Hair salon ordered to pay $500 to a non-binary person, they had "Male" and "Female" haircut options

[QuebecOverCanada]

Why is Canada not progressing as much as it could?

The judiciary is in part responsible. This is gross, extortionist and will lead to backlash.

Judges have way too much power in Canada. It's time to clean house.

Quebec hairdressers and businesses must prepare for new accommodations. On February 5, the Human Rights Tribunal ordered a hair salon to pay $500 in compensation to a non-binary person. The latter complained of having suffered serious harm, because he was forced to choose between a man's cup and a female cup. An expert fears a new crisis of reasonable accommodations.

It’s surreal, reacts the co-owner of Station10, Alexis Labrecque, who has three salons in Montreal and Longueuil. We were shocked. We couldn't believe we had to go to court for that, he says, in an interview with Radio-Canada.

For his part, Alexe Frédéric Migneault welcomes a symbolic victory that can give weight to the next requests of this kind: There will be a path that has already been traced.

The court may want to make history, believes Patrick Taillon, a professor at the Faculty of Law of Université Laval who served on the committee of sages on gender identity trained by the Quebec government.

I’m afraid that by trying to hit a big blow, it creates a misunderstanding of how far the reasonable accommodation goes.

This is insane.

[QuebecOverCanada]

This is the "non-binary person" who wanted a haircut by the way;

The name of that "individual" is Alexe Frédéric Migneault. It's a professional activist, who went on a hunger strike because the activist found that "Male" or "Female" on Quebec drivers' licenses was deemed as non inclusive.

That "individual", I wont say what I think about "it", because it could lead to me getting sued, is a professional activist, who made hundreds of lawsuits to extort businesses.

The power of the LGBT movement is immense in Canada. Common sense is lost.

[QuebecOverCanada]

It is currently impossible to find the full details of the decision.

This is very odd!

 

EDIT: There is a delay between the judgment and its publication, apparently it's normal.

Our country sucks sh!t so bad it’s hard to understand how we’ve gotten to this place.  We’re spending a billion dollars on refugee claimants health care while assisting in killing Canadians with diabetes.  We import 10 million people from the third world, completely screwing up housing, healthcare and youth employment.  We’ve added more debt in the last 10 years than all previous governments combined.  We’re spending more money on interest on debt than on health care.  We have a record number of homeless and people using food banks.  Regular people are having trouble affording basic food and shelter.  Our dollar is complete trash.  We have a revolving door justice system.  Our debt servicing is projected to get even worse over the next several years, and somehow the government responsible for all of this continues to govern.  Canada is a sinking ship.  Nothing gets better, and when you point this out, particularly with liberal supporters, they just point to polling numbers.  As if that fixes anything.  It’s so Orwellian.  I’ve never wanted to leave this country until the last few years.  It’s turning into a sh!t hole.

I have to wonder how this would have played out if the salon owner in this case was a Muslim?

This particular judgement is just bad.

Canada has a history of falling further into decadence, unrighteousness, and blatant violation of the teachings of God in the Bible.  God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for their evil behavior.

quote

God judges the evil nations in the Old Testament through various means, including the use of other nations as instruments of judgment. For instance, God allowed Assyria to conquer and exile the Northern Kingdom of Israel due to its idolatry and disobedience. Similarly, God used Babylon to bring judgment upon the Southern Kingdom of Judah for its unfaithfulness. These judgments are part of a broader theme in the Bible where God demonstrates His sovereignty over history and His commitment to justice and righteousness. 

Bible Hub

God's judgment on nations is not only a reflection of His love for order and righteousness but also a reminder of the accountability of nations for their actions. The Bible warns that nations are not above accountability and that God's judgment is an expression of His love for order and righteousness in the world.

Today we will talk about bible verses about God judging nations. Many Christians do not know what this means. The concept of God’s judgment on nations is a significant theme throughout the Bible, reminding us that God holds nations accountable for their actions. Each nation is shaped not only by its leaders but also by the collective actions and attitudes of its people. God desires righteousness and justice, and when nations stray from His ways, they may face His judgment. As we explore these verses, let’s keep our hearts open to God’s message, reflecting on how it applies to us today. We will see that while God is loving and merciful, He is also just and righteous. Be on the mode of meditation as we read through God’s word.

Bible Verses About God Judging Nations

Divine Accountability

In understanding the concept of God judging nations, we see that accountability is a key theme. Just as we hold one another accountable in our personal lives, God holds nations accountable for their actions. Every decision made at the national level can impact millions of lives, and God cares deeply about justice and righteousness. As His people, we need to reflect on how we can contribute to a society that aligns with His values. These verses remind us that nations are not above accountability and that God’s judgment is an expression of His love for order and righteousness in the world.

Psalm 96:13

“Let all creation rejoice before the Lord, for he comes, he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in his faithfulness.” – Psalm 96:13

Isaiah 5:20

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!” – Isaiah 5:20

Jeremiah 18:7-8

“If at any time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be uprooted, torn down, and destroyed, and if that nation I warned repents of its evil, then I will relent and not inflict on it the disaster I had planned.” – Jeremiah 18:7-8

Micah 6:8

“He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” – Micah 6:8

Matthew 12:36

“But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken.” – Matthew 12:36

There is no reason why we still need these agencies. They are a relic of a different time and are of no value. They are also profoundly unfair to those accused, since unlike the accuser, they get no free legal representation and the 'judges' are in almost all cases people way over on the fringe left and tend to side with claimants. And yet they can make hefty punishments against those who offend their sensibilities. Witness that guy in BC who was fined $750k because he believed there is only two genders. And who laid the charge against him? The BC Teachers union. Which is another organization that should not exist.

[ironstone]

With decisions like this one, I have to wonder how far is the reach of the far-left Human Rights Commissions ?

Are massive fines possible for people in here who dare to question gender ideology or the mass graves story? Or any topic dear to the leftists?

"Serious harm". These people are mental. 

Whenever I go to get a hair cut I just tell them what length of blade to use, tell them if its too long, pay and then leave.

Former B.C. school trustee ordered to pay $750K for hate speech, discrimination: human rights tribunal

 

The B.C. Human Rights Tribunal has ordered former Chilliwack school trustee Barry Neufeld to pay $750,000 for violating the Human Rights Code by publishing hate speech and discriminatory content against 2SLGBTQ+ people.

"Mr. Neufeld invoked negative and insidious stereotypes about LGBTQ people, especially trans people, which denied their inherent dignity and, in some cases, reflected the hallmarks of hate against them as a group," the tribunal said in a decision Wednesday.

Neufeld was one of the "loudest critics" against the B.C. government's move in 2017 directing school boards to update codes of conduct to address bullying based on "SOGI," or sexual orientation and gender identity, according to the tribunal’s decision.

"For five years, he publicly denigrated LGBTQ people and teachers and associated them with the worst forms of child abuse," said the tribunal members, adding that the effect was a discriminatory work environment for 2SLGBTQ+ teachers in the district.

[55]           We can think of no better example for how transpeople are denied than this passage. Transpeople are, by definition, people “whose gender identity does not align with the sex assigned to them at birth”: Hansman at para. 12. If a person elects not to “believe” that gender identity is separate from sex assigned at birth, then they do not “believe” in transpeople. This is a form of existential denial: Oger (No. 7) at para. 61. It is not, as Mr. Neufeld argues, akin to religious beliefs. A person does not need to believe in Christianity to accept that another person is Christian. However, to accept that a person is transgender, one must accept that their gender identity is different than their sex assigned at birth.

[56]           As this Tribunal has recognized, “the question of whether transgender people exist and are entitled to dignity in this province is as valuable to ongoing public debate as whether one race is superior to another”: Oger (No. 7) at para. 119. People can and do live beyond the binary. People can and do decide that they were assigned the incorrect gender at birth. Trans people are here, existing in schools and homes and workplaces. As Mr. Hansman characterized it during his testimony, no matter the attempted erasure by some facets of Canadian society, the existence of trans and gender diverse individuals is a fact: “They are there…There are students enrolled in British Columbia public schools who are transgender and non-binary. Likewise, school districts have employees that are transgender and non-binary.”

[57]           Calling transness “gender ideology” allows anti-trans activists to hide behind a veneer of reasonableness. It allows them to say, as Mr. Neufeld did in his statements as well as at the hearing of this complaint, that they are not attacking human beings. They are simply opposing a set of ideas. But behind this insidious veneer is the proposition that transness is not real. Such phrasing can make it easier to ignore that trans people are human beings. Referring to “gender ideology” or “transgenderism” – “-ism” denoting a belief or ideology such as capitalism or communism – pushes the idea that trans people have an agenda rather than being just another demographic group. As this decision illustrates, such terms can create the conditions for discrimination and hatred to flourish.

[58]           In the school context, it is worth noting that trans and gender diverse youth are “especially vulnerable to expression that reduces their worth and dignity in the eyes of society and questions their very identity”: Hansman at para. 9. Dr. Saewyc reported that “sexual minority and gender diverse youth are more likely to report nearly every type of violence and discrimination than their heterosexual and cisgender peers in school”: Ex 3, tab B at p. 5. Higher levels of violence, victimization, and discrimination, including for 2SLGBTQ+ kids, “…are strongly linked to harms that include poorer educational outcomes and poorer mental health…”, including higher rates of depression, anxiety or emotional distress, skipping school, substance misuse, and even suicidality: Ex 3, tab B at pp. 5 and 10. These are the harms that SOGI 1 2 3 was designed to address.
