And yet many women fi nd themselves cut down, attacked, re- sented and criticized because of their achievements. is can lead to productivity and disengagement issues, alongside absenteeism and turnover, accord- ing to a survey delving into "Tall Poppy Syndrome" (TPS) by Canadian HR Reporter in partnership with Viewpoint Leadership and Women of Infl uence. e perpetrators are almost evenly split between women (31 per cent) and men (27 per cent), or both (41 per cent), found the survey of more than 1,500 people. And the most common ways they cut women down is through cyberbullying (64 per cent), bullying (58), dismissals of achievements (55), calling someone selfi sh or superior (52), taking credit for others' work ACHIEVEMENTS > pg. 8 Travellers to U.S. could face greater scrutiny as of Oct. 17 Canadians linked to cannabis could face lifetime ban: Lawyers BY MARCEL VANDER WIER CANADIAN business travellers may face intensifi ed examination procedures at the United States border following the legalization of recreational cannabis on Oct. 17, according to lawyers. And Canadians connected to the fl edgling cannabis indus- try, or those who have used the drug prior to legalization, may be barred for life from entering the U.S. In British Columbia, there have already been incidents in which workers connected to the canna- bis industry were handed lifetime bans when attempting to cross the border into America, according to the Toronto Star. It's expected to become an even bigger issue following offi cial le- galization later this month, said Len Saunders, an immigration lawyer based in Blaine, Wash. "Guess what's going to happen on Oct. 17? It is going to be a tidal wave of cases," he said. While using cannabis following legalization will not in itself result in a lifetime ban, it could be the basis for a border agent to press a traveller on her past history with the drug — which could result in a ban if it was consumed while it was still an illegal substance, said Saunders.
