The "rant" from @3kdl+1frjDU8W is bang on. Unless you are of value to them, HR is not your friend. Period. Ever. It attracts the lowest of the low. If you are in a situation where you have to engage HR, get everything in writing. Tell them that. If they push back stand your ground. If they contact you via cell phone, have a recording app running and record everything. Canada and Alberta are one consent jurisdictions. So as long as you consent, it's all good and you don't have to tell them anything. They can fire you but you can fire them. Look after YOUR interests.
