    Again, that we just an example I made up, not based on anything.

    However, the Canadian Forces has University of Service, which does allow it to limit employment based on employment limitations. For example, if you can’t pass the fitness test, you can’t stay in. Specific jobs also have further medical requirements (i.e. pilots need pretty good eyesight, infantrees need to be able to walk far with weight, submariners can’t be claustrophobic, etc). So they can’t ask what particular malfunctions are, but they can release you for having them.

      Yeah, I forgot to explicitly agree it was contrived.

      And you make an excellent point about limiting employment. I’m not sure how the private sector runs that and I don’t wanna touch it, but in the forces we did have a guy bounced out on medical because his was a field position and it turned out he was allergic to like everything green in ontario. ‘heli-evac with breathing issues’ kind of allergic. So I’ve seen that precedent on that side of the fence, at least.
