What's the point of probation?
The topic of this episode of Format Légal is the probationary period that follows the hiring of a new employee. During our discussion, we explore in greater detail the various legal aspects of this timeframe, often simply referred to as “probation,” as well as its purpose and limitations. Do employers really benefit from the probationary period? Is it subject to any laws or regulations? Are there boundaries that should not be overstepped?
These are the questions Montréal associate counsel Marc Ouellet will answer in this episode. Marc specializes in labour and employment law and is the co-author of Les Normes du travail (second edition), a detailed exploration of labour legislation in Québec.

    38:00 The lady from CMG raises good points, but in our September online AGM we found that the board and chair controlled much of the discussion as owners could not interface or understand one another. Many seniors had technical issues with the platform and their devices as many couldn't navigate their settings. This is not an inclusive strategy. Online voting also continues to be problematic in terms of secrecy and accountability as there are no appointed scrutineers. Online AGM's are self-serving for those conducting them, but not helpful for communities who are isolated and voiceless with the screen time focused on the board and meeting organisers. When we meet in person, there is engagement and in-person connections. Last month we left the meeting with a click of the mouse and still strangers to many owners. Time to reconsider who these electronic meetings benefit!

  • @evanstephens1124

    We had yet another online AGM in September. Virtual meetings: What a great tool to segregate the owners from a board and property managers!! Owners already struggle to interface with one another to build a community, but 3 years on, we continue to isolate owners behind their screens where the discussion and agenda is fully controlled by the board. The rights of home owners continue to deteriorate under the condo legislation, opening the doors to the few who control the funds and cling to their positions tooth and nail whilst owners wallow in jaded apathy and disgust.

    The US 7th Circuit Court ruled recently that age discrimination legal protections do NOT apply to older applicants--but rather only to current employees. And the US Supreme Court ruled to make it VERY hard to show ageism in a legal case. So at least in the US, ageism is alive and well--and supported by the courts.

    I just can't wait for below freezing winter driving, as often found World wide, when multiple hydrogen vehicles having driven before us spewing water exhaust droplets coating the roads with black ice for us to drive over and wreck our vehicles on ! Now that is safe ! This concept is just another, not so well thought out,"GREEN", idea that when applied into the real world to keep us safe from climate change does not keep us safe from injury or death when in vehicular accidents. A society operating many Hydrogen Vehicles that are spitting water on below freezing road or parking lot surfaces is not the answer ! So, where to put water. Maybe an onboard tank to freeze solid and burst when parked? At a stop sign or light idling then accelerating adding heavy icing right there to the road surface just where one wants to actually stop? A parking lot to slip and injure another walking by the back of your parked vehicle or after you drove off leaving water to freeze there? A roadside gutter so a pedestrian can slip stepping off a curb, maybe falling down flat in front of stopped traffic and out of view of drivers ? Your driveway so you can fall there ? Your Garage to slide across while holding your infant child then both hitting the hard floor? Maybe, you need more tasks or to be distracted by mopping up the garage floor before the water freezes and your groceries just purchased thaw? Maybe a high speed highway perhaps in a turn? Maybe the unlimited speed limit Autobahn with high water production by those higher electric energy demands moving the hydrogen vehicle through the air while simultaneously dumping large amounts of water mist contrails at high speed onto the road surface? Your Hydrogen Vehicle needs to relieve itself in public, The question is where to do it safely? Now considering these real world usage / interaction scenarios listed, are Hydrogen Vehicles a good idea? As a vehicle operator you can rate the chance of consistent, caring, and professional operator actions observed when you're out exercising your privilege to be with others in the public driving arena. Are you certain that rushed Hydrogen vehicle drivers find and maneuver over a public storm drain water dump station to let their hydrogen vehicle relieve itself in public places when freezing weather is happening? You rate and you decide if we or will not slip into a Hydrogen transportation based society. As for me...you guessed it, I see much more "could care less" vehicle drivers and very few careful vehicle drivers. Hydrogen supporters….should we give these "could care less" about you drivers a water soaker sprayer for society at large to walk or drive over when a dash indicator flashes an alert "water tank full" during your trip? As a example of related but current human behavior, How many times do you see trash / rubbish go swirling out of a moving pickup truck bed in the States, or dumped out a moving vehicle window instead of being caringly placed in a proper waste receptacle when arriving at one's destination, as an example of drivers' proper public disposal habits? Maybe add antifreeze to the water dump so it can mist on following vehicles windshields / windscreens then be smeared with wipers on so the trailing driver has no clear view of the road. Now that is safe ! Then more windshield solvent is added to the ground by constantly keeping a clear view. Now wipers turned on and off, as if that is not distracting to manage while driving in heavy traffic. Maybe many Hydrogen Fueled Vehicles can dump water, and antifreeze, smearing trailing vehicle's glass view 360 degrees, that is now spread everywhere in the environment. Now that is green, think ! Maybe the Hydrogen Vehicle owner after the cost of a fill up of Hydrogen decides to not pay for the extra cost of perpetually filling an auxiliary antifreeze reservoir that costs more than gas or petrol per gallon. So where is the transportation fuel savings when buying both Hydrogen and Antifreeze for the fuel cell's water as a by product tank? Maybe salt all the roads all the time when temperatures are below freezing, even on sunny winter days ! Now raising the P.H. in streams from water mixed with salt runoff 24/7/ all winter does not sound very Environmentally conscious or Green Think savvy. Maybe add traction grit like coal furnace electric generation plant cinders or mined beach sand from environmentally sensitive areas to the below freezing road's surfaces 24/7 all winter to combate black ice on road surfaces, filling the streams with sediment to clog fish gills when stirred into the water column later by heavy rains to follow in warm weather. Maybe the antifreeze adder system breaks or is disabled. Now the trailing driver is back to sliding on black ice in below freezing cold temperatures when Hydrogen is used in Vehicles as a transportation fuel spewing ONLY clean water onto the roads as the only by-product of its use.

    The irony is that the effectiveness and safety of the vaccines (or gene therapy as it's been characterized) are far from clear or assured. Could one challenge it under the concept of "Conscientious objection"? These vaccines should not be made mandatory under any circumstances until at least the manufacturers complete their clinical trials in 2022-23. Indeed, these moves are being down without official FDA approval as the vaccines have only been cleared for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). Seems like the appropriate and responsible thing to do especially considering people voluntarily opting to get the vaccine in high enough numbers. Are we also supposed to ignore the adverse events we're seeing from myocarditis in children to blood clots to deaths?
