Talk:Human Rights Code (Ontario)

Web Link

Ontario E-Laws don't provide a permalink for legislation; you have to search by name from the main site. Even the OHRC official page gets this wrong. Not quite sure how to proceed --scruss 21:48, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

I provided updated URLs that should work, at least for a while. PKT (talk) 19:24, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

You can link to the most recent version of a law. You cannot permalink to a particular version of a law. Legend of 14 (talk) 02:09, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

I have assigned an initial quality rating of "Start", but the article is in between Stub and Start, IMO. It could use some background information and possibly some media references to debates that took place at the time. I have also moved its importance to "Mid" (from Low) which is debatable - the legislation is a reflection of Ontario's society, at least in theory. PKT (talk) 19:24, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Content

I removed this passage because it lacked citations and seems to fail the neutral point of view criteria, either because of undue weight, bias, etc.

Since the 1980s, much controversy has arisen through the use of this Code. Many decisions handed down by the Ontario Human Rights Commission illustrate the prevailing political climate in Ontario, which prefers to err on the side of protecting the rights of foreign cultures, rather than preserving Canadian customs, culture and rights.

Should we remove this passage?

"The HRTO stated it that it had no jurisdiction to ordinary people human rights abuse complaint. People^[who?] disagree with HRTO think the principle and intention of the Human Rights Code (Ontario) are to protect public, not just people with protected grounds from human rights abuse." The first part makes no sense, and the second part lacks citation. Legend of 14 (talk) 02:06, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
