Looks like he has some competition for being the jackpot winner at the Canadian Human Rights kangaroo courts. His competition is a transexual.

A lawyer from Quebec City says she was dumped as a federal New Democratic Party candidate because she is transgendered.

Micheline Montreuil alleges she was told by an NDP official that her sexuality hindered party attempts to woo new Quebec candidates into the fold.

When I began reading, it looked as if Layton & Co. may have some hypocrisy omelette stuck to their faces. But alas, turns out this "lady" has played the HRC Wheel of Fortune before:

Meanwhile, if Ms. Montreuil heads to court, it wouldn't be the first time.

Last month, the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal ruled the Canadian Forces discriminated against Ms. Montreuil in 2003, when it passed her up for a job as a grievance officer.

The tribunal ruled Ms. Montreuil's sexuality was the real reason she didn't get the position and awarded her $40,000.

She won a similar case in 2004 when the same tribunal ruled against the National Bank for failing to hire Ms. Montreuil as a customer service representative.

Good thing, too. Sex changes and hormone treatments can be expensive, and s/he seems to have a good plan for getting it all paid off...
