Human Right Code ensures equal rights based on anything

Apparently, the Ontario Human Rights Code prohibits discrimination and ensures equal opportunity based on not just enumerated grounds like race, gender and age, but also... anything else!

Left-handed underwater basket-weavers, get ready to file some human rights complaints.
