  • I have no legal experience but empathize and want to share some ideas.
    Can you afford to pay full legal fees for representation?
    Do you have a union or professional organization that can provide guidance?
    Does the nature of your work require a labour lawyer who specializes in that area? (e.g., military maybe?)

    Know how much you can afford (e.g., if you are ‘pro bono’ case) to include this when you reach out. Search for free/inexpensive (labour-related) legal clinics, search for worker/ employment/ disability (if that applies to you) advocacy groups and ask them for lawyer suggestions. How about emailing a local law school? Consider relaxing the ‘in my geographical area’ criterion if you’re not getting any results.

    If you can get a knowledgeable and affordable lawyer anywhere in Canada willing to take your case on remotely, and you can e-meet with them - that seems pretty good too. Best of luck, friend! Hopefully some more knowledgeable heads than mine chime in here!


  • You’re probably right that testing for hallucinogens isn’t part of a standard employer drug test, but there’s nothing standard about pro sports drug testing. AFAIK, employer drug testing outside of pro sports is all about safety. But pro sports forbid performance-enhancing drugs. They also punish players suspected of not trying hard enough to win (e.g., load management, involvement with gambling). I hope we learn more to clarify this, although I respect PG’s privacy. The league probably can’t disclose this info, but he probably can if he chooses to














  • Damn dude, you raise an impressive “please block me, your Lemmy experience will only be enhanced” argument.

    due to food shortages and much more limited food variety

    That is “CLEARLY explained why the study is bogus”? Get real. You revealed you don’t even know who’s behind the study. So, you demonstrate little evidence of providing valid insight and not ignorant, poorly-informed speculation. And you’re rude.

    May we enjoy our separate Lemmy experiences henceforth
