520 |a"Thirty years ago, for people with disabilities living in Canada, concepts of discrimination and equality were new, unformed and relatively untested. The recognition of disability-related barriers as a matter for human rights concern and scrutiny represented a qualitative change in the understanding of the disability experience. Human rights offered people with disabilities the prospect of recognition as equal human beings and redress for their chronic exclusion and social and economic disadvantage. Human rights, it was hoped, could serve as the source of vision and the heartbeat of a transformation.There was incremental progress in cases like Canadian Odeon Theatres Ltd. v. Huck, which clarified that public places, like movie theatres, needed to be modified to make space for people with disabilities. But it is the decisions in Meiorin and Grismer, issued by the Supreme Court of Canada that ignited a larger aspiration for equality in employment and services and genuine optimism among people with disabilities. This paper assesses the promise of Meiorin and considers how some leading post-Meiorin cases have attacked that promise and created troubling legal knots"--Introduction, p. 1.
