The stories get more and more outrageous

If you owned a restaurant and someone started smoking marijuana on your doorstep and you asked that individual to butt out, would you expect to have to fight the Ontario Human Rights Commission for the next three years?

The Toronto Sun unearthed the grueling tale of Ted Kindos:

The confrontation between Kindos and his customer three years ago may be the catalyst to change national laws, or it could ruin him.

Kindos has already spent nearly $20,000 of his own cash, and estimates he could spend upwards of $150,000 more fighting an Ontario Human Rights Commission complaint launched by Steve Gibson, who is licensed to smoke marijuana by the feds to manage the chronic pain of a neck injury that has kept him out of work since 1989.

Fighting the case, which will be heard by the province's Human Rights Tribunal in May, could send Kindos' business into bankruptcy and is playing hell with his health, he said.

"If this thing goes to the tribunal, that's it, we're done. Our restaurant is done," he said. "We've already been told we can't win.

Pete Vere comments on the Sault Ste. Marie Today website:

Just when I thought the Ontario Human Rights Commission had plumbed the sewers of political pandering to their lowest depths, Ezra Levant brings to light the plight of Ted Kindos - an Ontario restaurant owner who is being investigated by the commission for asking a pot-smoking customer to butt out.

Nevertheless, I find it eerie that the Ontario Human Rights Commission, which refuses to investigate seniors allegedly being left in soiled diapers for 24-hour periods at a time, not only found the time and resources necessary to investigate this case, but referred it to the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal for a hearing.

I dunno. No wonder the tide of public opinion is becoming a tsunami against these kinds of abuses.
