It's really hard to watch Daniel walk up and down in front of the Court House each day. The 5 days without food are starting to show in him. He is loosing weight, starting to look gaunt and yet through it all his resolve stays strong. If he has to continue this fight he is going to need a wheel chair before to long as his physical strength is fleeing fast. I can't help but try and convince him to eat but he is convicted - even his favourite Cherry Cheesecake isn't swaying him. He will not eat until someone steps up and starts to do something about the injustice that has happened.

Someone said to me that it is all about getting back at his ex. It's not about getting revenge on his ex at all. It is about proving that the powers that be have left off their responsibilities to do the right thing. It's about the Human Rights Commission choosing to let an employer fire an employee based on a disability that was due to an injury at the work place. Let's get real - Firing someone who got injured at work? That is not right and it is an issue covered in the laws of our land.

I'm not up on the legal stuff the way Daniel is but I know that when someone is injured at work and then fired shortly there after there is something going on. They say that it was lay offs but the paper work says that there were people hired after Daniel was - so based on that they should have been laid off first. It just doesn't make any sense to me. If I can see the truth then why can’t people who are in these positions and mandated to protect peoples rights not seeing it?

My heart is breaking watching him fight against something that should never have happened in the first place. If nothing else at least he knows that I am behind him though there is little that I can do other than encourage him and love him.
