An Ontario firefighter alleges his human rights were violated when he was not provided sufficient vegan food while battling a massive blaze in British Columbia.
Adam Knauff has filed a complaint with the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario against his employer, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, over his treatment and subsequent suspension while fighting a fire near William’s Lake, B.C., in 2017.
“The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry discriminated against me and failed to accommodate my sincerely held ethical beliefs (creed) when it failed to provide me with food that accommodated my personal commitment to ethical veganism, and then disciplined me and suspended me because I attempted to assert my right to accommodation of that sincerely held ethical belief,” he wrote in his application to the tribunal.
The ministry, in its response, denied Knauff’s allegations of discrimination and human rights violations.
The case centres on whether veganism is a form of creed — the definition of which was expanded by the Human Rights Tribunal in 2015 to include non-secular beliefs. (snip)

You walk in to a room full of people.
How do you tell which one is vegan?
There have always been “Look at me!!!!!!!!!!!!” morons, we just didn’t used to take them seriously.
“Thanks for the quail, God, but you have anything more, um, vegan?”
The one that looks like they just got released from the gulag
You don’t.
They tell YOU.
I belong to a religion that eats only Filet Mignon.

They skinny, pasty one that is whining is usually a good clue...............
What a hoser.
He’s in a Forrest. Plenty of vegan stuff to eat there.
The Canadian Armed Forces have vegetarian MREs that they could have supplied to the man.
You won’t have to guess... It’ll make itself known, along with the crossfitter and the atheist.
