Welcome to 2023

One of my favourite quotes is by Eleanor Roosevelt: "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." This quote emphasizes the power that lies within each of us. We can choose how we respond to situations and people, and no one can make us feel bad unless we permit them. Remembering this quote when we're feeling down and discouraged can help us regain control of our thoughts and feelings. It reminds us that, ultimately, we are in charge of our own lives and that no one else can determine how we feel unless we allow them to.

This quote also reminds us that we should remember our self-worth and unique value. No matter what someone else may think or say about us, we must never forget how special and valuable we are in the eyes of ourselves, our loved ones, and the universe. We have a right to be here and have the power to create lives that make us happy and fulfilled.

Welcome to 2023. Make this your best year ever.

Keywords: self-worth, unique value, power, control, consent, thoughts and feelings.

What is CASL

GeneralEdward Kiledjian

The Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) went into effect on July 1st, 2014. Designed to protect Canadians from unwanted commercial electronic messages (CEMs), it applies to all businesses that send CEMs - including emails, text messages, and social media messages.

As a result of the law, CEMs cannot be sent unless the recipient has consented to receive them, and businesses that violate the law may be penalized. Additionally, businesses are required to include their contact information in all CEMs and to provide recipients with a means of unsubscribing from future messages.

For businesses that violate the law, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) can impose significant fines - up to $1 million per violation.

t is intended to protect Canadians from these threats and to help businesses ensure that they only send CEMs to those who have consented to receive them.

Some businesses have complained that the law imposes undue burdens on them. In spite of this, the government has defended the law, stating that it is necessary to protect Canadians from electronic threats.

You can find additional information about CASL on the website of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). It is the responsibility of the CRTC to enforce the law and to provide resources and information to businesses and consumers. The website includes links to relevant legislation, FAQs, and contact information for the CRTC. Consumers and businesses may also file complaints with the CRTC if they believe that a business has violated the law.

Description: The Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) is a law that went into effect on July 1st, 2014 in order to protect Canadians from unwanted commercial electronic messages (CEMs). This law applies to all businesses that send CEMs, including emails, text messages, and social media messages. Some key points of the law are that businesses must have consent from the recipient in order to send them a CEM, businesses must include their contact information in all CEMs, and recipients must be given a way to unsubscribe from future messages. There are significant fines in place for businesses that violate the law - up to $1 million per violation. The CASL was created due to growing concerns about spam, spyware, and other electronic threats. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) is responsible for enforcing the law and providing resources and information to businesses and consumers on their websites. Complaints can be filed with the CRTC if someone believes a business has violated the law.
