- Raphael Alexander: Human rights outrages, Canada-style
-
Although truth be told, I’d call in the military if I couldn’t get a Timmy’s I’d lined up for:
A man from Lower Sackville, N.S., says he will take Tim Hortons to the Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission because he can no longer get his coffee.
Dave Matthews needs a motorized scooter to get around because of a physical disability.
He used to get his coffee at the Tim Hortons drive-thru in Lower Sackville. But at a new location, in Bedford, he ran into trouble.
The attendant wouldn’t serve him because of a company policy banning pedestrians, bicycles, and wheelchairs, including motorized scooters, from using the drive-thru. Matthews says that means no coffee for him, because he can’t manoeuvre his scooter through the front door.
An inconvenience? A public complaint to a corporation? Worthy of calling the city for required access bylaws?
Yes, yes and yes.
A “human rights” complaint? Only in Canada.

About Me
- Unhypentated Canadian
- I lean to the right but I still have a heart and if I have a mission it is to respond to attacks on people not available to protect themselves and to point out the hypocrisy of the left at every opportunity.MY MAJOR GOAL IS HIGHLIGHT THE HYPOCRISY AND STUPIDITY OF THE LEFTISTS ON TORONTO CITY COUNCIL. Last word: In the final analysis this blog is a relief valve for my rants/raves.
