I know what it's like to have to balance realities with preferred realities, to keep a job rather than to have full and equal rights from the employer. And it is not just small companies that act this way. Several large corporations, including such enlightened institutions as the publicly owned Canadian Broadcorping Castration, (whoops, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) were recently fingered by the CanadianHumanRights Commission as discriminating in employment practices against persons with disabilities.
