If you’ve ever wanted to record conversations at work secretly, you’re not alone. Many employees start looking into this when dealing with toxic management, discrimination, or workplace disputes and need solid proof. But there are some serious legal and ethical concerns before you press record. Is It Legal to Record Conversations at Work? The short answer: it depends. Laws around recording conversations vary depending on where you live. In the U.S., the biggest distinction is between one-party consent and two-party consent states. If you’re outside the U.S., the rules are different. In Canada, for example, you can generally record conversations…

If you’ve ever had to update your government ID, you know the process is rarely simple. Now imagine trying to get your ID to reflect who you are—when the system won’t give you an option that fits. That’s precisely what’s at stake in a case before the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal as an Ontario resident would consider it a win if Government ID Reflects Gender. An “X” on Ontario IDs: Fighting For Government ID Reflects Gender An Ontario resident has taken legal action, arguing that government ID should reflect gender beyond the traditional “M” or “F.” They’re pushing for the…

Email marketing is a game of trust. If people want out, they should be able to leave—no tricks, no hoops. However, Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) makes this more than just good manners. It’s the law. And if your unsubscribe function isn’t CASL compliant, you’re risking your business. There’s a lot of confusion around what counts as spam and what’s actually legal. So, we’re not just going to break down the rules—we’re diving into real case law to see if CASL actually gets enforced. (Spoiler: It does, and the fines can be brutal.) Being CASL Compliant: Details Around Unsubscribing? If you’re…

If your business deals with imports or exports, you need to understand the administrative monetary penalty system (AMPs). The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) uses this system to issue fines when companies break trade rules. These penalties aren’t just small fees—they can grow into significant financial setbacks if violations continue. CBSA designed the administrative monetary penalty system to encourage compliance. Instead of taking companies to court, they issue fines based on the severity of the infraction. While this system helps enforce trade laws, it also creates challenges for businesses that don’t fully understand CBSA’s regulations. What Is the Administrative Monetary…

For anyone following Montreal’s organized crime scene, the name Raynald Desjardins carries serious weight. He wasn’t just another mobster—he was a major player with deep connections to the Rizzuto crime family and the Hells Angels. When he pleaded guilty to conspiring to kill Salvatore Montagna in 2016, it marked the end of a long, bloody chapter in Quebec’s underworld. But now, after years behind bars, Desjardins is about to walk free. And that’s where things get complicated. Desjardins and Montagna: A Partnership That Turned Deadly In the early 2010s, Raynald Desjardins and Montagna had a common goal: to take over…

So, Ontario’s looking at paying corporate whistleblowers between $1 million and $5 million to reward those who speak out against corporate fraud. Seems like a pretty solid step in the right direction, right? Well, not everyone thinks so. A lot of experts are arguing that this amount just doesn’t cut it, especially when you take into account everything corporate whistleblowers faces when they come forward. It’s not just about the money, but the emotional and professional cost of exposing corruption. Why $5 Million Won’t Cover the Real Costs for Corporate Whistleblowers Whistleblowers take huge risks. They might lose their jobs,…

When Canada updated its Divorce Act in 2021, there was a lot of talk about how it would modernize family law and better protect children and victims of domestic abuse. And sure, the Divorce Act Amendments made some changes—like shifting the language from “custody” and “access” to “decision-making responsibility” and “parenting time.” But let’s be honest: vocabulary changes don’t fix the deeper issues. Family lawyers, parents, and advocacy groups have pointed out major gaps in the new system, and for good reason. 1. The 40% Rule is Still a Problem After The Divorce Act Amendments One of the most criticized…

There is a judge concerned about Canada’s “fascism.” This story talks about a G20 arrest that has been said to be a serious abuse of civil liberty. This article was posted on Reddit by u/dropasaurus to r/canada. The subject of civil liberty comes up frequently in Canada and the United States. There is always a trade-off between giving the public freedom to do what they want to do, and the need to protect our government and its processes. Some countries in the world (you know which ones) are very clear that the public does not have rights, and certainly not…

The accused should have the right to test credibility. A recent ruling just reinforced something critical in criminal law: the accused has the right to challenge the credibility of their accuser. This might sound obvious, but it’s not always guaranteed in practice. Courts have to balance fairness for both sides, sometimes limiting certain lines of questioning. However, when credibility is the key issue, restricting cross-examination can be the difference between a conviction and an acquittal. I’ve seen cases where a weak accusation crumbled the moment tough questions were asked. In one instance, a client faced a serious charge based on…
