Show Notes
Former Alberta Justice Minister Jonathan Denis is suing the provinces human rights commission over a decision to reject his request to remain anonymous in a discrimination case against Tiffany and Company. Denis, who claimed a medical exemption for not wearing a mask due to asthma, was denied accommodation by the jeweler during the COVID pandemic. The human rights tribunal ruled in favor of the jeweler, and Deniss attempts to anonymize the decision were rejected due to public interest. Denis is now seeking a judicial review, arguing that the commission breached their own policies and is demanding costs and damages. The legal battle is ongoing with no hearing date set.
