with both fines and prison in the scales

For your information, the human Canadian Rights Commission doesn’t have the power to imprison people…

Actually, they do, as a backup to the fines/damages they assess in cases of "conviction". (I use that word advisedly; these courts are/were sui generis in that they combine the civil and criminal law: I accused the law's writers of attempting to bring criminal charges under civil standards of proof, to lubricate and facilitate "convictions" of persons accused of political ThoughtCrime.)

In the Edmonton case, the accused divine was defiant and swore he wouldn't pay a penny of any levy; which raised the distinct possibility of a prison term for him.

My Canadian cousin-in-law didn't believe me when I told her that imprisonment might be a consequence of his having preached uncut, undiluted Leviticus to the soul-aggrieved catamites; but she conceded after I linked her to an Alberta daily's account of the proceedings, published as they were getting under way.
