I just spent a week at Shouldice.. OHIP covered the operation and "public ward" stay.... It costs extra for a semi private room. Here's the thing.. Shouldice doesn't actually have a "public ward".. only semi private rooms. I did meet a couple guys that said they requested the 'public ward' and...

The wife handles the official charity giving... knight's table, sick kids, Sally Ann women/children shelter, etc.. I do "direct" donating... give out groceries, clothes, equipment, etc.. to homeless people.. things like that.

Sort of... It was a mediated settlement.. not a CIRB ruling.

Look into it.. but I think you'll find the turnover rate at Fedex is pretty high.

Are they delivering directly for CP? Where are they picking it up from? A CP sorting facility?

People are putting ads up on Marketplace... and making deliveries. https://www.cbc.ca/radio/costofliving/mail-strike-hustle-1.7403379

Purolator and Fedex are overwhelmed.. significant backlogs.. limiting what some customers can ship thru them... and turning away others. Same thing with some of the gig carriers.

level 1 is more common.. but level 2 and full backgrounds are standard at a lot of companies.

A lot of companies do the same.. it's standard practise.

The "gig" drivers.. get paid as independent contractors and are paid piece work.
