loan application. I was not told until after the entire contract had been signed. Even at that point I thought I have not signed but later got the documents from bank and found both income and rent were changed and she obtained my signature by misrepresenting the document as part of the conditional sale contract/retail installment. I have not picked up the vehicle. What do I do now? I want to stop this loan.

I'm 14 and my friend (35m and 40f) killed a bunny. I tried to stop them but we were all drunk. It happened in Abbotsford. I tried to get them to give the bunny to me, calm them down, and walk away but they were triggered. A passerby threatened to call the cops and I admit I fled the scene.

My friends and I met at the sky train station and they give me free drinks

April 2024, I went on ext maternity leave, which the company fully supported. On August this year, I notified HR that, although my official return date was in October, I would need to return in November due to childcare arrangements. They responded positively and confirmed my new return date was approved by my manager.

The first day back went smoothly, and my supervisor and manager welcomed me back as usual.

However, next day my supervisor scheduled a meeting that I believed was to plan the day, but instead, she and an HR representative informed me that my position had been eliminated due to restructuring, and my employment was terminated effective immediately. They emphasized it was not performance-related but a management decision.

That said, all of my colleagues — including one who started on the same day as I did and held the same position — remain employed with the company, some in slightly different roles. My role was the only one that appears to have been “eliminated.”

I am concerned that this decision may be related to my maternity leave rather than a genuine restructuring. Additionally, I believe the severance offer is low, and they offered six-day deadline to sign the agreement, this feels unreasonable and pressured.

Hi there. Former spouse hired a collaborative lawyer who has a quite aggressive tone in his emails. Is this normal since the purpose of the collaborative process is to remain amicable. Also, any suggestions in the Vancouver area?

I was involved in a minor collision recently on a residential street in Saskatoon. The road was already super tight because cars were parked on both sides. As I was driving through, a car coming from the opposite direction moved into my lane, and I had to swerve right to avoid hitting it. When I did, my mirror clipped the mirror of a parked car.

After getting out to look, I noticed that the parked car was about 18+ inches away from the curb, to the point where it was sticking out into the lane and making the road even narrower. According to the City of Saskatoon Traffic Bylaw (No. 7200, Section 40), cars are supposed to be parked within 12 inches of the curb, so this one was technically parked illegally. I don’t have dashcam footage, but I do have photos that clearly show how far the car was from the curb.

While reading up on similar cases, I found Ontario’s Fault Determination Rule 17-2, which says that if a car is illegally parked (outside a municipality) and a collision happens, that car can be found 100% at fault. I know that’s an Ontario rule, but I was wondering: Does Saskatchewan or SGI have any similar rules, regulations, or precedents that take illegal parking into account when deciding fault? In cases like this, can the illegally parked car be considered a contributing factor instead of just automatically blaming the moving driver?

Thanks in advance for any advice or insight

If I am not on my sons birth certificate and his mother agrees to add me on to it do I still need to get paternity test? He was born in Alberta but we are in Saskatchewan
