Alberta Human Rights Commission - Edmonton

scam

Try to get a live person to talk to is almost impossible.

they are very busy and they found time for me now I'm waiting for them to take over my case when others said no

I sent my complaint in Nov. 2018. I'm scheduled a conciliation in November 2020.

They are truely Amazing, With the Care & Concearn For Innocent People Who's Rights Have Been Violated By The Ignorance of Others

Useless place. They have their own idea of what kind of cases they want to fight for and will rudely dismiss you if you do not meet their needs. I wish I had better news for the people reading this but in my experience this place is not worth the time and aggravation of a phone call.

After almost 4 years, I finally made it to Tribunal. They claimed this process is designed for people like me but I have to say this process was the worst process I have ever went through in my life. What they say is different to what is done and that is also different to what is written in decisions. I asked for accommodations due to my disabilities and was asked to get reports as proof which I did that cost thousands of dollars. All I wanted was extra time to process information during tribunal and I was ignored, despite having booked ample enough time to allow. Any objections I had were ignored, your voice is nothing but irritating noise to them. The amount they give you for going through this IS NOT WORTH YOUR TIME. This is supposed to put you back in the position before you were discriminated against and prevent it from happening. What a joke that is. This process will ruin your life, it is meant to make you give up. You could have the equivalent of catching someone on camera, with witnesses and an admission for something that cost you your life and they will just give you whatever the generic max amount award is at the time. (10-30k) It costs you way more over the 4 years so don't even bother. The chances of your case getting far enough and then landing with someone who's smart and cares enough to see it for what it is are slim to none and thats best case scenario. Alberta's tribunal is not even a fraction as progressive as BC or Ontario, Corporations have more rights than humans. If you don't have hundreds of thousands for a lawyer, you will not recieve a fair award. If you have any disabilities, they will be used against you. This is just a place where politicians can assign their freinds jobs so they can aquire some extra fluff for their resumes and a few hundred k. I felt there was hope when Michael Gottheil came out here to make changes but he bailed on Alberta as fast as he could. These guys actually managed to move our rights backwards, no one wants to step outside these boundaries that were made without any merit and make an award that's actually relevant.

A toothless joke, get a consultation from a lawyer instead and don't waste your time. I waited nearly two years to be told I'd have to sit down and talk with my employer who treated me like garbage and that any reconciliation would be at their discretion (no I'm not joking, this is really how this works in Alberta lol). The conciliator who handled my case also required repetition of key details about my case to her multiple times and frankly, didn't even need to be involved with how little they seemingly actually do. Coerced dismissal is legal in Alberta as far as these people are concerned.
