Spotted out and about today. Here's the IP question: any potential confusion between the "canuck" marks? Likelihood of successful infringement claim if the Vancouver Canucks mark is registered? #iplaw#trademark#canuck
Recent BC LRB decision on the #Starbucks Dunbar closure. Held closure was legitimate though intimidation/coercion of employee union supporter. Interesting as this example came up in my recent labour law lecture. Very comprehensive reasons. #bclab#labourlrb.my.salesforce.com/sfc/p/#f400000…
CLC's statement on use of section 107 of the Canada Labour Code to end lockout and impose binding arbitration: canadianlabour.ca/canadas-unions….
