just severial days ago an black lady sued a landlord for discrimination because the landlord refused to rent apartment to her.finally the landlord had to pay the penalty of thousands dollar.6 t7 i, D3 p \$ d, F3 Z+ z
in some extends our chinese really like somewhat a stack of loose sand.our so-called community occupied by some people speaking cantonese and other strange dialect and they just appear to be quite busy and happy to collect money from government and new immigrants instead of claim righteousness for chinese.
Yes,in the accident, I detected obvious discrimination from the Police(at first, I thought it was my janitor who cut off my power supply, so I dialed 911), Hydro-Quebec staff. The attitude they treated us with is greatly different from that in everyday life, having a smile on the face, especially when you can't speak french. But I never possess the idea that Frenchmen are superior to our Chinese. Never!!

One suggestion for you. Due to the leagal system here in Quebec is quite different with anywhere else, so even if you push the discremenation case, you will only be compensated by actual damage. The punitive damage is limited to $4000 or so. % n/ K# J5 g, n4 x. I4 GWith that kind of money, you can't even afford a decent lawyer from the settlement. So if you want to win this case, you might end up with winning but get any monetory benifit. / U9 b! {% m5 a% ~Good luck!
I recieved responses from Hydro-Quebec last week after almost two months' continuous struggling. Hydro-Quebec can reimburse 300$ for my food lost in the accident althought I had reclaimed more than 1000$ for my material lost and required Hydro-Quebec appologize in written form. In their lastest letter they said " we are truly sorry about the inconvenience ......". They also told me their resolution to my file in telephone and I did not accept it that time because I thought 300$ was much less than my real lost in the accident. No matter what comes the result at last, I think I got success and I hope our Chinese be confident to use the law to get fair when hurt.
