Having been through something somewhat similar it's very frustrating as an employee. Severance is great, but even getting 3 weeks per year you worked there doesn't seem all that helpful if job prospects are grim.
I feel like there needs to be more protection for employees. Again, severance is great, but in this case you were kicked to the curb just so they could hire their buddy? Maybe talking to an employment lawyer would open up another road for you to go with this but that's a pretty expensive can of worms.

I can reach out to the Central Alberta Community Legal Clinic and find a 30 minute consultation session free of charge.Outside of that, I can contact my original legal counsel from May and see what can be done. He has been great throughout this and really understands the situation.
Maybe it's worth just a few more free consultations with legal counsel?
Also, I think this will be addressed to my local MLAs. I've been vocal in supporting one, and I know both of them personally. May be worth a shot.
It means a lot that posters like yourself and Naga Waza get the human aspect of this and are willing to show support. Thanks.
