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.

    Problem is he's filed the complaint with a Canadian Human Rights Tribunal. He'll probably win. Imagine a group of government-appointed rabid ultra-SJWs, and you've got most of the Canadian HRT's.

    It's a good thing they're all in Canada. America is safe.

    Imagine a group of government-appointed rabid ultra-SJWs, and you've got most of the Canadian HRT's.

    Now imagine a whole nation of SJWs, where the people who use "SJW" as a pejorative term are a vanishingly small minority, and you have got Canada, or, for that matter, the United States. SJWs are like 97% of the population. Everyone is in favor of social justice, except for the Loony fringe, which in Canada is composed of mostly actual Loons [wikipedia.org]!
