Ontario tribunal says ethical vegans aren’t protected from discrimination.

In a surprising and troubling decision, the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario has ruled against Adam Knauff, a firefighter who made global headlines for filing a legal case after he faced discrimination for being vegan. The case raised a novel issue—whether a vegan belief system counts as a “creed”, a protected ground under the Ontario Human Rights Code. Mr. Knauff plans to appeal the decision by seeking judicial review in the Divisional Court of Ontario.

    I’m down to discriminate on religious people equally in these situations. I think Muslims should be required to eat bacon to get their residency.
