This includes books, spoken word, and your blog. Advocate free speech and fight censorship by blogging on September 26th. Talk about your favorite banned or frequently challenged book, what your intellectual freedom means to you, and/or the importance of your First Amendment rights!

They threatened you so you would leave. That way they don't have to pay you.

2, HOW YOU CAN DEFINE HUMAN RIGHTS JUSTICE SYSTEM AND NATURAL JUSTICE IN CANADA?
3, DO YOU BELIEVE DELAYING JUSTICE IS DENYING JUSTICE?
Please read the story below and answer the questions.
I wish and pray nobody else faces this kind of Torture in his/her life. Still I could not find that it is profiling, injustice unfair practice, just to remind me who I am (My Color, My Name, My Accent) or all of these. I am south Asian Muslim immigrant. I moved Canada 8 years ago. First 2 years were consist of finding job and working, worked around one and half year, laid off and found another employer. It was a heavy manufacturing work. Just after a few weeks I got work related injury. In the next 3 month while I was on modified job, Being new in Canada and having no knowledge of my rights I was bullied, humiliated and discriminated by my senior workers and supervisor. I complained many time to responsible staff but no result. Last day on my work place I was threatened by a staff member, I was as frightened that next day I was not able to go back on my work place. They called me and promised me to see the matter but I was really frightened, depressed and was going through mental stress, I refused to go back on that place. Later one of my buddy told me to see a lawyer. Lawyer advised me to file a Human Rights complaint. I filed the Complaint with Human Rights, but they did nothing and kept my file under the STONES for five years and later referred my complaint to Tribunal, and another 6 months took to set a mediation, That day was another Frightful experience in Canada When I found that Tribunal Mediator was not listening me and was asking questions that was not really covering my case. At the end of mediation He told me that we will send our decision later. By the rule and Code they have to inform with in 30 days. till today I did not find any letter from them. I went to Compensation board they argued that a modified job was given to you and that you left that job. They have no idea how badly they are harming and hurting our lives. My wife and kids have not seen me from last 8 years. Due to that injury I am unable to make that much money to arrange cost of Sponsoring my wife and kids or even to send sufficient money so they can have an easy life. Soon I will be evicted from this place because now I have not that much money to pay the rent. I have to move to a shelter or what is written next for me.
I AM IN CANADA BUT FEELS LIKE LIVING IN A 3RD WORLD COUNTRY.
