There are a number of subtleties in a case of racial profiling by an employee of Shoppers Drug Mart that has recently been disposed of by the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal. For many, the most striking aspect will one that is not subtle — the rather rude behaviour of the employee. But the tribunal found that there had been racial profiling “consciously or unconsciously” without it seems any language or specific act (apart from rudeness) that might have led to such a decision. It happened in the evening at the Shoppers Drug Mart Bloor St and Spadina Rd. in 2011. Metro News
