AI as your Lawyer. Given a number of recent interactions that I have had as a lawyer, I felt it important to discuss how far too many people are looking at AI as their lawyer, which has become increasingly prevalent based on my own recent discussions and research into the use of AI as one’s personal lawyer.

I was reminded about the importance of employees looking to scale back on their use of the company email for matters that are not directed at the business of their employers when reading the recent article in Toronto Life about the salacious tale of the fired RBC CFO and her co-worker (VP of Treasury). And the significance of not using company email relates to aspect of legitimate personal importance to employees, as covered in the appended video, and not simply about hiding an alleged affair with a co-worker, such that it is to one's personal and career advantage to move away from relying on the company email for everything.

In this new series, we endeavor to provide practical job-related tips from an employment lawyer with the objective of avoiding some of the more troublesome i...

Constructive dismissal, a challenging employment law concept for any impacted employee, and even more difficult to determine how to proceed when the conditions for construction dismissal arise in one's job. For even though the facts and the law might coincidence, so as to indicate that one's employer has constructively dismissed their employee, what exactly can that employee do in response without jeopardizing their financial security and that of their family. It is a work situation that demands appropriate thought and consideration, including consultation with knowledgeable professionals as to potential courses of action and employment strategies, so as identify the appropriate approach to one's unique employment situation.

Constructive Dismissal arises where an employer has not directly fired an employee, but instead (i) has failed to comply with the employment contract in a ma...

Is Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek going to properly investigate (with a transparent, accountable and time-sensitive process) or effectively bury the Calgary water main disaster’s root causes and possible political connections? It is important that we ask more substantive questions and demand that our politicians provide real transparency and disclosure, such that truly important information is put before the public, such that they might analyze it for themselves . We can be constrained by outdated systems that have enabled politicians in the past to effectively cover-up the truth, but instead need to press for politicians going forward to make better efforts to get the information before the public in a timely and proper manner.

With Calgary residents set to endure weeks, if not months, of water restrictions due to ever more damage being discovered in one of the city’s main water mai...

The federal government's move to increase the inclusion rate for purposes of calculating capital gains at first appeared like a serious tax grab, however, its impact would not appear to be as extensive as it would initially appear once you begin to actually calculate the numbers and the offsets, in particular the lifetime capital gains exemption and personal residence sales, as well as the income Canadian Entrepreneurs' Incentive, such that its focus would appear to set on truly high net earners and larger corporations, with the impact serving to offset the advantages that those taxpayers gain in tax planning, including their use of capital gains to reduce their effective tax rate.
