Wow - the CBC only just posted their story about the Boissoin remedy decision - and they've dated it June 6.
Go read some of the reader comments - there's a lot of them, but a few gems in the midst of it all.
Also, I see that Mr. Boissoin has published his "response" to the decision on his website. How mature of you, Mr. Boissoin.

I wonder?
Does Chandler's resignation from the CCC give him an excuse to renege on his promise to go to jail rather than pay any fines? (See the Freedom Radio Network decision on the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council's website for the transcript)
mmmm ALL THOSE HOT MEN IN JAIL !
There's a couple of legitimate questions that you allude to.
1. As the CEO of CCC through most of the proceedings (but stepping down in Spring of 2007), does Chandler have some personal liability relating to his executive role at the time?
2. Does the current executive of CCC have personal liability if the organization chooses not to comply with the remedy decision?
I suspect that an appeal to the courts would stay the remedy decision pending the outcome of proceedings.
As an aside, I do not believe that the AHRC (or CHRC) has the direct power to imprison someone for non-compliance with a decision. They would have to appeal to the courts, and have the courts exercise their powers in that regard.
You are completely correct.
However, Human Rights Commission's orders are enforceable by the Courts.
Anyone found in contempt of a court order can be sentenced to jail. However, usually the Court will reduce the jail time to time served as soon as the Court Order has been complied with.
