Canadian Chat → Re: [Serious] Vaccine Passports now in effect in Ontario

Incidentally, the Ontario Human Rights Commission would agree with that sentiment, as they issued a policy docket last week which states that regardless of whether it's because of a "sincerely held religious belief" or however else you want to couch it, deciding not to get vaccinated is not protected by the human rights laws in this country.

I'm not aware that BC (where I live) has done anything like this, I'm sure it would've been on the news if they had. So I guess by the country you mean the province of Ontario?

(It would be nice if BC did though...)

Ohler said the public needs to understand that the tribunal's powers are strictly defined, and they only involve resolving alleged violations of the B.C. Human Rights Code.

"The code does not protect personal choice or personal preference. The code protects personal characteristics like disabilities or sex or race or gender identity," Ohler said.

"We cannot help people who think their charter rights are being violated. We cannot help people who don't like the government's approach to the pandemic."

I "asked Mr. Google" and got a bunch of hits. Unfortunately the BC Human Rights Tribunal web site vaccine links seem to be down, so I'll link to a CBC interview with Emily Ohler, the chair of the tribunal. »www.cbc.ca/news/canada/b ··· .6188593
