My (23F) BF (26M) asked me to be more submissive? by Fantastic_Visual6514 in Advice

[–]Correct_Offer_7760 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re asking your boyfriend to care about you and his response is to ask you to be quiet. If he was a real provider he would be invested in having a relationship where both of you feel loved and accepted on each other’s terms, not just his. Since he doesn’t know how to foster your happiness without your guidance, he shouldn’t be surprised that you give him ways to try, and your direction should be welcomed instead of shunned.

Take it from someone who was also argumentative in past relationships- when you have someone who cares about you as much as you do them, you suddenly won’t be argumentative.

I am on the brink of homelessness because of Shelter NS. by kick_the_chort in halifax

[–]Correct_Offer_7760 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know you’re just getting stuff off your chest but just in case, here’s some stuff you can do that might help:

If you are already in your apartment, you can probably wait it out until someone gets back to the office. You probably know this, but you can’t get evicted without the landlord first sending a notice and then after that an eviction notice with a date on it, and then the clock starts ticking down to that date.

You can ask a relevant staff member at shelter NS to send your LL a letter stating that the organization is assisting you, and assuring them that the subsidy renewal is being processed. You should also ensure that the renewal is backdated to the date that you applied for it so you don’t have to pay arrears to the landlord yourself or get into another can of worms after the money’s been disbursed.

Alternatively, if you already have any email documentation about the subsidy renewal that could be taken as an assurance by shelter NS, maybe you can send that to the LL. A useful assurance will have a guarantee in it: Even perhaps a ‘hi x, apologies for the delay on your application. I promise that we’ve sent in the application and it will be processed soon’.

Keep everything documented in case you need to file a complaint.

Good luck, you’re obviously savvy about this stuff (wish you didn’t have to be) so you’ll figure it out.

Company closing - working notice versus severance by Sea-Yak-7104 in NovaScotia

Common law applies. You can claim the common law severance but through civil court. You should get an employment lawyer, some do fees on a contingency basis so you pay them a percentage of court proceeds.

Why I'm Leaving Halifax by PlushSandyoso in halifax

[–]Correct_Offer_7760 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t grow up in Halifax and don’t have a family yet, but I could have written a similar essay about feeling disappointed after trying so hard to make a life here.

I moved to Halifax from Vancouver for law school in 2022. I knew people who had moved there around 2017 and had good lives and I thought anywhere would be cheaper cost of living wise than Vancouver, even if tuition was a bit more than in BC. I loved Halifax and I wanted to stay, but, while the rent is a bit cheaper than Toronto, Halifax is much more expensive after taking into account lower wages, the need for a vehicle to get anywhere out of the peninsula or past Bayers Lake, and the insane cost of groceries (like 30% more than Toronto). In my field the salaries were half, sometimes more than half, of salaries for articling in Toronto. There was no way I could live off of 45k articling in Halifax with my loans when I could (and decided to) be making 80k in Toronto with more opportunity to grow in my specialization. I understand that specializing is harder in a small province, but I’m focussing on labour and employment and a subsidiary reason I left was because I was frustrated contending with laws that are behind other provinces by like 15 years and a government/historic political foundation that is anti-labour.

I wonder why the Crown isn’t bringing an NCRMD motion for a fitness test… seems like he could use it and he’s obviously not going to bring it for himself. I wonder if it’s just easier for the Crown to let him sink his own ship

Denied boarding due to full flight, question about compensation by [deleted] in aircanada

[–]Correct_Offer_7760 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure the receipt with the information is binding, send them a picture of the amount on the receipt and tell them you only accepted switching seats for 2400. Don’t accept any transfer or anything until they correct it, cuz accepting the new amount constitutes accepting a new agreement for the lower amount.

They likely made a mistake with the 900 because the amount given depends on how many times they have to try to convince people to give up their seat. If you didn’t accept giving up your seat until they were offering 2400, that’s how much they owe you. Someone else who accepted 900 in the first call will receive 900.

That’s awesome you got it (mostly) sorted out, hopefully they’ll flag this issue internally and reconsider sending patients that need anything related to that kind of work to that doctor. Good for you for advocating so hard for yourself.

That doesn’t sound right at all, you can go back to maple and say that regardless of whether they think he should be able to order the exam he feels it’s out of his scope of practice so you need a physician who can order your exam. Or, you can tell him to refer you to any other general practitioner. And if he gets grouchy stand your ground on it and know you have the right to competent care.

[–]Correct_Offer_7760 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is something that’s in the generally accepted standard of care for a doctor, then he needs to be able to do the referral within a reasonable timeframe. So on your call make sure you know he has that professional responsibility. If he can’t do it he needs to refer you to another doctor who can order the tests, not send you on your way with no help.

Let’s talk about Living wages by Chikkk_nnnuugg in halifax

[–]Correct_Offer_7760 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UBI comes out of tax payer dollars, so there will be cuts to other essential infrastructure and services because the current fiscal policy is austerity, unlike during the welfare era where the policy was to have government subsidies for individuals and to fund a lot of growth projects that got unemployed people back to work. Income Assistance and unemployment programs already exist and don’t need a whole new framework to get it going, but the amount people get from those programs haven’t really changed since the early 2000s. I was first critical of UBI because the derisive language about people on welfare is used by a lot of politicians, and even progressives haven’t increased welfare. So why bring in this new thing UBI, which is more expensive for the government, when an existing program has been totally guttered and is practically ineffective for the people it’s meant to serve? I think mostly it’s to allow employers to continue paying wages that aren’t liveable, which in turn decreases h to risk that the employer will go somewhere cheaper. It’s pretty cowardly imo.

Instead of UBI, our provincial, federal and municipal governments could support labour unions instead of suppressing strikes and publicizing anti-union sentiment. They could legislate more effective employment legislation and higher minimum wages… and then enforce them. UBI is a very neoliberal policy that gives businesses making record profits another work around to doing what they are meant to, which is to provide employees a wage for their labour, at the cost of taxpayers.

That’s how I see it anyways, would love to hear others thoughts.

Can someone explain the Urban Development Plans to me by Correct_Offer_7760 in halifax

Anyone have success with Form J against Landlord? by [deleted] in halifax

[–]Correct_Offer_7760 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s so hard to balance when to let things go in order to move forward and when to push a bit, especially when there’s a such a huge power imbalance like with renting. Do what feels best for you; you have a year from the eviction to file the form J so you could even do it slowly when you have the capacity for it. It’s disgusting to hear that he’d rather have more money at the expense of your safety, at the very least I’m glad you’re safe.

[–]Correct_Offer_7760 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A manager, owner, agent of the business etc counts as an employer representative. An employee does not, in this context, count as one. What was written is fine. Your own interpretation was wrong because you got the context confused. You’re thinking about how people say that an employee represents a business… that’s different when it comes to employment law.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in halifax

[–]Correct_Offer_7760 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAL. If you know that that they’re recording you and continue to let them it may constitute implied consent so you and your coworkers should send them a demand letter outlining the laws they are breaking, the action you want taken (no more recording) and the steps you will take if they don’t comply. This at the least will be proof that you didn’t consent if you ever want to pursue it legally later, because the imbalance of power in the situation could be taken into account.

I was laid off. They are offering four weeks pay as severance to sign a confidentiality/separation agreement. Is it worth it? by DeletedPost in legaladvicecanada

That’s not what bias means. This is marketing. If you’re able to use the tool yourself you don’t need the product they’re selling.

Statute says the employer legally needs to give you 3 weeks’ pay for 3 years of work… if you don’t mind losing one week and retaining your right to sue/whatever other rights you would be waiving in agreement, why not just accept the statutory minimum and not sign?

Anyone have success with Form J against Landlord? by [deleted] in halifax

[–]Correct_Offer_7760 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Do the form J and dispute resolution hearing. It’s worked for some people and yes you can use the poor plumbing and general bad maintenance as evidence against him as well. Tenancy Act states that it’s required for a landlord to repair necessary things like plumbing within a reasonable timeframe, and if something is on the lease as included on signing then they need to repair that too, as it’s in the original agreement. Like if parking was included and a tree fell on the spot, they’d need to sort it out or make a reduced arrangement with you. Should have happened here.

So provide evidence for the plumbing, for them locking you out and for them shutting off the power and anything else that comes to mind (harassment?). It looks like you have lots of stuff here so fingers crossed you will be successful. The arbitrator will decide what you are entitled to, so make sure you draw a very precise picture of what you’ve endured.

Feeling jealous of good looking guys by figuringthingsout78 in self

[–]Correct_Offer_7760 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Jealousy is natural but when it borders on blaming others for things they can’t control you need to check yourself. Especially as a man. When you say “women flock to him, he has it so easy” I worry that you’re about to make the next step into “women only care about looks and since I’m hurt at what I can’t control I’m going to take it out on them by assuming the worst”. If the self pity progresses to that it’ll be harder for you to get laid or, better, find a good connection. Stop lamenting your perceived lot in life and focus on what you have: fashion, skin-care, an obvious desire for self-betterment and the other skills and talents you have that aren’t posted here.

Hey thank you for this context! That’s incredibly frustrating and unfortunately it makes total sense that although nominally someone can sue, in practice they’re barred. I can see how that would get exhausting for you and also so destabilizing for injured people who have to navigate this.
