The Canadian Bar Association of British Columbia wrote about HRT delays in “Systemic Delays at the BC Human Rights Tribunal” “Relevant witnesses may no longer be available. Memories have faded, and important evidence may no longer exist. Some respondents have argued that these delays compromise the fairness of human rights proceedings and amount to an abuse of process.” Hitch v. Nanaimo (Regional District) and others, 2025 BCHRT 11 [3] Ms. Hitch filed her human rights complaint on September 13, 2021. Due to systemic institutional delays, the Tribunal did not give the Respondents notice of the complaint until 31 months later – on April 25, 2024. The Respondents argue that this delay has compromised the fairness of the proceeding and amounts to an abuse of process. They ask the Tribunal to dismiss or stay the complaint. Hitch v. Nanaimo (Regional District) appears to still be active.

20. The IIPA came into force on January 29, 2024. This means the act did not have legal effect until that date. I acknowledge that IIPA section 23 says the act retroactively applies to distributions that occurred after the act’s first reading, which was March 6, 2023. However, the applicant could not apply to the CRT for protection orders and damages until the legislation came into force. Put another way, the applicant could not apply for remedies under the IIPA until it took effect on January 29, 2024. Given this, I find the applicant could not reasonably know that a CRT proceeding was available for these statutory remedies until January 29, 2024. 21. If I accepted the respondents’ argument that the limitation period started running before the IIPA came into force, it would mean claims that arose on March 6, 2023, would only have a 13-month window for a party to bring a claim. A principle of statutory interpretation is that the legislature does not intend to produce absurd consequences. See Rizzo & Rizzo Shoes Ltd. (Re), 1998 CanLII 837 (SCC) at paragraph 27. Without a clear intention to do so, I find it would be absurd if the legislature intended to reduce the limitation period for these claims. So, I find January 29, 2024, was the date the applicant discovered her claim. This means she needed to apply to the CRT for dispute resolution by January 29, 2026. 22. For the damages claim, the applicant submitted a Dispute Notice on January 22, 2026. However, I find she did not satisfy the requirements for applying to the CRT until March 10, 2026. To apply for dispute resolution, CRTA section 4(2) and CRT Rule 2.1(1) say an applicant must both give the CRT a completed CRT Dispute Application Form, and they must pay the required fee. Here, the applicant did not pay the application fee until March 10, 2026. 23. I acknowledge that the CRT did not request payment for CRT fees until February 24, 2026. However, this does not change that the applicant was obligated …

Despite the high rates of IPV in our society, human rights law in BC and across Canada has rarely addressed discrimination against IPV survivors in the workplace. This case is an opportunity for the BC Human Rights Tribunal (the Tribunal to consider how the gendered and systemic nature of IPV can lead to workplace discrimination, affecting survivors’ economic security and equality. It may also clarify what obligation employers have to accommodate workers who are impacted by IPV and recognize their distinct needs in the workplace.
[13] Soon after beginning in the role of CLEC, the Worker says she disclosed to TSML that she had been in a five-year long abusive relationship with an RCMP officer, during which she experienced physical, sexual and emotional abuse, including threats of injury and financial ruin. She says it was with the support of her supervisor that she decided to leave the relationship and report her ex-partner to the police

“Pornography, manifested today in the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology … is as addictive as any illicit drug and as psychologically destructive as any crime. Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned. Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.”
“AI is here. The question is whether it will improve the lives of all Canadians or benefit only a few. AI can shorten our emergency room wait times and make a small business more competitive, if it is governed by Canadian values with a clear goal of improving the lives of all Canadians. That’s why we need an ambitious new strategy: AI for All. We will build trust so that all Canadians are empowered to use this technology safely and with confidence. AI that builds Canada strong for all: that is our mission.” The Rt. Hon. Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada

15 Section 56 (6) is repealed and the following substituted: (6) Subject to subsection (8), an inquiry into a matter under review must be completed within 90 days after receiving the request for the review, unless the commissioner (a) specifies a later date, and (b) notifies the following persons of the date specified under paragraph (a): (i) the person who made the request; (ii) the head of the public body concerned; (iii) any person given a copy of the request.
12 Section 43 is amended (a) by adding the following paragraph: (a.1) the behaviour of the applicant is abusive or malicious, , and (b) by striking out "or" at the end of paragraph (b) and by repealing paragraph (c) and substituting the following: (c) responding to the request would unreasonably interfere with the operations of (i) the public body, or (ii) the ministry of the minister responsible for this Act, or (d) the request is (i) an abuse of the right to make a request under section 5 or 29 because the request is repetitious or systematic, or (ii) excessively broad.
Cooper made headlines last year when he shared a meme on social media that is widely considered to be transphobic. An integrity commissioner investigation was launched after Cooper posted an image on his personal Facebook account on Jan. 22. The image featured a person with teal hair along with the text, “He took my pronouns! I have to live in reality now!” The image was published around the same time that U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order stating the U.S. government would only recognize a person’s sex as male or female. The integrity commissioner said they received a large number of complaints about the post. After months of work, the investigation determined the Facebook post demeaned a specific group of people and did not uphold Cambridge’s Code of Conduct requirements. The integrity commissioner recommended council formally reprimand Cooper and suspend his pay for ten days. Ultimately council voted in favour of the reprimand and a requirement that Cooper complete sensitivity training. He has never publicly apologized for the post.
Complaints process CPSBC will continue to handle the intake of complaints and subsequent investigations; however, it will no longer determine disciplinary outcomes. Under the HPOA, a discipline tribunal will be formed, led by an independent director of discipline. The director will be appointed by the minister of health and will be housed within the Health Professions and Occupations Regulatory Oversight Office. The director will create independent panels to determine disciplinary action for misconduct. The discipline panel must consist of one licensee, a member of the public, and a specialist in the area of concern. Colleges will be responsible for enforcing the disciplinary orders decided by the discipline panel.

Fictional evil corporations with their logos containing rainbows, a cynical commentary.
The law should not be based on feelings. It must be grounded in objective reality. We cannot allow subjective identity claims to override facts, free speech, or the protection of women and children.
