An apparently obnoxious restaurant employee in Vancouver BC has filed a human rights complaint claiming that he has been discriminated against because he's "too French." CBC News reports that Guillaume Rey has filed a complaint at the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal against Milestones Restaurant and its parent company, Cara Operations, where he worked as a waiter from October 2015 to August 2016. Rey says his co-workers misinterpreted his "direct, honest and professional" French personality.
Although Rey was reportedly well-liked by customers, on several occasions he was disciplined and warned about how he treated his colleagues, which the restaurant described as "combative and aggressive." Rey was fired for violating the company's Respect in the Workplace policy.
Rey might want to look closely at another recent decision, in which the Human Rights Tribunal decided that a local "'Brash, loud and obnoxious gay male' doesn't have right to (send) rude emails" to his local city council.

Or else what?
Like it or not, bitching is protected under the right to free speech.
You don't need to listen to him, but then again you can't stop him bitching.
Just sayin'.

" ...you can't stop him bitching."

Ahh, but you are not necessarily correct, grasshopper.
Quick story :
Years ago I was confronted at a popular beach on Cape Hatteras by a guy who wanted to park his car right next to my car, despite the fact that I was engaged in setting up sailing gear in that empty spot and there were 20+ other empty parking spots within 50 yards. Now, this character pulls up and says : "You must move your stuff, I want to park there !". The guy had Quebec license plates. I may indeed have moved for him if he had asked nicely, but his rudeness meant there was no way I was moving. So I told the guy : "I was here first, I am NOT moving, and you need to find some other parking spot".
So then the guy gets out of his car and starts to get aggressive and starts yelling at me. At this point I said : "Listen, asshole, if you push this, I will kick your ass and you will find yourself in jail in a country that is not yours, because I have witnesses and you don't"
That shut him up and he left immediately. The point of this story is that if you have a pair of balls between your legs, you absolutely CAN shut people up when they are acting like jerks. Maybe you're a coward, but I was damned if I was going to be pushed around in my own country by some asshole who was a guest in my country. So not only did I succeed in shutting that fucker up, I sent him down the road with his tail between his legs. You are free to judge my actions if you like, just be aware that I do not give the slightest fuck what you think. I'd do the same thing again in a heartbeat. I am a friendly guy, but no one pushes me around, unless they have a badge and a gun.

But I'm not necessary wrong. You may be able to stop some of them but:
- you'll not be able to stop all of them - e.g. some decades ago, the average Joe would consider "gay rights activists" bitchers. They, as a group, still had the right to free speech.
- you'll not be able to stop every one of them, not everyone will be intimidated.

Not always. It did not work during the debates. And despite what you say, it was not enough for Hillary to win.
