A number of migrant workers received 23,000!
In Canada, it is not uncommon for migrant workers to be treated unfairly and suddenly dismissed.
But more often than not, when the workers first arrived, they silently swallowed the bitter water.
In southwestern Nova Scotia, eight migrant workers from Mexico were suddenly "fired" and their wages were deducted. However, they did not choose to remain silent.
According to a recent decision issued by the Nova Scotia Labor Commission, Ocean Pride Fisheries Ltd., based in Lower wedgeport, must compensate the eight workers for their wages, lost hours work, and wages that should have been provided in lieu of a notice of dismissal, totaling more than $23,000 in damages.

At first, the eight workers filed their first complaint in September 2021.
Jasmine Walsh, chairman of the Nova Scotia Labour Council, said workers described many of the hardships they experienced while on the job, including injuries in the workplace and unfavourable working and living conditions. "These allegations are deplorable". There is a need to ensure that the standards of employment for vulnerable foreign workers who are temporarily in Canada are regulated. ”
The workers were previously employed by Ocean Pride, a company that harvests, processes and exports sea cucumbers. Their employment relationship ended in September 2021. According to the ruling, one of the key issues is the company's claim that the worker has resigned, when the worker was in fact outright dismissed without notice.
Through appeal, the workers were eventually compensated.
The Chinese mayor's conference room was exposed as a gym
Exercise bikes, dumbbells, and squat racks are common in gyms. Pete Fry, a Greens councillor, shared photos of such a gym online, but he pointed out that Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim recently converted one of the meeting rooms and another room at Vancouver City Hall into a gym and a dedicated facility for the mayor.
In response to the gym, Sim generously acknowledged that the facility did exist, and explained that the new arrangement was to ensure the mayor's health and privacy.

How did Philpid discover the gym? He explained that last Friday, when he went to the kitchenette near the conference room to get a drink, he found that the door of a conference room was unlocked, and he found that the space had been set up as a gym.
At Vancouver City Hall, all meeting rooms require a key card to open, and no one other than the mayor and their office team can enter or exit.
After the news spread, another city councillor, Christine Boyle, echoed Federd's attitude, pointing out that the mayor's office was annoying. At the same time, she asked the mayor's office to be more transparent in its finances.
Now, Mayor Sim Guan Jian has publicly responded by transforming the conference room into a gym so that he can stay focused and energetic in the midst of a tight work schedule, "health is of paramount importance." In addition, he hopes to move the space that was previously used to host dignitaries, delegations and community groups to a "more dignified environment".
