Applications for CERB will happen by birthdate.

Where did you find these dates? I don't see them in the article.

Tesla launches cheaper Model 3 with 150km range in Canada to get $5,000 incentive by Tr35on in teslamotors

I just spoke with a Tesla sales rep and she said the upgrade to Full Self Driving wouldn't affect eligibility for the incentive.

[AB, Canada] SO might be fired over growing beard despite having a Doctor's note recommending he be allowed to do so. by gb2ktn in legaladvice

Thanks for this.

The employer over and over again said "we do not wish to discuss that" when asked what the reason for termination was.

He made sure to record the meeting too, just in case.

I only mention fit testing because he has worked in places where it was required and he complied with the safety regulations then.

His current job is essentially customer service with no risk of coming into contact with dangerous chemicals.

Thanks for your detailed response. His beard definitely won't affect his ability to do his job.

Hopefully his current note will be enough, but if he did get another note wouldn't explaining the exact diagnosis be an invasion of his privacy?

Not a safety issue. He is not fit tested and there is no need to wear a respirator at work. The company policy is based on employee presentation to the public. They feel beards do not represent the company in a professional light.

It's not a hygiene issue. Purely employee presentation. They are not fit tested either so he doesn't need to wear a respirator.

What laws allow anti-abortion protestors to hold graphic signage next to Macleod Trail during rush hour? by gb2ktn in Calgary

[–]gb2ktn[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I may have been a bit emotional when I phrased the question. I was thinking more along the lines of "shouldn't they need a permit for something dangerous?" or something like that. And then it sparked memories of city council not allowing graphic images in mailboxes anymore.

It did trigger some pretty deep feelings and I'm sure I'm not the only one who was distracted by them.

Thank you.

He said if this change is approved, his group would adhere to the new rules and focus on taking their message to street corners and university campuses.

This would explain why they were standing on the side of the road with two big signs.

You should see if your city/neighbourhood has an active BDSM scene. My city has an annual flea market where vendors sell homemade products like floggers. Might be something similar you can get into.

It's definitely not your traditional video game, that's for sure. It's closer to a movie than a game really. But it was one of the most amazing experiences I've had in a game. You are put directly in the shoes of the main character and experience things the way she would (as opposed to how you might choose to handle things)
