My wife has been diagnosed with cancer. I commute 50 km to work. I've been passed over for a transfer closer to my house multiple times. I've given a certificate for family care and been denied days off. I am the highest in seniority on my shift with almost 7 years. What are my legal options?

You may be able to treat the refusal to accommodate you as a constructive dismissal. This would allow you to leave and get your full severance. There may also be human rights issues here. Please give me a call to discuss before you do anything.
