Lorne Gunter: Overturned ruling a blow to human rights commission's credibility It’s rare to see a judge call out a human rights commission as completely as Court of King’s Bench Justice John Little chastised the Alberta Human Rights Commission on Monday. Little so completely overturned the commission’s 2024 ruling of racism against the Edmonton Police Service that there will be no re-hearing of the complaint.
