Top 10 Developments in Canadian Employment and Labour Law in 2019

Top 10 Developments in Canadian Employment and Labour Law in 2019
By  Simon Reis, Sarah Rohmann, Catherine Gagné and Lindsey Knibbs
January 13, 2020

2019 brought a number of significant developments to employment and labour law in Canada. We have collected and briefly highlighted our picks, in no particular order, for the top 10 developments from across the country.

1. Arbitration Clauses in Employment Contracts
2. No Tort of Harassment In Ontario
3. Courts Continue to Grapple with Termination Clauses
4. Most Provinces Increase the Minimum Wage
5. Amendments to the Canada Labour Code
6. Important Developments in Alberta
7. Legislative Changes in Quebec
8. Pro Rata Bonus Damages
9. Court Recognizes Distinction Between Shareholder Rights and Common Law Wrongful Dismissal Rights
10. Barring Claims for Constructive Dismissal Arising from Mental Distress

Kicking off our list is the Ontario Court of Appeal’s (Court of Appeal) first decision of 2019: Heller v. Uber Technologies Inc., 2019 ONCA 1.

In this proposed class action, the central claim is that Uber drivers are “employees,” not independent contractors, and are entitled to the rights established under Ontario’s Employment Standards Act, 2000. Before determining that claim, however, the issue before the Court of Appeal was the enforceability of an arbitration clause contained in a services agreement between Uber and its drivers. That clause required the parties to litigate their dispute in the Netherlands. The Court of Appeal found that the arbitration clause was invalid and unenforceable because it sought to “contract out” of the Employment Standards Act, 2000 and, furthermore, was unconscionable.

The Supreme Court of Canada (Supreme Court) heard Uber’s appeal of this case in November 2019 and a decision is pending. We expect that the Supreme Court’s decision will have implications on the enforceability of arbitration clauses in employment contracts going forward, and potentially wider implications for those businesses in the “gig” economy space.

In Merrifield v. Canada (Attorney General), 2019 ONCA 205, the Court of Appeal confirmed that there is no tort of harassment in Ontario. The Court of Appeal concluded that the law was not sufficiently evolved to recognize a new tort and there was no compelling policy rationale to do so.

This ruling reversed a decision of the lower court, which awarded damages of C$100,000 to the respondent employee, and provided much needed clarity to the law. While harassment is still relevant in other contexts—such as under the Human Rights Code, the Occupational Health and Safety Act and potentially in the context of a claim of constructive dismissal—we now know that in Ontario employees cannot allege an independent claim for damages solely on the basis of alleged harassment.

The issue of the enforceability of termination clauses in employment contracts has been a perennial “hot topic,” and 2019 was no different.

This past year, in a number of cases, appellate and lower courts continued to strictly scrutinize contractual provisions that attempt to define employees’ rights upon termination, including Andros v. Colliers Macaulay Nicolls Inc., 2019 ONCA 679; Rossman v. Canadian Solar Inc., 2019 ONCA 992; Groves v. UTS Consultants Inc., 2019 ONSC 5605; Cormier v. 1172887 Ontario Limited (St. Joseph Communications), 2019 ONCA 965. These cases confirm that employers should be cautious in drafting these provisions—ideally with the assistance of an employment lawyer—and should assume that the court will critically examine the language for clarity, consistency and compliance with employment standards legislation.

Minimum wages increased across many provinces in Canada in 2019.  Minimum wages now range from a low of C$11.32 per hour in Saskatchewan to a high of C$15 per hour in Alberta.

For federally regulated employers, Parliament made numerous amendments to the Canada Labour Code this past year. These include:

  • Vacation entitlement is increased to two weeks after one year of service, three weeks after five years of service and four weeks after ten years of service
  • Various and significant changes to leaves of absence including personal leave, family violence leave, aboriginal practices leave, jury duty leave and the introduction of paid days for bereavement and personal leaves of absence
  • New requirements with respect to hours of work and mandatory medical or nursing breaks
  • For filing complaints: limits on filing multiple complaints on the same issue for recovering unpaid wages, clarified conditions for disclosing a complainant’s name and new rules on the treatment of abandoned complaints
  • Optional banking of lieu time
  • Provisions regarding the refusal of overtime work to deal with family responsibilities and requesting flexible work arrangements

The Government of Canada has summarized a number of these changes.

In Hall v. Stewart, 2019 ABCA 98, the Alberta Court of Appeal confirmed that a director may be exposed to personal liability for workplace incidents despite the employer having coverage under the Workers’ Compensation Act (Alberta). Specifically, where the director is involved or participated in the events leading to the workplace incident and does not have any corresponding personal workers’ compensation coverage, he or she may be found to be personally liable in tort for any injuries that flow from the incident. In light of this decision, employers and directors should consider obtaining additional workers’ compensation coverage where directors will be involved in or supervise activities on a work site.

Alberta’s Open for Business Act (Bill 2) was introduced on May 27, 2019, and made a number of changes to the Employment Standards Code (Alberta) and its regulations. Notably, Bill 2: (i) enabled employers to provide one hour of paid time off for each hour of overtime worked, as employers were previously required to provide 1.5 hours of paid time off for each hour of overtime worked; (ii) required employees to have worked for their employer for 30 days in the 12 months preceding a general holiday before they become eligible for general holiday pay; (iii) created a distinction between regular and non-regular days of work for the purpose of calculating general holiday pay; and (iv) decreased minimum wage to C$13 per hour for certain employees who are 17 years of age or under.

We highlight below several important legislative developments in Quebec in 2019.

Amendments to the Act respecting labour standards (ARLS)

Significant changes were made to the ARLS in 2019, including changes to the minimum vacation entitlements, the length of authorized leaves of absences, the staggering of work hours and to the limitation period for psychological harassment complaints, which is now two years instead of 90 days after the last occurrence of harassment. While the majority of those changes to the ARLS came into force on January 1, 2019, some changes were already applicable as of June 11, 2018.

In addition to those changes, new provisions pertaining to personnel placement agencies and temporary foreign worker recruitment agencies were introduced in the ARLS on January 1, 2020. For more information regarding these changes, please see the Gazette Officielle du Québec, November 27, 2019, Vol. 151, No. 48.

Modifications to the Quebec Pay Equity Act and Regulation Respecting the Report on Pay Equity

Significant modifications were made to the Quebec Pay Equity Act on April 10, 2019, including that pay adjustments are now payable as of the date of the event leading to the adjustment. For more information, please see An Act to amend the Pay Equity Act mainly to improve the pay equity audit process, SQ 2019, c 4.

  • Changes were also made to the Regulation respecting the report on pay equity (Regulation), which came into effect on October 24, 2019. The Regulation now requires employers to produce a pay equity report at the following interval:
  • Annually, until they declare that they have completed the initial pay equity exercise
  • Subsequently, when they carry out the pay equity audit within their enterprise (every five years)
  • Consequently, employers who have completed their initial pay equity exercise no longer have to produce an annual pay equity report until their next audit.

In Andros v. Colliers Macaulay Nicolls Inc., 2019 ONCA 679, the Court of Appeal concluded that the employee, Andros, was entitled to damages for a portion of his bonus despite that he had not completed the full bonus year. The employer argued that the notice period applicable to Andros ended before the actual bonus payout date, and, therefore, that he should not be entitled to any bonus amount. The Court of Appeal disagreed, finding that the key question was whether the bonus was “earned” during the notice period, not when the amount earned would have been received, and upheld a pro rata bonus damages award to the employee.

In light of this decision, employers in Ontario should be aware that, absent clear contractual language providing otherwise, dismissed employees may be entitled to a pro rata share of their bonus if it is earned within the notice period.

Also of note in 2019 case law is the Court of Appeal’s decision in Mikelsteins v. Morrison Hershfield Limited, 2019 ONCA 515. In that decision, the lower court determined that the dismissed employee was entitled to hold shares of the employer’s parent corporation until the end of the 26-month reasonable notice period, and thereby to benefit from the increase in value of those shares during that period and an applicable “share bonus.”

The Court of Appeal overturned the lower court, finding that the employee’s shareholder entitlements were governed by a shareholders’ agreement, and not under common law employment principles that typically apply to benefits, bonuses and other integral aspects of employees’ compensation. It was the separate shareholders’ agreement that determined the employee’s rights with respect to his shares, not wrongful dismissal law.

Mikelsteins has sought leave to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court.

Rounding out our list is a decision from Ontario’s Workplace Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal (Tribunal) in Morningstar v. Hospitality, 2019 ONWSIAT 2324. As with Merrifield v. Canada, this decision may have important consequences for claims arising from alleged workplace harassment.

The employee started a lawsuit against her former employer and claimed damages for constructive dismissal as a result of alleged bullying, harassment and a poisoned work environment. The Tribunal found that the employee’s claims flowed directly from her allegations of harassment and bullying in the workplace, which she said caused her to suffer chronic mental distress. The Tribunal found that, under the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act, 1997, the employee’s lawsuit was statute barred in its entirety. The employee’s allegations were “inextricably linked” to her alleged workplace injuries. In these particular circumstances, her right to pursue a civil case against her former employer was taken away.

is a leading agency based in Brussels-Capital Region. It focuses on supporting the Brussels economy by promoting the establishment of new businesses and improving town planning of districts. Also, has been supporting all the existing across districts in Brussels for many years. It partnered with Blazeclan wit an  aim to build a robust analytics tool that promotes building the next-generation shopping sector and installments of new shops.

The Need for A Data Collection Platform previously relied on manual data encoding by field agents regarding the business dynamics across the region. This further led to an inaccurate and illegible collection and upload of data. Point-of-sale (POS) survey, customer survey, pedestrian flow, and stands missions have already been helping collect information.

Key requirements included

  • Enhancing the UI/UX to facilitate use for non-technical users.
  • Creating predefined field data gathering circuits.
  • Creating well-sequenced questions to avoid any redundancy.
  • Improving the adaptability of applications on field.
  • Enabling automated transmission of ingested data to the data lake, which can then directly be used on the web application.
  • Bringing a high degree of control in user management.

“By developing a custom cloud environment for, Blazeclan helped us to improve the way we monitor Brussels economy and the way we provide advices to companies located in the region. Blazeclan was a strong partner and helped us to understand our users concerns, suggested an adapted technical solution to fullfil them and developed this solution with a great project management.”

- Juan Vazquez Parras, Head of Project Services -

The Solution

Blazeclan developed an iPad-based data collection tool, through which are provided with methodical representation of the existing data. The access of this iPad application is restricted to the’ team i.e. field agents. The data collected through this platform includes the market survey, point of sales survey, customer survey, and pedestrian flow. In short, this platform has been built to collect all data associated with Businesses in the region.

The Approach

  • A comprehensive functional analysis has been done from the perspective of both technical and operational.
  • Multiple proof-of-concepts (POCs) have been prepared for validating the approach and scope of the solution.
  • For validating the functional analysis and the POCs prepared, multiple field trips have been conducted with field agents.
  • The iPad application was developed with the highest agility possible. Here all field agents and stakeholders were delivered with the capability to make further modifications to the application.
  • A robust project management was used for successful implementation of the iPad application.

Benefits Achieved by the

Seamless Data Consolidation: The application provided with a seamless data consolidation, which otherwise too almost two years and the data would go outdated before the reports were generated. It helped them simply consume the gathered data instantly as and when required.

Convenient Data Accessibility: The application enabled a convenient access to the data gathered, which furthered changed the culture within the organization as even the non-data oriented users were able to access the data easily. The application was made highly dependable with updated dashboards that drive performance and deliver high quality reports.

High Reliability: The iPad-based application delivered high reliability, as it offered simplified versions of the information on the web application. The data captured asynchronously is stored on the device and sent to the data lake for further processing and exploration.

“Hub.Brussels found in Blazeclan the strong partner needed to work on a long term BI & Analytics Smart City project. BlazeClan and their team mastered in moving us from a legacy, to a first class Cloud environment with a beautifully developed custom application. Analytics.Brussels is a project that required vision, strategic planning, a high level of agility and adaptability, while overcoming challenges and exploiting at its best all the values of this new technology.”

Britt5091 Origins: Just a Random Question for Dudes

Welcome to Britt5091: Origins, where I dig up old blog posts I used to write for IGN’s community under the username Britt5091. Some posts may make you giggle, some may make your eyes bleed, and some may make you stroke your beard in a pensive manner. All you need to know is that these posts, no matter how terrible some of them may be, ultimately lead to everything I do now.

Just a Random Question for Dudes

September 26th, 2009

This is probably as far away from gaming as it can get. But if you’re a guy and wear this color:

…does the pink amp up your testosterone? Why is it every guy I talk to that’s wearing pink so damn cocky to the point I want to ROFLAMO?

Yeah, there’s another one of ‘Britt’s stories’ to go along with this question, but I don’t have time right now to write it up.

Happy Saturday, and GO HUSKIES!

Update: July 3rd, 2012

So, like, is it really already the third of July?

Oh. Ahem. Right. So the post above…sadly I don’t remember what the story was, but all I know is men who claim to be all “studly” and “manly” shouldn’t wear pink unless they’re supporting breast cancer. Because, like, dude…it makes you come across as a cocky sun’bitch and is a huuuuuuuge turnoff.

A shining example of energy efficiency

As of this September, it has become much easier to conserve energy: the new EU energy label for lamps is giving consumers greater transparency when shopping for lamps. Read on to find out why it makes sense to compare, and how else you can conserve electricity.

A squirrel holding the EU energy labels© Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy

It’s autumn now in Germany. The days are becoming shorter and we leave our lamps on for longer and longer. So it’s good that, since 1 September 2021, all the lamps on offer in shops have been boasting the new EU energy label. This label gives consumers important information about the energy performance of LEDs and other lamps, making it easier to compare. Consumers that take the time to choose the right lamp for them can conserve a great deal of electricity. This is good news for the environment and helps you save cash. After all, lighting accounts for almost 10% of the average German household’s electricity bill.

A new EU energy label to make it easier to compare

The switchover to the new EU energy label must be completed by the retail sector by 28 February 2023. But what exactly is new about the label and what does it say? In future, all lamps will again boast a simple letter ranging between A and G. A is reserved for the most efficient products, G for the least efficient ones. There will be no more ‘+ categories’. It is possible, for instance, that a product that used to be labelled ‘A+++’ may now bear a B or C label.

The EU energy label provides the following information: the lamp’s class of energy efficiency, its energy consumption over 1,000 hours operating time (in kilowatt hours), and a QR code, which links up to the EU product database called EPREL and gives consumers additional information about the product.

More room for innovation

So why this change of label? The freed-up, upper energy-efficiency classes leave room for new, clever innovations that will give us even more energy-efficient and climate-friendly lighting for the cold season. Over the last few years, there have been a number of technical developments that have helped improve products’ energy performance. This has meant that there are several product groups where almost all products on the market find themselves in the best efficiency categories. What’s important to know is that the new categories are based on new calculation methods. This means that they are different from the categories indicated on the old EU energy label.

New things replace old ones. This is also true for some lamps, especially some energy-saving light bulbs and halogen lamps, that no longer meet the EU minimum requirements for energy efficiency. As of September 2023, these products and some fluorescent tubes will no longer be on sale in the EU.

A short video clip published on the Economic Affairs Ministry’s platform “Deutschland macht’s effizient“, which also has additional information on the new EU energy label and on energy efficiency, shows consumers what to watch out for when shopping for a new lamp.

Vegan Avocado Chocolate Mousse

Avocado Chocolate Mousse

Naturally, I tune out commercials when they play on the radio especially the "body wrap" commercials which is overplayed like Lady Gaga's latest single. I subconsciously thought of the commercial when I had a big event coming up. After some research I made an appointment at a holistic clinic and I wished I spent the money on a pair of shoes instead.

I was dressed in a plush bathrobe and slippers and waited in the "relaxation" room with a cup of herbal tea splashed with almond milk. The sounds of waves thrashing on rocks were playing and I was browsing their collection of magazine.

On the last page of a "raw" lifestyle magazine I came across a recipe for avocado chocolate mousse. I like avocado in sweet dishes and I couldn't wait to try the recipe at home. At least I got something good out of the whole experience. The buttery smooth texture of avocado is a fantastic vehicle for dessert dishes.

Avocado Chocolate Mousse
Agave Nectar Lake

As part of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program, I received a few California Avocados.

Avocado Chocolate Mousse
1-2 servings

1 ripe avocado
1/4 Cup cocoa powder
1/4 Cup raw agave nectar
1 tsp vanilla extract

Peel and quarter avocado. Put all the ingredients in a blender or use a hand mixer and blend well. Serve immediately.

Avocado Chocolate Mousse

I usually make 1-2 servings because when I am craving for something rich and cocoa I turn to this dessert. The amount is perfect for a little noshing while playing 'Words for Friends' or reading my comic books.

The chocolate mousse is vegan and healthier than the original version. But seriously, who cares, as long as the dessert is good. (I say the above sentence because if I mention the word "raw" or "vegan" to some people I know, they already frown and contrive a bias before actually tasting the food.)

Avocado Chocolate Mousse
This one is saying "Peek-a-boo"

Vegan, raw and whatever else, it does not matter as long as it's good. I served the avocado chocolate mousse to "some people" and didn't tell them it was raw or vegan and they scarfed it down. Warmer weather is coming, aka more leggy outfits, so I'll be seeing a lot of you Mr. Avocado Chocolate Mousse.

Kathryn said...

I actually saw something like this on Dr. Oz! It sounds so unique and totally delicious. I can imagine how creamy it must be. Great photos!

Medifast Coupons said...

Did you put back in the skin, that is what it looks like? And pretty great recipe!!

Heavenly Housewife said...

I've never had an avocado desert, but I adore avocados, I'd love to try something like this. It sounds fabulous.
*kisses* HH

foodhoe said...

mmmm, looks delicious! I had a chocolate "cheesecake" at alive! in the ferry building and wondered how they put that together. Looks wonderful! Very inspiring.

The Duo Dishes said...

Avocado and chocolate definitely rock together. You can fool a lot of people with this one. Try and avocado coconut ice cream too. It's vegan as well!

Kung Food Panda said...

Wow, this looks great!! I love both chocolate and avocado.

On this date in 1716 Jean Thurel, or Jean Theurel (6 September 1698 – 10 March 1807) enlisted as a fusilier in the French Army (Touraine Regiment) at the age of 18. He remained on active duty for 75 years, refusing all promotions, and died at the age of 108, still registered as a soldier in the army. Technically, therefore, he was a soldier for 90 years. Longtime readers of this blog know that I am averse to writing about war and soldiery, but I’ll make an exception for Thurel because of his extraordinary life. He was born in the reign of Louis XIV and died when Napoleon I was emperor; Thurel lived in three different centuries, experiencing extraordinary changes in France and Europe.

Thurel was born in Orain, Burgundy in 1698. As a soldier Thurel was severely wounded in battle on two occasions. In 1733, during the siege of Kehl, he was shot in the chest with a musket, and at the battle of Minden in 1759, he received seven sword slashes, including six to the head. Three of his brothers were killed in the battle of Fontenoy in 1745. One of Thurel’s sons was a corporal and a veteran in the same company. He died at the Battle of the Saintes, a naval battle that was fought off the coast of Dominica, West Indies during the American Revolutionary War, on 12 April 1782. Thurel was a survivor!

Thurel was a notably well-disciplined infantry soldier of the line infantry and was admonished only once during his entire career. During the 1747 Siege of Bergen as the French troops occupied the citadel he was disciplined because, the doors of the fortress were locked, so he had to scale its walls to get in so that he would not miss muster. Another example of Thurel’s discipline and physical fitness occurred in 1787. When his regiment was ordered to march to the coast to embark on ships of the French Navy he was given the opportunity to travel in a carriage due to his advanced age – he was 88 at the time. Thurel refused the offer and marched the entire distance on foot, saying that he had never before traveled by carriage and had no intention of doing so at that time. His humility is evident in his steadfast refusal to accept any promotions. He remained a common fusilier for his entire military career.

In hopes of improving re-enlistment rates, Louis XV established the Médaillon Des Deux Épées (Medal of the Two Swords) by a royal decree in 1771. This was the first military decoration in France for which an enlisted man could be eligible. This medal was initially awarded to soldiers who had served in the French Army, as a reward for their longevity of service. The decree was extended in 1774 so that sailors of the French Navy were also eligible to receive the medal. A soldier or sailor would have to serve for 24 years to be eligible for the Médaillon Des Deux Épées. Thurel was awarded two Médaillon Des Deux Épées in 1771, the year the medal was established, in recognition of the two 24-year periods of time (1716–1740 and 1740–1764) he had served up until then.

On 8 November 1787, Thurel was presented to the royal court at the Palace of Versailles. The 33-year-old king of France, Louis XVI, addressed the 88-year-old Army private in a respectful manner as “père” (“father”), and asked whether Thurel would prefer to be awarded the Ordre Royal et Militaire de Saint-Louis (Royal and Military Order of Saint Louis) or a third Médaillon Des Deux Épées medal, in recognition of the period from 1764–1788. This was a highly unusual request—not only because enlisted men and non-commissioned officers were not normally eligible to receive the Ordre Royal et Militaire de Saint-Louis, which was reserved for commissioned officers of the Army or the Navy—but also because Thurel still had four more months of military service to complete before being eligible for a third Médaillon Des Deux Épées medal. Thurel opted to receive a third Médaillon Des Deux Épées, on the condition that the king himself attach the medal to his uniform. Louis agreed. The Comte d’Artois offered Thurel his sword, and the ladies of the court put a carriage at his disposal during his stay in the Paris area. The king also granted Thurel an annual pension of 300 livres. Very few men ever completed the 48 years of military service required to receive a second medal. Thurel was the only one to have received it three times. In 1788 the officers of his regiment jointly paid for a portrait of Thurel to be painted by Antoine Vestier (lead image).

On 26 October 1804, at the age of 106, Thurel became one of the first recipients of the newly established Ordre National de la Légion d’Honneur (Legion of Honor), the highest decoration in France. Napoleon also rewarded him with a pension of 1,200 francs. He was later appointed as the “oldest soldier of Europe.” He remained healthy in body and spirit throughout his remarkably long life. He died in Tours on 10 March 1807, at the age of 108, after a brief illness.

In researching Thurel’s life I came across a brief discussion about his date of birth. Was he actually born in 1699 and not 1698? Apparently a baptismal record was discovered at some point listing 1699 as his date of birth, but some people believe that this is a forgery. I’d file this under “who cares?”  I’m sometimes given to wonder about the sanity of people who get all bent out of shape by insisting that he was 107, not 108, when he died. Our whole view of French history is hardly going to crumble because of this. Either way he lived a remarkable life.

Inasmuch as one can know anything about people of past centuries I’d have to say that I’d likely have found Thurel a bit hard to stomach in large doses if I’d ever met him. On the one hand, his dedication to service is admirable. I take my hat off to anyone who devotes his entire life, with energy and passion, to a single pursuit. On the other hand, Thurel reminds me of old men and women that I have met over the years who have an unwavering devotion to a fixed concept of duty that won’t bend under any circumstances. It’s not the devotion itself that I have any quarrel with, it’s the underlying inflexibility of mind that often goes with it that can be a tad annoying.

Given that Thurel was on active duty for 75 years, he would have had one main meal per day throughout the 18th century, as was the custom for rich and poor. That works out to over 27,000 meals. I would imagine that an awful lot of them were the same, and I don’t imagine that Thurel was a gourmet nor used to fine dining. So let’s start with the basics. Standing armies did not develop much in Europe until the 18th century. Before that, militias were raised as needed. With the development of standing armies, budgets and rations had to be codified. They were more or less the same for France and Britain, for navies as well as armies. That is, in theory, each soldier (or sailor) was assigned something like 1 lb salt beef, 1 lb bread, and 1 pint legumes or rice. Whether they actually got this is another matter. Of course, individual circumstances would have varied enormously. Campaigning soldiers could ransack farms and farmhouses for provisions (and did), and when at home were encouraged to raise chickens and livestock, and tend gardens (usually turnips, carrots, and cabbage). What soldiers actually ate routinely would depend on both what was available and the abilities of the camp cooks. My surmise is that Thurel ate a lot of boiled beef and beans with bread. The common habit on campaign was for soldiers to eat in “messes” of 5 to 6 men, that is, the occupants of a single tent. Each mess would build a fire and cook their meals using an issued pot and kettle. The quality of cooking is anyone’s guess. Bread was supplied by local bakers or they ate hard tack.

I’ve covered military (naval) recipes, including salt beef, dried peas, and hard tack, in the past quite fully. You can search for them easily enough.   Whilst I can’t imagine that Thurel ate omelets terribly often, he must have had them once in a while. So I’ll stretch things a bit by giving an 18th century omelet recipe from Les Soupers de la Cour, Menon (1755). I gave his recipe for Omelette à la Gendarme (Military Omelette) here . This name does not imply that the omelet was made for the military, but that it looks like soldiers on guard (sort of). Close enough.

What intrigues me about this new recipe, omelette au jambon (ham omelet), is that it calls for “coulis” with ham as a sauce for the omelet. A coulis (the term used also in English by chefs) is a form of thick sauce made from puréed and strained vegetables or fruits. In this case the recipe specifies that the coulis be very sweet:

Mettez dans des oeufs une petite cuillerée coulis avec du jambon cuit haché; battez & faites l’omelette; dressez sur le plat; servez dessus une sauce faites avec coulis bien doux & jambon haché.

Roughly translated: Put a small spoonful of coulis with chopped ham into some eggs. Beat (the eggs), and make an omelet. Put it on a plate. Serve with a sauce of sweet coulis and chopped ham.

Your only issue is going to be how to make the coulis (I’m assuming you know how to cook an omelet). Well, technically that’s not a problem. Blend some fruit to a fine purée.  The question is what fruit to use. First off, I’d say that you need to add some stock to the coulis to give it more character whatever fruit you use. Beef stock would be all right, but ham stock or broth would be better. Still, if you are going to be true to this recipe it needs to be a sweet coulis. That means using a properly sweet, ripe fruit. Pineapple would serve, but would not be very 18th century. Plums would fit the bill better. But it’s your choice.

Could One Determined Former Tenant Bring Down Boston’s Most Infamous Landlord?

Roach infestations. Mold problems. Overflowing dumpsters. Residents of Alpha Management’s Boston-area apartment buildings have suffered all kinds of horrors over the years.

Illustration by Mark Matcho

After another day of attending online graduate classes from her one-bedroom apartment in the summer of 2020, Mary Stathos rose from her desk to heat up what felt like her millionth can of soup for dinner that week. As she padded around her kitchen, she avoided the spots where the green, yellow, and brown flooring was peeling back. Once her meal was ready, she retreated to her bedroom, where she had crammed her dining room table into the corner. As she tried to enjoy her soup as best she could, she wondered how her living situation had gotten to this point.

It all began when Stathos had discovered the deteriorating linoleum while deep-cleaning her apartment. Pulling it back to vacuum any crumbs that had fallen beneath, she found the floorboards were rotted through, she says. Stathos had called her landlord, only to have her requests for maintenance go unanswered. Terrified her table would fall through the floor, she dragged it into her bedroom. Shortly after, the seal on her fridge broke, preventing the door from shutting properly and allowing the cold air to escape, she says, limiting her diet to nonperishables. Again, she says, she called her landlord to fix the problem. Again, nothing.

As bad as the situation was, it wasn’t much of a surprise. Stathos’s woes had actually started the year before, when she signed the lease in 2019 for her Medford apartment in the midst of a frantic last-minute house hunt. During her first year at 63 Fellsway West, Stathos explains, fire escapes barricaded by trash and out-of-order washing machines were the norm. One time, she and her neighbors found themselves locked inside the building because the front door was broken, she recalls. They say they got no response from management until they dialed the fire department, which led to someone finally coming to repair the door.

Now, Stathos says, she found herself with a broken fridge and a rotting floor. The 27-year-old clinical therapist fastidiously avoided her kitchen as she awaited repairs, restricting the already limited space she had. But even after two months, she recalls, Alpha Management hadn’t responded to her maintenance requests.

They had, however, sent her an offer to renew her lease for an additional $75 a month. Coming off a spell of COVID-related unemployment that had left her unable to pay rent for three months, Stathos couldn’t believe Alpha’s representatives had the nerve to ask for more money for an essentially unusable unit. “They were so aggressively harassing me about rent, and this was while I had ongoing maintenance requests for the floor,” says Stathos, who ultimately decided to withhold her August and September rent payments until the floor was fixed in October. “They were calling at minimum one time a day and at most three times a day. Then you’re sitting in your bedroom at the kitchen table, which can’t be in the kitchen, eating soup because it’s something you can make that [doesn’t need to] be refrigerated. It’s a lot of asking, How did I get here? ”

The answer was simple: Stathos had entered the noxious orbit of Alpha Management owner Anwar Faisal, previously the subject of an article in the January 2014 issue of this magazine thanks to his track record of renting out rundown units. Since purchasing his first property in Boston in 1986, Faisal has been one of the area’s most complained-about landlords, with problems ranging from bedbug and cockroach infestations to overflowing dumpsters to broken window locks that led to break-ins. Stathos’s problem was just one in a string of many. Faisal and his representative declined to comment and fully respond to questions sent to them by Boston. “I spoke to Anwar and his attorneys do not recommend him to give any comments as Boston magazine twisted all the words from his past interview and never wrote any good word in regards to Anwar’s donations, community, and student support. This is really very sad,” the representative wrote in an email. In an earlier email, that representative sent an inspection certificate for 63 Fellsway West from the city of Medford’s building department certifying the building had sufficient means of egress for 20 units total.

While a lot has changed since Boston first wrote about Faisal, it appears as though his habits as a landlord have not, leaving many tenants deeply unhappy about their living situations—including Stathos. In the midst of her despair, she spotted a flier left in the lobby of her building from the Greater Boston Tenants Union that included an email address for residents in need of assistance. Stathos reached out to a representative, who explained that organizing with other tenants could force Alpha’s hand to stop raising rents and start fulfilling maintenance requests.

Not willing to go down without a fight, Stathos began talking to her neighbors and found most people had similar problems, if not worse. One person, she learned, had mold growing on their walls. Another tenant told Stathos that the unit had a severe infestation of mice and cockroaches. A woman in the building next door, also owned by Alpha, said her apartment had a fire before she moved in and the smoke damage was never cleaned. Though Stathos eventually managed to get her problems fixed after filing a complaint with Medford’s health department, many people, unaware of their rights as tenants, were still living with their issues, just barely hanging on. If they all banded together, Stathos told them as she knocked on doors and messaged neighbors, they might have a shot at pushing Faisal to finally get his act together.

Under Stathos’s guidance, it didn’t take long for the residents of 63 and 53 Fellsway West to form the Alpha Tenants Union, dedicated to ensuring its members had safe, clean, and affordable housing through the power of collective bargaining. Sixteen of the two buildings’ residents signed a letter to Alpha the following January declaring their demands.

Not surprisingly, perhaps, this wasn’t Faisal’s first experience with angry tenants. Back when he bought buildings in Medford and Malden nearly 10 years ago and raised rents, the landlord also faced resistance, according to Steve Meacham, the organizing coordinator for City Life/Vida Urbana, a Jamaica Plain–based racial equity nonprofit that works on housing issues. While the nonprofit tried to help residents organize and protest Faisal’s rent hikes, eventually many tenants got fed up and decided to move out. This time, though, something felt different. Because of the threat that COVID-related financial struggles have posed to many renters across Boston, tenants unions like Stathos’s were sprouting up everywhere—and as their numbers grew, so too did their power.

Was Boston’s most notorious landlord about to meet his match?

Many renters think that when they sign their lease, they also sign away their negotiating power. But joining a tenants union gives them the opportunity to seize that power back.

Many renters think that when they sign their lease, they also sign away their negotiating power. But joining a tenants union gives them the opportunity to seize that power back: Similar to workers unions, these groups are able to win benefits for members (think: building repairs, limited rent hikes, and even amenities such as free parking) through collective bargaining—even more so when there are obvious code violations that can be used as leverage. Most commonly formed when buildings are purchased and rents increased, some unions even manage to guarantee concessions in a binding agreement. It’s easy, after all, for landlords to get rid of one annoying tenant. But an entire building? That’s a headache.

Perhaps most important, tenant union organizers inform residents of rights they never knew they had, particularly when it comes to rising rents or unbearable living conditions. While Massachusetts is often touted as a “tenant-friendly state,” the reality is that under the law, the burden of reporting health-code violations in apartment buildings falls to the people who live there. Tenants can go to their local board of health or Boston’s Inspectional Services Department when an issue arises that violates housing code. But if they aren’t aware of that, or don’t have the time or resources to make such a complaint, landlords can basically get away with anything. Meanwhile, those who do take individual action run the risk of retaliation—which means people who can’t afford to move have the most to lose when they have a problem. “The system is failing,” says Nicole Eigbrett, director of community organizing for the federally designated antipoverty group Community Action Agency of Somerville. “It is failing tenants and really harming the most vulnerable residents in our community.”

Stathos found all of this to be true when talking with her neighbors: Many didn’t even know they could report their issues with the building to Medford’s health department. But she also found a critical mass of residents who were willing to fight back. In the letter the newly formed union sent to Alpha in January 2021 (cc’ed to the Medford Patch and Medford Transcript), the group demanded no rent increases or evictions during the pandemic and timely responses to maintenance requests. Just as the tenants had hoped, the media outlets reported on the letter, and within 24 hours of the stories being published, Stathos says, they saw results: Though Alpha refused to officially acknowledge the union’s demands, the landlord did remove trash from the fire escapes, repair a broken basement floor, and address mold growth.

Feeling emboldened by the initial improvements, the union began to expand its reach, encouraging residents in Faisal’s Allston buildings to start reporting their own dangerous living situations. Stathos also spoke at a virtual meeting of the Boston Planning & Development Agency in February on behalf of the union, condemning a new 38-unit residential building in Allston that Faisal and his team have been trying to get approved under his other company, Nora. “While I do understand building in Boston is a priority,” Stathos said from her unit in Alpha’s Medford building, “I want to raise concerns about allowing Alpha Management to build another building in Allston. Faisal and Alpha Management are notorious for providing unsafe and unsanitary housing conditions.” Many attendees at the February hearing agreed, including a member of the Greater Boston Tenants Union and former tenants from other buildings. The Allston Civic Association also condemned the project in light of Faisal’s history (project approval was still pending at press time).

It felt like the union’s work was picking up steam. But what members didn’t know was that Faisal had a few tricks up his sleeve, too.

On April 20, 2021, Stathos was walking into the lobby to pick up food when the mailman handed her a white envelope. She opened it to find a letter from Faisal’s and Alpha’s lawyer demanding that she and the union stop slandering, libeling, and defaming Faisal. It was exactly the kind of tactic Eigbrett says landlords use to intimidate tenants when they fight back—but unlike many others, Stathos had resources. “He’s doing all kinds of things and he’s not being stopped,” she says now. “Why would he stop with me, this young girl organizing against him? I don’t think he realized I know what I’m doing.”

With the support of the Greater Boston Tenants Union, Stathos raised funds for an attorney, who subsequently sent a response to Alpha’s and Faisal’s lawyer. The threat from their lawyer, he said, was not based on any legitimate legal grounds, and if Alpha and Faisal did go ahead with a lawsuit, they could expect a countersuit.

Alpha didn’t respond to Stathos’s lawyer, she says. The company also ghosted Stathos when she called about re-signing her lease that spring. Stathos might have dismissed the lack of response as normal given how long they had ignored her maintenance requests, but the one time she did get someone on the phone, she says she was told that her rent might increase based on her unionizing—which she pointed out to the employee would be illegal retaliation.

The nail in the coffin came when Stathos went to pay her July rent—and found her account in the online payment portal had been shut down. A check subsequently mailed to management was never cashed, she says. Shortly before the end of her lease on July 31, Stathos received a notice saying Alpha would not be extending her lease, and that she needed to vacate her unit. “They bullied me out of my apartment,” she says. (The Alpha Management representative wrote in an email to Boston that “[Stathos] was trespassing and disturbing the tenants but no one was ever threatening her.”)

Even for tenants who aren’t forced to leave, moving out is often easier than staying and fighting. Take Sean Kolczynski, a fourth-year student at Northeastern University: He and his roommates moved into a four-bedroom Alpha-managed apartment near campus in September 2020, each paying $1,350 a month in rent. While their problems didn’t reach the level of Stathos’s, they found the management company wasn’t responsive to their needs: Alpha, Kolczynski says, regularly left its emergency maintenance line unanswered; failed to notify residents about construction or maintain scaffolding, which posed a safety hazard; and didn’t provide coin machines in the laundry room. At the end of his lease, Kolczynski left, tired of dealing with it all. He found out too late that there was a union that could have helped improve conditions and save him from the headache of a move. “I would’ve loved to have joined,” he says. “I’ve always asked how we can defend ourselves to a landlord.”

Thankfully for the remaining Alpha renters, Stathos’s exodus from her Medford building didn’t mean the total demise of the union she formed. She says she plans to stay involved and keep organizing, and is considering taking Alpha to court for retaliation—but not because she wanted to stay in her decrepit apartment. If countless fines from the Boston Inspectional Services Department can’t stop Faisal, who isn’t new to housing authorities, from doing this again, perhaps a court battle will at least encourage positive change. “There’s a system that’s enabling [him],” she says.

If you walk into 63 Fellsway West today, you can tell many of the residents are new, blissfully unaware of the struggles of those who came before them. Fresh labels with new names are affixed over old ones on the mailboxes. Letters addressed to previous tenants like Stathos are piled up in open mailboxes. A man coming in from taking out the trash mentions he only moved in a few months prior. Like many of the newer tenants, he hasn’t heard about the union yet and doesn’t have much to say about the landlord. For now, at least, it appears Faisal has emerged victorious again—that is, until another cycle of knocking on doors, posting fliers, and fighting for tenants’ rights perhaps begins anew.

IAF can deliver desired punch when required within short time frame: Air Chief Marshal

NEW DELHI (PTI): India should comprehend the situation along its unsettled western and northern borders as a 'two-front' contingency and prepare for it accordingly, Air Chief Marshal VR Chaudhari said on Sunday, referring to the possible challenge from a collusive military threat from China and Pakistan.

In an exclusive interview to PTI, the Chief of Air Staff said India could be attacked on all fronts, starting from military standoffs to information manipulation and blackouts in the future and its security doctrines and capabilities will have to cater to such possibilities.

To a specific question on whether Russian aggression against Ukraine could encourage China to take more aggressive posturing along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), he said the effect of global events and geopolitical developments on India's engagement with Beijing are being assessed continually across wide-ranging domains "at all levels".

"As a nation, we need to identify our immediate and future threats accurately so that necessary capability responses can be developed to counter them," he said.

Asked about China's rapid deployment of its air assets along the LAC in eastern Ladakh amid the lingering border standoff, he said the "IAF can deliver the desired punch when required within a very short time-frame."

Listing the rapid geopolitical upheavals, the Chief of Air Staff noted that any future conflict will require the integration of all elements of the national security apparatus to make it an "All-of-Nation-Approach".

"We have certain challenges on our western and northern borders, primarily due to unsettled borders. It would be prudent for us to comprehend our situation as a 'two-front' contingency' and prepare for it accordingly," he opined.

The Chief of Air Staff said that India's military operational plans, capability enhancement and training should always cater for a wide spectrum of threats emanating from either or both fronts.

Several top military officials including India's first Chief of Defence Staff Gen Bipin Rawat and former Army Chief Gen MM Naravane had flagged concerns about the possibility of a co-ordinated threat along the northern and western fronts.

But it is for the first time that a serving chief has called for a detailed plan to deal with such a threat.

"We are also cognisant of the need to be prepared for an event-based short-duration operation which necessitates quick planning, rapid deployment of assets and swift action," he said.

"IAF is working intricately on all these aspects to build a credible force to cater to all contingencies," he added.

The comments by the IAF Chief came in the backdrop of a greater realisation among India's national security planners that the country must have a comprehensive security architecture in the face of rapid geopolitical turmoil as well as the strategic reality of the long-term militarisation of the LAC by China.

"We must take a longer-term view and look at the manifestation of hostile forces on our national interests rather than compare threats as per the present state of affairs," Air Chief Marshal Chaudhari said.

"We face a different adversary on our western and northern borders, both in terms of its nature and numbers. As defence forces, we remain ever vigilant to respond to any threat and to safeguard national sovereignty at all costs," he said.

The Chief of Air Staff exuded confidence that the Indian armed forces have provided enough deterrence to preclude any "misadventure on our borders".

On China expanding its military infrastructure along the LAC, Air Chief Marshal Chaudhari said the IAF continually keep abreast of the capability development across the borders and take actions to mitigate any threats that such developments may cause.

"I am happy to see the pace of our infrastructure up-gradation in order to meet the requirements of our new inductions and operational imperatives," he said, adding the Chinook helicopters have started operating from one of the two earmarked bases in the east with infrastructure development nearing completion at the second base.

The IAF Chief said the infrastructure for the second Rafale squadron and subsequent operationalisation has also been completed in the eastern sector.

He said existing Advanced Landing Grounds (ALGs) in the North-Eastern region have been upgraded by putting in place additional resources and equipment.

"Further, we realise the inherent attributes of air power that allow us to rapidly concentrate effects over wide geographical areas in very short timelines," he said.

"While I would not comment upon our actual deployment, it would suffice to state that the IAF can deliver the desired punch when required within a very short time-frame," he added.

Asked what role the IAF can play in the Indo-Pacific, the Air Chief Marshal said it is committed to playing its part in ensuring freedom of navigation and progression of a rules-based order in the region in line with the country's foreign policy.

"There is a requirement of maintaining peace, tranquillity, freedom of movement and most importantly equal rights for all nations in the region, irrespective of their size and might," he said.

"India's growing stature has seen its convergence not only with like-minded nations but also with global stakeholders in the Indo-Pacific," he added.

    Super clean and modern. However I wouldn’t say it’s the best place to meet people if you are a solo traveler. Social areas are not that good, they don’t organize any activities or tours.

Chroniker City

The Brass Giant

Chroniker City #1

Sometimes, even the most unlikely person
can change the world.

Seventeen-year-old Petra Wade, self-taught clockwork engineer, wants nothing more than to become a certified member of the Guild, an impossible dream for a lowly shop girl. Still, she refuses to give up, tinkering with any machine she can get her hands on, in between working and babysitting her foster siblings.

When Emmerich Goss—handsome, privileged, and newly recruited into the Guild—needs help designing a new clockwork system for a top-secret automaton, it seems Petra has finally found the opportunity she’s been waiting for. But if her involvement on the project is discovered, Emmerich will be marked for treason, and a far more dire fate would await Petra.

Working together in secret, they build the clockwork giant, but as the deadline for its completion nears, Petra discovers a sinister conspiracy from within the Guild council … and their automaton is just the beginning.

The Brass Giant is available in ebook or mass market paperback.

The Mechanical Theater

Chroniker City Novella #1.5

Petra Wade’s older brother, Solomon, has always dreamed of being an actor. Instead, he works grueling shifts in the clockwork city’s boiler rooms to help support his large adopted family. When Le Theatre Mecanique holds an open call for their upcoming performance, he decides to audition, but the only role he is suitable to fill is that of the theater’s custodian.

Leaving the well-paying boiler job behind him, Solomon immerses himself in the theater—watching rehearsals, studying the performances, and working with an emerging young actress to improve his skills. But back at home, his family feels the sting of their reduced income when his younger sister Emily develops pneumonia and the only treatment is too expensive.

Solomon will be forced to make a difficult choice: fulfill his dreams of stardom, or help save his younger sister.

The Mechanical Theater is available in ebook only.

The Guild Conspiracy

Chroniker City #2

In the face of impossible odds,
can one girl stem the tides of war?

It has been six months since clockwork engineer Petra Wade destroyed an automaton designed for battle, narrowly escaping with her life. But her troubles are far from over. Her partner on the project, Emmerich Goss, has been sent away to France, and his father, Julian, is still determined that a war machine will be built. Forced to create a new device, Petra subtly sabotages the design in the hopes of delaying the war, but sabotage like this isn’t just risky: it’s treason. And with a soldier, Braith, assigned to watch her every move, it may not be long before Julian finds out what she’s done.

Now she just has to survive long enough to find another way to stop the war before her sabotage is discovered and she’s sentenced to hang for crimes against the empire. But Julian’s plans go far deeper than she ever realized … war is on the horizon, and it will take everything Petra has to stop it in this fast-paced, thrilling sequel to The Brass Giant.

The Guild Conspiracy is available in ebook
or mass market paperback.

Spaulding Report: Tom Bradley and BYU OC Ty Detmer Have History

Coaches and players talked after practice on Tuesday afternoon, addressing BYU's offensive coordinator Ty Detmer, Fabian Moreau being a lockdown corner, Jacob Tuioti-Mariner's ability to play many positions, how to pressure the QB, and much more.

Jacob Tuioti-Mariner has been filling in for injured UCLA defensive linemen.
Jacob Tuioti-Mariner has been filling in for injured UCLA defensive linemen.
Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports

When UCLA defensive coordinator Tom Bradley and first-year BYU offensive coordinator Ty Detmer attempt to match wits on Saturday night, it won't be the first time they've faced each other.

Detmer won the Heisman Trophy in 1990, playing quarterback at BYU under the tutelage of legendary head coach LaVell Edwards. The season before his Heisman campaign, he led the Cougars to a 10-2 regular season and into the Holiday Bowl to play Penn State, where Tom Bradley was coaching linebackers at the time.

"I think it was '89 the last time I saw Ty in the Holiday Bowl, and he had quite a night," Bradley remembered.

Detmer completed 42 of 59 passes for 576 yards that night, setting the NCAA record for most passing yards and most total yards of offense (594) in a bowl game. The Nittany Lions intercepted a 2-point conversion late in the 4th quarter to keep the Cougars from tying the game at 41. Later, with seconds left and BYU driving, Detmer was sacked by a blitzing Penn State DB, who forced a fumble and housed it, and the Nittany Lions held on to win 50-39.

"We were lucky to beat him that night," Bradley said.

Upon being named the new BYU head coach in late 2015, Kalani Sitake hired the greatest Cougar player of all time to be the offensive coordinator. Detmer had been the head football coach at St. Andrew's Episcopal School in Austin, TX since 2009, where he landed after bouncing around for over a dozen years as a player in the NFL.

Detmer's offense hasn't lit up the scoreboard the way he did for LaVell Edwards just yet, scoring only 18 in their first outing against Arizona, then 19 against Utah.

"They're organizing what they want to do, but he's a pretty good coach," Bradley said.

Fabian Moreau is a Lockdown Corner

In the first half for UNLV last week, wide receiver Devonte Boyd caught 5 passes for 84 yards against the Bruins. In the second half? Nothing.

"All Fabian. All Fabian. All Fabian," Bradley responded when asked how the defense limited the Rebels' top receiver to a second-half donut.

Bradley made a little change in coverage in the locker room. Instead of Fabian Moreau and Nate Meadors sticking to their sides of the field as cornerbacks, Moreau would track Boyd wherever he went.

"Coach just asked me to follow him," Moreau said. "I just played man-to-man defense on him, and that's something I love to do."

I know how we can stop the run: Just put ten guys in the box, and let Fabian take care of the rest.

Jacob Tuioti-Mariner Is the "Putty Guy"

With all the injuries that the Bruins have sustained on the defensive line, the coaching staff has leaned hard on junior defensive lineman Jacob Tuioti-Mariner.

"He's everywhere. I gotta give him credit, he plays three of the four down positions," Bradley said.

Tuioti-Mariner, who survived a bout with appendicitis during fall camp, started at end against UNLV, before sliding into the interior after Eddie Vanderdoes was taken out of the game.

"You just gotta do what you gotta do, man," he said about playing so many different roles. "Whatever they need you to play, you just gotta accept the responsibility. That's what being a football player is all about."

Tuioti-Mariner has seven tackles on the year, and a quarterback hurry.

"He's like our putty guy," Bradley said. "You kind of gotta put him all over the place and something happens."

Injury Note

Though there were no official updates during the media availability, Thuc Nhi Nguyen reported that freshman defensive lineman Boss Tagaloa left practice in a golf cart on Tuesday, with an apparent right ankle sprain.

Speaking of Thuc, thanks to Thuc of the LA Daily News for the videos below!

So, with a new school year starting, I thought I’d write a comic about how this sort of thing bummed out when I was a kid. Turns out I already kinda did a strip about this. Thankfully, this isn’t as egregious as the “Clean Toilet Fiasco.” At least this strip has different jokes.
