Welcome to my world!You'll remember the story of John Fulton from St. Catherines, who had a "lady with junk" as they say, try to get into the women's change room at the health club. Looks like the Canadian Constitutional Foundation is stepping up and helping Mr. Fulton fight the outrageous OHR complain against him:
"The Canadian Constitution Foundation is a non-profit organization that protects constitutional freedoms through education and public interest litigation. It has agreed to help Fulton raise funds for his defence, expected to cost as much as $100,000. "They've basically said they'll help fund this all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary," Fulton said.
The complainant's legal fees are borne by the Ontario Human Rights Commission.
Fulton has owned and operated fitness clubs in the Niagara area since 1982. He said his clubs have supported the Niagara AIDS Walk for Life as a title sponsor for more than 12 years. "This is clearly a David and Goliath case: a small business being prosecuted by the might of the state," lawyer John Carpay, executive director of the Canadian Constitution Foundation, said Tuesday. "This case also involves freedom of association, which is a fundamental charter right enjoyed by all Canadians."
