What is the test for discrimination in the context of hair versus clothing?
Manitoba, Canada
The following excerpt is from Canada Safeway v. M.F.C.W.U., 1984 CanLII 5048 (MB QB):
Next, a number of judicial decisions, particularly from the U.S.A., suggest that discrimination can only arise where a comparison of like with like can be made. For example, hair v. hair, or clothing v. clothing. With respect I think that conception is too narrow and limited, although it is one approach.
