Simran Bakshi on Employment Law: What to do if you’re about to be Terminated?


If you think you're about to be terminated here are 6 things to keep in mind:

1. Keep very good notes of everything that is happening in the workplace.

2. if there are any key documents including your employment contract, warning letters, or other                communications from your employer, keep copies of them.

3. If you're calling to a termination meeting, keep any documents that may be given to you and                   simply say thank you will consider it.

4. Don't sign anything.

5. Speak with a lawyer if there has been a termination provision given to you. You could be entitled            to significantly more.

6. If your employer has given you an unreasonable deadline for response try to be respectful of it but         if you can't meet it don't worry about it, you're not employed with them anymore and they don't get         to give you these kinds of deadlines anymore.

Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: What is Probate?


When you name a person in your last will to be the Executor of your Estate, that person sometimes needs to also apply to the Court to be appointed formally as the legal representative of your Estate in order to deal with certain property that you own, potentially like a house or a bank account that solely in your name. 

The process of applying to Court to be appointed as the representative of your Estate is what we call Probate.

Simran Bakshi on Employment Law: What are my rights if I’m being discriminated against in my work place?


Human Rights legislation both in Ontario and nationally protects against discrimination in the workplace on various grounds. This includes age, disability, racial, ethnic, and religious right, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, and more.

Your employer is obligated at law to ensure that the workplace is free from any such discrimination. You can claim compensation that you have been discriminated against at the Ontario Human Rights tribunal, or in the case of federally regulated employees at the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal and also at the court. The good news for employees is that you have protection and you should speak with a lawyer to learn more.
