I am scared just watching him playing around the main breaker with everything live besides.

I’m a fan, but I’m EET, not an electrician. Don’t hate me.

Canadian Electrical Code violations
12-608 cable not mechanically secured to panel
12-610 (1)(a) - no anti-short bushing on armored cable
12-3034 - table 23 allows 4x #10 wires in that box, I count 8 (6 wire, 2 for the switch)
62-110 - that circuit should only be feeding the heater, not that receptacle as well
62-202 - i didn't see if the heater had an integral thermostat, if not it will need one
I'm sure i missed some too
14-50R on #10 wire
Well he still only has a 30A breaker so the cable is protected, but it will most likely trip if he uses 50A on the outlet. Not good, but I don't see a big problem with that point.
It only won't work as intended and lead to excessive tripping of the breaker and might lead to breaker failure though.
