Just for clarification, assuming you're referring to the Mike Ward case, these charges stemmed from the Human Rights Tribunal of Quebec, not the Canadian Federal Government. This type of thing (to my knowledge) is fairly unique to Quebec at this point in time, and is not a common occurrence in Canada. Appalling nonetheless.
