While I like to think of myself as rebellious I dont think I'd ever submit an annual report in comic sans.

Doing the back to school shopping for the kids in Niagara. Thank you Urban Behaviour for not asking for a phone number or email address! I just want to shop...

Sanction. One of those fun words that can mean completely opposite things.

Only a 10 minute delay to get a live body at the #WSIB today.

Don't mind me, just on hold with the #WSIB. Estimated wait time 30 minutes ... we're up to 34 minutes.

I love these gallery notifications of pictures taken 5 years ago that are pictures from the grocery store and me asking my wife, "Is this the right one?" #shoppingnostalgia

Today's #WSIB comedy: Do Ask, Don't Care. So my client is getting approved treatment. The WSIB have a form they ask the healthcare professional to fill out. On the form is a question, "Can the worker return to work?" He answers "no". In fact does it on three forms over 6 months! 1/2

Losing my patience with #WSIB again. I get a call after filing an ARF asking me to explain my position. Did you read my letter? I ask. The CM says they're still required to call. When I'm asked if I had anything to add i said this new approach wastes everyone's time. 1/2

I know we're in hell in a hand basket territory but not one Happy Pi Day post from anyone I follow. Darkest timeline folks. Happy Pi Day to all who celebrate!

If your administrative body is not holding hearings over the holidays, maybe go the extra step and not require submissions from counsel during this period either.

Class trip today. Kids are better behaved than my day.

Today is a good day for an injured workers rally! Maybe we can do more than just gift employers #WSIB money.

I had time to do a very, very brief blog on this case. I am organizing a virtual education session about it in December. Stay tuned.

Some days fly by and some days are, "How is it not even 11?" Puppy photo for distraction purposes.

"Children's homework normalises working beyond agreed upon hours in employment." This is doing a number on me.

The delays at the HRTO are not unnoticed. Tribunal Watch Ontario put out the following statement. Those who practice in this area are encouraged to write to the Executive Chair, the AG, and the Premier about the impact on clients. tribunalwatch.ca/2024/the-hum...
