A Mississauga businesswoman whose home was ordered seized to pay an Ontario Human Rights Tribunal award to a former employee can keep her house — for now. […] That October 2009 decision ordered Telfer to pay $36,000 to a woman who had been her employee for six weeks. Lawyers wanted the sheriff to seize and sell Telfer’s home to collect the money.
The woman who lodged the complaint, Seema Saadi, told the tribunal she felt pressured to wear skirts and heels instead of her hijab. Saadi also said Telfer complained about the smell of food that she warmed in the microwave.

As I said over at Blazing Cat Fur, it is nice to finally have it on record that Muslim + straight + female trumps Black + straight + female in the Human Rights Commission official pecking order.
Now, as to the dreaded discriminatory microwave policy outlined above, and in keeping with the “best practices” on food allergy and health regulations I have found the solution!
NO FOOD IN THE WORKPLACE. At all. Ever.
It isn’t enough to simply remove the microwave and refrigerator, because some pinhead will find a way to make that discrimination against something. You have to go whole hog, as it were. No brown bags, no coffee pot, no tea kettle, no Timmies, no Starbucks. Eat in your car or in a snowbank. Short of nuking the place from orbit, its the only way to be -sure- there are no allergic reactions you see. Added bonus, it prevents mice.
Solving the clothing issue: company Mc-uniforms! Pants, golf shirt, ball-cap. No makeup, no perfume. Condition of employment. No uniform, no paycheck.
See? Just make your business such that everything that is not required is forbidden. Leftist utopia.
Or we could JAIL the HRC for abuse of power, that would work too.
Phantom – Muslim trumps gay trumps Black trumps other minority (not counting Jewish, natch) trumps Female trumps disabled.
God this “case” p*sses me off. Thankfully it made it to a real court. These HRCs need to be abolished.
They nearly took the woman’s house!?!
Hey, are any of you HRC goons reading this? How do you live with yourselves?
Mamba, next up, we find out if Muslim + gay + female trumps Muslim + straight + female. That’ll be interesting.
Yes they are reading this, you may be sure. They even troll here sometimes. They are the new camp guards of our modern Canadian Values(TM) and their strength is as the strength of ten for their hearts are pure.
Plus you know, it isn’t really their fault. They were just following orders.
I cannot believe the level of Islamophobic comments made here.
Why the personal assaults on an adjudicator’s person? Is it because you are all so uneducated that you cannot read the decision yourselves and rely on a couple of media reports or a few lines written in this blog?
Canadians are dupes to the media and their own racism. Shame on all of you.
The judge from the Ontario Superior Court had to make up reasons to establish a ‘patent unreasonable’ finding to overturn the decision. It is a high standard to meet. If you want to talk about identity politics, how about we delve into our judicial system, which some of you see as the ‘real’ system to ensure justice.

“I cannot believe the level of Islamophobic comments made here…….. Is it because you are all so uneducated.”
Is Islamophobic even a real word, or did you just make it up with all your education? Possibly you yourself “rely on a couple of media reports”.
A Phobia is an irrational fear while no fear of real dangers is a clear symptom of Autism.
My comments about never hiring a Muslim would be “Islamophobic” as you put it, if I had an irrational fear of hiring a Muslim because no harm could come out of it. The facts and historical precedence set by the CHRC prove that taking on a Muslim as an employer is dangerous to your business and personal finances. That is not an irrational fear, it is a proven danger therefore not phobic in the least. Read more actual CHRC rulings, or Ezra Levant’s book “Shakedown”.
The same rationality would apply to all countries and people that have problems with Muslims from labor policies to border wars. Are the people of Thailand really “Islamophobic” with the cross border Muslim bombings and murders? Russia, India, Philippines, Sudan, Israel, to name a few others with similar phobic disorders.
Why in Western countries would it be “Islamophobic” to not want mass rioting and carbeques in the streets as does France? The epidemic gang rapes in Sweden & Norway by way of ‘muslim youth” seems to be an irrational fear these days.
Your hit and run smear tactics have no value here.
