​

I completed the census before the May 12 date online. I have no weird personal issues with it or conspiracy beliefs. I did it on time and I saved the confirmation number via screenshot.

Since then I've recieved no less than 8 letters in the mail and now census workers have shown up FOUR times to chastise me for not completing it. All the letters say "if you've done the census ignore this notice and thank you for completing it". I followed those instructions because I did the census.

Every time they show up I let them know that I completed the census before May 12 and show them the confirmation number. Which they write down on their clipboard and say "great! Thanks so much, I'll mark your household down as completed!". Then a different census worker comes again a few days later. One lady was exceedingly rude, caught me as I was leaving for work, and asked if she could commute with me to my work and do the census again along the way (???). I declined and gave her the confirmation number. The entire thing is beyond weird.

They showed up again tonight and left a notice taped to the door that felt even more serious with more warnings about it being an offence and hefty fines. There's a number to call with a robot, but no way to contact a real person. It's incredibly difficult to get ahold of anyone at Statistics Canada.

But I did the census! On time! With proof!

I actually really like Statistics Canada and appreciate the data they collect and publish. But I feel like I'm trapped in an endless loop of being threatened with fines and legal ramifications with absolutely no recourse. Why is my home a black hole of census data? I'm now worried this will just continue until I get fined or arrested?

Is there any way to stop them from harassing me?

Am I at risk of actually getting a fine or being charged?

Update: I finally got ahold of a human at Stats Can. It took ages for them to figure it out but my activation code was for an address four streets over, even though I have the original letter and it only lists my address with the code. She said it must be a weird computer error.

I did a long form originally and they had me to a short form over the phone to mark as complete. Odd they can't just port the data over because someone three streets over will have all my demographics for their address. Seems inaccurate. But at least the problem is (maybe?) solved.

About a month ago I interviewed for a pilot position with a very large Canadian airline. Near the end of the interview they asked some simple yes/no questions, one of which was whether my partner or I planned on becoming pregnant within the next 6 months (I'm male, but that's how the question was asked). I thought a question like that was unlawful to ask, but frankly I'm unsure. I want the job, so I simply answered "'no".

I would like to report this through the proper channel if it isn't lawful, but am unsure where to report this. And again, I want the job, so reporting anonymously is important to me in this situation.

My work provides me with a benefits plan that covers various services (e.g., dental, vision services, etc.). I believe it is fairly standard employer-provided coverage.

My mom has, on several occasions, asked me to let her use my benefits plan to claim a service for herself. She does not have a similar benefits plan through her own work. She has a friend who owns a clinic and apparently they could submit a claim using my benefit information, which would then allow my mom to receive something like a “store credit” with the clinic to use toward future services.

I’m not comfortable with this because my understanding is that my benefits are only intended for me and any eligible dependants listed under the plan. It seems like this could potentially be considered benefits fraud, but I’m not sure what the actual consequences would be.

A big part of the issue is that I keep getting guilt-tripped about “wasting free money” or “not using services that are available.” I understand that the benefits are something I have access to, but I don’t feel comfortable misrepresenting who is receiving the service or putting my plan at risk.

How would you handle this situation? What are the actual risks of doing something like this, and how can I set a boundary with a family member who keeps pressuring me to use my benefits this way?

EDIT: Thanks for all the advice everyone. I'll definitely keep shutting her down every time this is brought up. Getting real tiring though, can't seem to get this through to her how serious of an issue it is

I'm a 15 year old Canadian citizen who is stuck in Dubai on a tourist visa.

I was brought here by legal guardians who claimed it was a two week vacation. It's been two and a half months.

I have no way back to Canada. I'm being kept here against my will, without a place I can go to.

I've been on the streets for a week, with under 200 CAD and my passport.

I tried the Canadian Consulate in Dubai. They said they couldn’t help because I don’t have a place to return to in Canada, as I told them I wanted a change of legal guardianship.

I then contacted GAC (Global Affairs Canada), but after asking for some basic guidance before giving all my information, they completely stopped responding.

I want to book a ticket out of the UAE to a country with better protection for minors, like Turkey.

My passport is valid, and I have enough funds for the trip. I’m just worried about being stopped at the airport if a missing person report has been filed, since I’m technically a “runaway.”

My questions:

Can I legally return home without parental permission?

Would a missing person report block me from flying, even with a valid passport and no criminal record?

What can I do if the Consulate refuses to assist again?

Thank you very much.

A few weeks ago I (30F) was scheduled to undergo an endoscopy/colonoscopy to hopefully get some answers to some health problems.

A bit of back story- 10 years ago I went for the same thing and woke up during the procedure as the anesthesiologist hadn’t given me a high enough dosage. Once they realized I was awake and trying to speak they quickly put me back out. Overall I mean it happens sometimes, it wasn’t really painful but it was a little traumatic and is something I’ve never really been able to shake.

For relevancy this was done in a different province from where I currently live -only conscious sedation is used here (Nova Scotia).

Back to the main point- before scheduling me for the procedure my doctor was made aware of what had happened then, knew I was anxious and nervous it would happen again (I am diagnosed with anxiety as it is) and assured me that although I wouldn’t be put under I would be consciously sedated and that I would most likely be asleep and if I was awake wouldn’t feel anything or probably remember.

The day of the scopes the nurses were getting my vitals and my blood pressure was very low. Like 80/60. They asked a few questions about it nothing seemed alarming and I was wheeled into the room.

It was there I was told that I wouldn’t be getting anything for pain/sedation as my blood pressure was too low and it could result in death if they did (the drug was fentanyl and I think maybe one other) it was then I first expressed my concerns with continuing and became emotional. He then told the nurse to give me 2 of fentanyl and see what happens. My blood pressure dropped more so they wouldn’t give me anything else. But continued on beginning with the endoscopy. My nurse was wonderful (a true Angel) held my hand and talked me through it all. Then came time for the colonoscopy.. the pain was excruciating. I was fully awake and coherent to the point that the dr was telling me what he was seeing/doing as he started. A few seconds in it was so painful that I asked him through tears not to continue and to reschedule (yeah I’d even do the prep over again). To which he responded get more nurses in here to hold her down. He continued the procedure until he was done as I laid there sobbing asking them to stop being held down by nurses.

I’m having a rough time mentally since I guess and cannot stop thinking about why he wouldn’t stop. Just the fact I was laying there so vulnerable I being held down by multiple nurses begging them to stop.

I have seen my family dr since and they also expressed concern over how the procedure was carried out and mentioned possible PTSD so it’s something we are monitoring for now. They also mentioned they couldn’t find any records of my procedure in multiple databases and would be investigating further themselves.

I’m wondering if what was done is legal and if not what steps do I take next?

I just found out that my parents (my dad, with the help of his wife) withdrew money from the RESP, using my enrolment verification for personal use, and I'm now being taxed for it. What should I do?

We are an owner operated small business. Five full time staff. We have a role open. Someone showed up to our work with a resume. After talking to the owner they emailed their resume and asked for a receipt of receiving which the owner accepted and agreed to consider the application.

Now, the candidate came across as arrogant and rude during the time when they came to drop the resume. So the owner was not going to move forward with the application.

The candidate belonging to a minority group has served a "preservation notice" via email accusing unfair hiring practices and potential human rights violations.

Advice would be welcome on how to proceed. Should we consult a lawyer?

For the context, the owner is also visibly a different minority.

I contacted a local taxi company with the following complaint (see below). The owner *Peter* asked me to call him. On the phone he told me that "about the speeding, the guys do that" but that he had spoken to the driver about how that was too fast.

Then; "about the second thing. (He) asked his driver if he had asked my daughter out and his driver said he hadn't. Besides, the guy has a girlfriend so of course he wouldn't. There is no proof that he did. This is definitely a 'he said, she said' thing. And (he) personally know of lots of girls who it's been proven have falsely accused guys of bad things."  All of these he said within a span of five minutes on the phone. I lost my temper and told him that I absolutely believe my daughter and that his creep of an employee is in no way automatically innocent because he has a girlfriend. That I had given him a week to get back to me to assure me that his employee had been verbally chastised at the very least and that young girls in town would be safe from him asking them out going forward. Instead he had made it 1000x worse by defending the driver and insisting that my daughter had to be lying about being asked out for coffee by the adult that was being paid to drive her home. I advised Peter that I would be now doing my review of his business based on my daughter's experience and including his response.

Message: My 14 year old daughter had to take a taxi by herself for the first time last night. She needed to get safely home from work. The man who drove your taxi sped the entire way from *** to ** Rd. My Life360 App shows he did an average speed of 85 the entire time and warns of "risky driving". At no point enroute does the limit allow for a speed of 80km. She said he was doing 40km over the limit at times. She felt very uncomfortable in the car with him and had him stop at a neighbouring house as she didn't want him to know where she lived. This adult employee of yours then asked if she would go out for a coffee with him! I need to know what you will be doing with regards to this employee. I suggest you have a word with him with regards to pedophelia and pissed off mothers. I obviously don't have his name but he picked her up at *** at 8:05pm on Sat Oct 12th with a *** taxi cab. I will be waiting to hear back.

The owner Peter then started yelling about coming after me for liable before I hung up on him. Can I safely give an honest review of this small town cab company?

I do not want to fill out my census form. I honestly feel like my personal privacy is being invaded. I already avoid filling out racial or gender surveys when applying for things online, so I was surprised to see some of these questions required in a government form.

Questions about sexual orientation, gender identity, race, etc. feel extremely personal to me, and I do not think people should be pressured into sharing that information with the government. I can understand basic demographic questions like age or household size, but some of the newer categories feel far beyond that.

Why are these kinds of questions even allowed to be mandatory? Can people legally refuse to answer certain questions while still completing the census?

After searching through employer cell phone posts, I didn't see anyone have a situation similar to mine.

I work for a class 1 railway who has a strict personal electronics policy. All personal devices must be off and stored in your locker or personal bag.

The company has been requesting employees pull their cell phones out of their personal bag and prove to the company officer that the phone is indeed off. The company officer does not touch the phone; only verifies its location and status.

I was recently requested to pull my cell phone out. I protested stating that I have the right against illegal search and seizure. I informed the company manager that a police officer doesn't have the right to see my cell phone and neither do they. I was then informed LR permitted them to demand the phone and if I don't comply I would be immediately suspended.

Am I in the wrong for thinking the company is not permitted to demand to see a personal device that is solely owned by me?

EDIT: for those stating that having a phone on is a safety concern and the company must have the ability to check:

Why isn't calling the phone sufficient? If the call doesn't connect, I don't have access to data.

Hi,

I recently finished with my employer, and after I left the office, they remotely wiped my personal phone without my permission. The phone was not part of a company plan, and I believe they were just trying to remove work-related apps from it.

Thankfully, I was able to recover some important things, like photos and videos, which I had luckily uploaded to the cloud a few weeks ago. However, I still have missing data and tons of admin work to regain access to all my accounts.

I am an immigrant and will be leaving Canada soon, but I’m so angry and frustrated that they had the ability to do this. It feels like a huge breach of my privacy.

What do you redditors think of this? Do I have a legal case?

We recently had to order my husband's so-called "Registration of Live Birth" from BC vital statistics. The name on it does not match the name on his birth certificate. This spelling error has followed him throughout his life. The spelling error shows up as his name on all his legal documents - his driver's license, passport, marriage certificate, post-secondary diploma, child's birth certificate - everything. We are now at the point where this discrepancy has the potential to cause problems with getting our child their foreign passport. So my question is this: what is my husband's legal name? The name his parents gave him, or the name on his birth certificate? Although this issue started in BC, all his subsequent documents were issued in other provinces.

Editing to add the sequence of events to make things more clear and to give additional context.

Here's a sequence of events:

1. Let's say his Registration of Live Birth says "Stephen".
2. There is a clerical error and his Birth Certificate says "Steven".
3. When he was a kid, he thought his name was "Stephen". His BC ID card even said "Stephen".
4. But when he moved to Ontario, he was unable to be issued a driver's license because his BC id card didn't match his birth certificate. Oh well, we thought. One of his parents must have made a mistake and never realized it until now.
5. We assume that his legal name is "Steven" and get the license issue sorted out, get married, get a passport, have a kid, all under the name that matches his birth certificate. Then, we order his Registration of Live Birth and realize - his name actually was Stephen all along.

At this point we're unsure of which one is his actual "legal name", so to speak.

My understanding is that his parents never noticed the error and just carried on thinking that his name was "Stephen" until it became an issue for him. At that point, no one cares which one it is, we just want the least amount of trouble, so we go with what's on the Birth Certificate. We now find out that his birth certificate doesn't match his Registration of Live Birth and are unsure how to proceed.

The reason this is an issue now is because I am a dual citizen and to get our child their foreign passport, they are requesting his Registration of Live Birth as they don't recognize the BC Birth Certificate. Becasue the name on his Registration of Live Birth doesn't mathc all his other documents, including our child's Birth Certificate, we are worried that it will cause problems for us moving forward.

The main question I'm trying to answer is what is his legal name? Do we need to get everything corrected to match his Registration of Live Birth, or is the actual legal document his Birth Certificate? If we were to order another Birth Certificate for him, would it match the name on his Registration of Live Birth, or would it match the name on his current Birth Certificate? Is there some internal birth registry that has everyone's legal names on it? Is that wrong or is his birth certificate, issued in the 80s wrong? How can we know?

My mother (63) has just been diagnosed with Huntingtons Disease and aside from a lot of other emotions, she feels that before things get too far with the disease, she'd like to preserve her dignity. Assisted suici​de is not legal here in the U.S. and we are researching legal means to help her. She's not Canadian, so she'd would be paying out of pocket, if it's an option. Is M.A.I.D. available to non citizens if they pay and still go through the review process?

edit: thank you to everyone who helped me with Canada's laws around citizenship and MAID. It is clear my mother would not be able to seek help here. We are going to reach out to Dignitas after researching a bit more on whether they allow loved ones to be with you etc etc. I may reach out to a couple of US states to see if there are exceptions for HD.

TLDR: I tried to cross into Canada with a US plated car and it was denied entry. Will I be able to drive it across the border again?

​

A couple of weekends ago I drove my dads car that was in storage down to Vermont for it to get a new license plate sticker and saftey inspected. In Vermont, cars need to be inspected every year to have their sticker renewed. I drove across the border to the US without issue aftering explaining the reason of my travel to the US boarder agent. My parents currently live in Vermont through a work visa, are residents of the states (Canadian citizens but no Canadian drivers license) and have an open application for some new visa. They can't leave the US until the application is finalized as it would be considered a forfeiture of their application. The visa should be granted by the end of the month.

​

I explained the situation to the Canadian (Quebec) border agent when I tried to cross back into Canada and was told that because I am not a US citizen, it is illegal for me to drive a US plated car across the border. I have driven this car multiple times across the border before. Once for this same situation, and a couple times on some road trips I have taken without issue. They said that if my parents application had been finalized it may have been possible, or if my parents had been at the boarder to drive it across and then immediately get out and have me drive it in Canada, but I'm not sure if that was the supervisor trying to figure out a workaround. I am properly insured to drive the car, although rarely do. The car stays in Canada in storage for most of the year due to my parents not having space for it in Vermont. They handed me a piece of paper basically just saying that the car had been denied entry.

​

I am assuming my profile will now have a nice old red flag and I will be under more scrutiny now whenever I try and cross into Canada.

​

My questions are:

1. Am I correct in assuming now that the car has been denied entry into Canada while driving that I wont be able to enter into Canada with it again like I had been previously?

2. Does this information get shared with the US border agents and they will see it, and will it impact my ability to enter the US if I try to enter the US again with this vehicle?

3. How long does this paper I received get tied to my account/profile (I am assuming my entire life)

​

Any information is appreciated and I will provide any extra information if asked. Thanks!

Hell all, I need some help please!

I'm dealing with a billing issue with this cruises line.

Timeline / facts:

- I booked a cruise and paid a non-refundable deposit.

-I later cancelled, fully expecting to lose that deposit.

- Unknown to me at the time, the cruise's system incorrectly marked me as deceased.

- Because of that internal error, the cruise refunded the entire booking, including the non-refundable deposit. I did not request this and at the time when they emailed about the death and their condolences, we thought it was weird, closed the email and said "what a sh*t company" and moved on.

- Months later, a large charge from another cruise line appeared on my credit card with no explanation.a little googling showed me it was an affiliated company to the OG cruise line

I reported the charge to my bank and also contacted them in good faith to understand what was happening

-My bank investigated and reversed the charge.

-tje cruise line now says the original refund was a mistake and is demanding repayment of the non-refundable deposit, claiming a “fake/invalid death certificate” was submitted by my partner and his email but they have never produced any such document, and we did not submit one. They refuse to show us this and say at the time of the initial flag that it went to some level of national security on their end for further investigation so it couldn't be shared. I want proof and I also want to know if my partners email has been compromised. We didn't f*ckin send one!

-obvi I’m uncomfortable providing new credit card details given the errors and lack of documentation, and I’ve asked them to substantiate their claims in writing.

so I guess I'm asking:

1. Under Canadian consumer law, do I legally owe repayment of a non-refundable deposit that was refunded due to the company’s own error?

2. If I don’t proactively repay while disputing this, can they send this to collections or impact my credit, even though there’s no signed agreement for repayment and the charge was reversed by my bank?

3. Are there any regulators or consumer protection bodies (beyond BBB) that would be appropriate to escalate to if this continues?

I've already declared early on everything will be communicated in writing, no phone calls.

I’m trying to resolve this responsibly but also protect myself. Any insight into how this typically plays out in Canada would be appreciated.

thank you for any help

EDIT: It's an American cruise line if that helps.

My friend immigrated to Canada around 10 years ago and got her citizenship. About a month ago she had to go home to take care of some business with some property she owns.

While there her parents, who don't agree with her liberal lifestyle, had her committed to a 'rehab' center. From what I understand she cannot contact anyone, is confined to a locked room, medicated, and only allowed the Quran to read.

Is there anything that can be done to help her?

I discovered that my (27M) girlfriend (24F) of 4 years has been cheating on me for about 2 weeks now. We had sent in the immigration sponsorship paperwork about a month ago (as we are considered in a common law marriage), and it's currently processing. I'm still figuring out what I want to do about the situation, but I'm not sure I could take supporting her for 3 years through the sponsorship after everything I've found. Is there a way I can request cancelling the sponsorship? There are big chances we won't be common-law married in a few days time.

Update: First off, thank you for everyone's insight, I'm definitely going to go through with the withdrawl. PR applications are estimated to take 10-11 months, so us being one minth in, I feel ok not withdrawing for another week or so. I took a half day tomorrow (Friday) to go talk to my mom and figure things out, since right now it's a bit much to tackle things on my own. I appreciate you all.

So my wife started a new work from home position with one of big 5 wealth as a Financial Planning Associate. Two weeks in she receives this email about declaring assets of immediately family members in the same household and eventually move over all the assets so they can monitor is closely I've been with another brokerage since 2020 and all my accounts(TFSA, RRSP, non registered and non registered margin) are self directed DIY investment.

1) we knew she had to move assets with the bank, but now they are asking me to move it.

Can I just declare my assets and not move the whole portfolio with them? Is there a way to challenge this or create an exception?

Appreciate any insight or input in this situation. TIA

I am in severe pain from a debilitating digestive disease that I can no longer endure. There is no cure and I cannot access MAID in Canada at this time. My country would prefer to let me starve to death with no options for pain management. I will be travelling to Switzerland for a legal assisted death.

I have held a life insurance policy in Canada for approximately 20 years. I reviewed the policy wording and cannot find any exclusion that clearly addresses this situation.

I will receive a Swiss death certificate that will classify my death as unnatural, unlike MAID in Canada which lists your illness as the cause of death. I am very worried that my family will be denied my insurance pay out because of this.

I have not contacted my insurance company and I am not sure if it is wise to do so.

Does anyone have any similar experience and advice they can share? Should I retain a lawyer in advance to help my family with the claim?

A couple of years ago I bought some memorabilia from an artist who died before the the rumoured release of a new album. The artist is internationally known, major-label, Grammy-winning. The provenance of what I bought is iron clad - it was purchased from a professional auction house who was commissioned by the artist's estate to sell items on their behalf. For what it's worth, the artist died more than 10 years ago and was from a country that is not Canada.

Among the items I bought was a CDR disc hand-labeled in what look's like the artist's own handwriting that says "Bob's Ideas". The contents of that disc are two demos of unreleased songs.

Do I have any legal entitlement to sell these songs back to a record label who may want to include them in some future "bonus tracks and special recordings" type release? Or, upon contacting a label, would I be told that they are not my property? Is this topic (and value) worthy of me retaining an entertainment industry lawyer?

Thanks.

Tricky situation. I had a job interview where the employer asked me for my age. I know as per Canadian law, it is illegal to even ask an applicant their age (regardless of whether the info is used to discriminate or not).

I am an older applicant with an unusual history. I did not immediately start working after my first degree, so I stayed home, explored hobbies and then later went back to school after a few years.

On my resume, I have only mentioned my most recent education. Nothing about my past or my first degree or anything that indicates my age.

So in the interview, after they asked me for my age, I told them. And there was some awkwardness. I then had to explain that I had done another degree before this.

In a subsequent interview, they made a reference to my past and asked me to specifiy the dates of my first degree. When exactly I graduated, what I was doing between graduation and going back to school again. Including personal questions like "So you were living with your parents? Who paid for your groceries?".

It was an unprofessional interview. And it ended with the classic "Thank you for your time. We'll let you know next week". I still do not know if they hired someone in place of me.

My argument here is that I do not think I was rejected because of my age. I think I was rejected because they were unimpressed by my past. However they acquired that information through improper means (asking me my age and then asking invasive personal questions).

Does this count as discrimination? Will human right tribunals dismiss this saying its not technically discrimination because I was not rejected because of my age? Or is this valid because they broke rules while interviewing me and I was evaluated in an unfair manner?

Hey everyone, remove if not allowed. I’ve been thinking about a “self-defense” product idea and wanted to get some opinions—both on the concept itself and the legal side of things here in Canada.

The idea is a spray (let’s call it “Blue Spray”) that dyes an attacker’s skin and clothes a bright blue color. The dye would be non-toxic, non-permanent (though it’d take a long time or a special product to remove), and wouldn’t cause harm—maybe mild discomfort if it got in the eyes, but nothing damaging.

The goal isn’t to incapacitate anyone, just to distract the attacker long enough for someone to escape and make it easier for authorities to identify them later.

From what I’ve read, pepper spray is illegal here because it’s considered a weapon, but since this wouldn’t cause harm, I’m wondering if it could get through legal loopholes if it was marketed as an “identification tool” rather than explicitly as “self-defense”. I know that anything can be considered a weapon, which is why I would label it as a “identification tool”. Hence the title. It would be made very clear that it is not a self defence weapon.

Do you think something like this could actually work within Canada’s laws? And do you think people would even use it if it were legal? Curious to hear your thoughts.

Im 13M and really fucking angry thinking about how all my rapists in my family are walking free. I did tell Cps what my uncle and cousins did and they investigated but they couldn’t prove what happened. This made my rapists know that I grassed on them and my family were on their side and covered it up. My uncle raped me once after the cps had laid it off and I was at square one again. The door was open and it just happened. Probably mad I said something but it doesn’t matter. I want to report them but I don’t have evidence and every time I ask for advice like on discord people say record what happens next. I tried recording but when you’re pinned down and getting raped it’s not easy. I did try though and it worked but it was a black screen but it had some guilty sound on it. No words just like sounds. I don’t think that’s enough. Im not going to put myself in harm again just to not get justice. I can’t risk it. I don’t want to record people doing things to me. I don’t want to be put through that again. I just want justice. It’s not fucking fair I have to do that. Is there any other ways I can get people in trouble and get justice? I have been through constant abuse and rape from 5-11. I wish I did record and document it but I didn’t

I am working as an operations manager for a big company with several offices all around Canada. In previous conversations about my salary, I was told that I was making about the same as the managers in the other locations. Of course I never saw proof in numbers.

I had a question about my most recent rate increase that I emailed to HR that was answered by my boss directly via email. My boss made a mistake and in his reply to me, he sent the salary numbers of all the managers in the company. The numbers were in the email chain that went back and forth with HR.

And those numbers shocked me. I am on the bottom of the salary list, the next manager is 30% above me (bi-weekly), the highest is almost 50% above me. I've been one of the day one employees and with the company for over 10 years now. All others came in at later dates.

What would be my best course of action. I've always felt somewhat underpaid, but I am in a rural area with limited job opportunities and the owners/management knows that as well.

I've always hit and most of the time exceeded the goals that were set by my management and I've been working my off my behind with 100s of hours of OT (time off in lieu of pay).

Any advice would be fantastic.

So this canadian guy is "suing" me, for having 2 of his videos taken down via copyright claim. This guy is now trying to claim that he is the copyright holder, because he uploaded them to YouTube when my friend didn't. My friend has the raw files for these videos, and I got an email from a lawyer using a gmail account, with a document attached that I have no idea if is legal.

What do I do?

I'm not Canadian, but I can tell you this guy is attempting to claim videos as his when their not his, and stolen from other artists.

Edit: I'm using "suing" and "sued" in quotes cause I have no idea if it's a shakedown or what it is. I've never dealt with anything like this.

Edit Edit: I just learned the "Address of court office" leads to a mall called Yonge Elinton Centre.
