The man alleged discrimination on the grounds that his disability was not accommodated — via TheGrowthOp

The man was seeking the removal of all bylaw fines and warning letters, an order that the strata not “pursue or enforce” his neighbours’ complaints about his cannabis use, reimbursement of $1,000 for a cedar privacy hedge installed along his backyard fence line, $5,000 in damages and an additional reimbursement of $1,120 in legal fees.Article content

In a counterclaim, the strata requested an order that the man ceases smoking cannabis in areas where the smoke may enter neighbouring properties. In explaining the decision, the tribunal noted that while the strata has no bylaws specifically restricting smoking or cannabis use, the man’s use of cannabis is a nuisance to his neighbours, which is contrary to two of the strata’s other bylaws.Article content

The decision notes multiple times that “there is no persuasive medical evidence in this case” that establishes the man must smoke cannabis, rather than ingest it in another form. The man argued that edibles and oils have a long onset time and smoking cannabis is the fastest way to manage his symptoms.

IIO clears RCMP Const. Shaelyn Yang in shooting homeless man in Burnaby parkConst. Shaelyn Yang shot a homeless man and was stabbed and later died during a check in a Burnaby park in October. Times Colonist, you need to correct your story. Constable Yang was stabbed first then shot the man. Exactly!! Get it right. Why would they even need to review this. And silly question, but how would they refer this to crown anyways for charges ? She is, unfortunately, no longer with us, which is sad for her just doing her job.
