Roger Thibault and Theo Wouters, a gay couple from Montreal, were awarded $12,000 after being harassed by their neighbour because of their sexual orientation
The Quebec Human Rights Tribunal has ordered a Montreal man to pay his gay neighbours $12,000 for allegedly subjecting them to “homophobic comments,” death threats and invitations to fight, even though he was acquitted of the charges in a court of law nearly five years ago.
The tribunal ruled that Gordon Lusk, a married father of two, must pay the “moral and punitive” damages after his neighbours, Theo Wouters and Roger Thibault, accused him of addressing them as “faggots” during a June 2006, altercation.

Whoa! This is scary. Canada makes people pay large sums for crimes which they were acquitted of.
