@Dave_Eby Not for nothing: sedition, not treason. "Every one shall be presumed to have a seditious intention who teaches or advocates the use, without the authority of law, of force as a means of accomplishing a governmental change within Canada." #cdnlaw
@lraitt Sub 18(3) of the same Act: if no Mini Labour appt, the Mini of ESDC is the Minister. A secretary of state may then be delegated responsibilities for the labour portfolio.
@lraitt 1/2 Super sincere answer because this is an interesting question about how govt works. The responsibilities of a minister, in this case labour, can be assigned by regulation under various enabling acts to a minister. Section 18(1) of the ESDC Act: Mini Labour MAY be appt.
The effect of @CosmoLexLegal's extremely slow response times is to leave my firm without a credit payment processor. We cannot collect payments from some clients.
The way this has been handled is unacceptable.
Small firms: consider software other than Cosmo. 2/2

As a small firm owner, I am having serious doubts about @CosmoLexLegal these days.
After requesting a change to my credit card payment processor over two weeks ago, @CosmoLexLegal's support staff have consistently failed to make the switch.

This situation is awful for all parties.
Parties can and should resort to #arbitration, where their means allow for the appointment of an arbitrator, in order to avoid these kinds of delays.

Transport Canada has to take much greater care when evaluating pilots' medical fitness. We have filed a claim to address this long-standing issue in #aviation medicine. Canadian #pilots should share their experiences.

Judges can start referring routine / uncomplicated cases to #arbitration. And @RebeccaJaremko and I are happy to accept appointments as arbitrators from judges or the parties themselves. #a2j#onlaw

Grace J. laments "too often ignored" scheduling sub-rule: "Complaints by lawyers about the civil justice system in Ontario are plentiful and justified. However, a good many should look inward...Complacency is the most gentle descriptor I can find" https://t.co/fOOx17ZRXq
@KadeyBJSchultz@AirCanada You seem to already have a handle on the law and policy related to this issue. If you'd like an extra set of hands for a CTA application or a CHRT claim against Air Canada, I am happy to help.
Biden: Ottawa overnight?
Advisor: Obama reports good cookies there, sir.
Biden: Swell, but I’m more of a train guy
Advisor: *nervous*
Biden: Do they have a train there?
Advisor: *sweating*
Biden: Maybe a light rail I could ride or something?
Advisor: *faints*
@ericsherkin@CEcclestone42 Nothing stops an arbitrator from publishing her or his decisions. That's all jurisprudence is--published decisions. We see it with labour arbitrators; their is a great body of jurisprudence.
@CEcclestone42@ericsherkin The time spent waiting for that $0.00 hearing is so long that many litigants should just move on with their lives instead of paying counsel. If litigating in supt. crt., arbitrating procedural motions moves matters along. No one does this, so arbs need to create a fee structure.
