The Ontario Human Rights Code (Code) recognizes the inherent dignity and worth of every person and provides for equal rights and opportunities without discrimination. The provisions of the Code are aimed at creating a climate of understanding and mutual respect for the dignity and worth of each person, so that each person feels a part of the community and feels able to contribute to the community.

Le 24 octobre 2016, des chercheurs de l’Université York ont publié leur analyse des données relatives à la race recueillies par le Service de police d’Ottawa (SPO) lors des contrôles routiers effectués[1]. Le Projet de collecte de données fondées sur la race aux contrôles routiers (PCDFRCR) du SPO a vu le jour à la suite du dépôt d’une plainte relative aux droits de la personne contre la CSPO par un résident d’Ottawa.
From: Under suspicion: Research and consultation report on racial profiling in Ontario
…[R]acial profiling occurs and is a day-to-day reality in the lives of those minorities affected by it.
…[R]acial profiling cannot be tolerated. It is offensive to fundamental concepts of equality and the human dignity of those who are subject to negative stereotyping. It fuels negative and destructive racial stereotyping of those who are subjected to profiling.

Never, in a million years did I think our public education system would pick and choose which children are worth helping and shrug their shoulders and leave others behind.

Depuis lors, de nombreux développements juridiques et sociaux ont eu lieu.

From: Policy on preventing discrimination based on mental health disabilities and addictions
Discrimination may take many different forms. For example, it may take place in a direct way. It can happen when individuals or organizations specifically exclude people in rental housing, employment or services, withhold benefits that are available to others, or impose extra burdens that are not imposed on others, without a legitimate or bona fide reason. This discrimination is often based on negative attitudes, stereotypes and bias about people with mental health or addiction disabilities.
From: Policy on preventing discrimination because of pregnancy and breastfeeding
