I, Ashu M. G. Solo, filed the following:

1. Civil rights case against the City of Saskatoon (Mayor's Office) and Councillor Randy Donauer for prayer recitations at government organized events

2. Code of Conduct complaint against Mayor Don Atchison for potential online campaign advertising violations

3. Civil rights case against the City of Saskatoon (Saskatoon Transit Services) for promoting holidays from only one religion on city buses

4. Human rights complaint against the City of Saskatoon (Executive Committee) for retaliating against me by not reappointing me to the Cultural Diversity and Race Relations Committee and not appointing me to another civic committee or board

5. Human rights complaint against the City of Saskatoon (City Solicitor’s Office) for retaliating against me by trying to deprive me of my right to directly communicate with members of City Council and by telling employees of other City of Saskatoon departments to not talk to me

6. Human rights complaint against the City of Saskatoon (Cultural Diversity and Race Relations Office) and City of Saskatoon (Living in Harmony Ad Hoc Subcommittee of Cultural Diversity and Race Relations Committee) for retaliating against me by not considering my submissions to the Living in Harmony Contest

This site contains my media releases, some case documents, emails to City Council, etc.

I don't waste my time arguing with opponents.

The backlash makes me much more determined to fight against bigotry and shows the need for these civil rights cases, so I'll be filing more civil rights cases. You ain't seen nothing yet.

RE: RE: Newspaper Article About Religious Bigotry at Saskatoon Volunteer Appreciation Banquet

Hi Mayor Atchison and Councillor Donauer,

Now that I know from the Star Phoenix that a city councillor said the public Christian prayer at the Volunteer Appreciation Banquet, for this complaint of religious discrimination to not proceed to the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission, I would need to see all of the following by Friday, April 27, 2012:

1. An apology from Mayor Atchison to me and to anyone else who was offended for having a public Christian prayer at the Volunteer Appreciation Banquet.
2. An apology from Councillor Donauer to me and to anyone else who was offended for saying a public Christian prayer at the Volunteer Appreciation Banquet.
3. A guarantee from Mayor Atchison that he will not violate the separation of religion and government again at any Saskatoon municipal government event.  This includes not violating the separation of religion and government with the Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast.  The name of this event should be changed, so it doesn’t use the office of mayor to promote prayer or Christian prayer.  It could be called “Don Atchison’s Prayer Breakfast.”
4. A guarantee from Councillor Donauer that he will not violate the separation of religion and government again at any Saskatoon municipal government event.

You should stop making non-Christian Saskatoon citizens feel excluded and like second-class citizens by having public Christian prayers at municipal government events.  This is absolutely disgraceful.

Sincerely,

Ashu M. G. Solo
