Weekly Market Snapshot: Yields at Multi-Decade Highs, Oil Eases on Hormuz Hopes — Week of Sept. 22–26, 2026

Week of September 22–26, 2026 It was a week of two forces tugging in opposite directions. Bond yields surged to levels not seen since 2004–2007, driven by resilient US economic data, hawkish Fed signals, and oil-driven inflation fears — putting pressure on equities and the Canadian dollar. Then, late in the week, reports emerged that US and Iranian negotiators were exploring a phased deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Dollarama's Expansion: New Opportunities and Employee Rights in Ontario

 

Dollarama is set to significantly expand its presence in Canada, aiming to open hundreds of new stores over the next decade. This ambitious plan is expected to create numerous employment opportunities across the country, particularly in Ontario. However, as the company grows, it's crucial for potential employees to be aware of their rights under Ontario's Employment Standards Act (ESA).


Here are three key rights that non-unionized workers should know:

1. No Rush to Sign Employment Contracts: Employees are not required to sign an employment contract immediately upon receiving a job offer. It's advisable to consult with an employment lawyer to ensure that the contract protects your rights.

2. Severance Pay During Probation: Even if you're fired during a probationary period, you might still be entitled to severance pay. The presence of a "probation clause" in your contract does not necessarily negate this right.

3. Inducement and Severance Entitlements: If you're recruited from another job and then terminated shortly after, you may be entitled to additional severance pay due to the inducement.

As Dollarama continues its expansion, understanding these rights can help employees navigate their employment journey with confidence and security.
