This guy would like to turn away disabled people in favor of Christians, if he can figure out how to legally do it.
Any Christian-only housing would turn away disabled people in favor of Christians, just like 45+ condos turn away disabled people in favor of people over 45.
These situations don't make the news because of course everyone understands that if a building's rules specify a certain kind of tenant (Christian, 45+), then people who don't meet that criteria don't get in.
It seems its only when Muslims do what everyone else does that there are news stories and condemnation.

Are the others gov't subsidized, if so it should not be allowed. Considering that the building the disabled man was turned away from, is subsidized housing, it should never be okay. Gov't should never condone discrimination should they.

According to the article, yes they are.
QuoteThe City’s mandate policy allows social housing providers to restrict their housing to individuals belonging to an identifiable ethnic or religious group if specific conditions are met,” says a statement provided by city spokesperson John Gosgnach.
There are eight such buildings in Toronto, catering to Muslims, Macedonians, Germans and seniors who are Christian, Chinese, Greek, Hungarian or Lithuanian.
So come on, let's see your status update about those nasty Lithuanians, who would disallow a disabled non-Lithuanian from accessing their services.
