Brickbat: Don’t Go

The Nova Scotia
Human Rights Commission has ruled that the Alehouse, a Halifax bar,
discriminated against an immigrant from Sierra Leone
by calling
the police on him. When asked for ID, Dino Gilpin produced
several different forms of ID but did not have a valid drivers
license, the only ID the Alehouse will accept, so the bar refused
to admit him. When Gilpin refused to leave, management called the
cops to remove him. The commission ruled the bar’s refusal to admit
Gilpin without one specific form of ID was not racist, but it said
calling the cops on him was.
