Ontario (Human Rights Commission) v Etobicoke (Borough of)
Ontario (Human Rights Commission) v Etobicoke (Borough of), [1982] 1 S.C.R. 202 is a leading Supreme Court of Canada decision on age discrimination. Several firemen challenged a mandatory retirement policy under the Ontario Human Rights Code. The Court found that the employer did not sufficiently justify the policy as a bona fide occupational requirement.
Background
Harold Hall and Vincent Gray were firemen in the borough of Etobicoke, Ontario. As part of the collective agreement between the borough and the union, all firefighters were required to retire at the age of 60. When Hall and Grey were forced to retire they brought a complaint for age discrimination under section 4(1) of the Ontario Human Rights Code which prohibited discrimination in recruitment or dismissal based on age among other grounds.
The respondents defended their actions by arguing that the rule was a bona fide occupational requirement (BFOR). Namely, that the rule was required to maintain an acceptable standard for firefighting.

Newly-elected MPP Michael Kerzner has been named solicitor general, replacing Jones, while Ford's nephew Michael has been named minister of citizenship and multiculturalism. Hamilton-area MP Neil Lumsden was also named to cabinet after he took a long-held NDP seat in the region.
Only a handful of former ministers did not return, including Lisa MacLeod and Ross Romano.
There are seven women in Ford’s cabinet, down from nine in his previous one.
The Tories won 83 of the legislature's 124 seats, which provided Ford with dozens of potential cabinet picks.

Jones made the announcement alongside Premier Doug Ford.
Pediatric hospitals across Ontario have been reporting a wave of critically ill pediatric patients which has led to never-before-seen demand for emergency rooms — forcing health-care facilities to redeploy resources to manage patient volumes.
Some children’s hospitals in the country are running at occupancy rates of over 100 per cent amid a rise in viral illnesses that are typically seen in the fall and winter.
Ford also said that his government would not use the notwithstanding clause to fight a court ruling that struck down a law that limits wages for public sector workers, though called the ruling "very interesting" and that the government would appeal. He said there's "precedent" and wants to "go through the process."
He also addressed auditor general Bonnie Lysyk's recent annual report, in particular focusing on her comments about Ontario's casinos. Lysyk said the province's gambling agency needed to improve safeguards against money laundering. Ford said she "has to stay in her lane" after it was reported she hired "mystery shoppers" for a sting operation at four Ontario casinos, which angered the provincial police. Ford added Lysyk should focus on "value for money."
