Tequila Nightclub was ordered Wednesday to pay $5,000 to a man who was denied entry during the 2004 Calgary Stampede.

An Alberta human rights panel chaired by Ald. Diane Colley-Urquhart ruled the club discriminated against Vancouver man Jaspal Randhawa.
This was the guy who participated in that Global TV hidden camera sting a few years ago. To refresh your memory, it was discussed around these parts back in 2004.

Between the ID scanning decision, Cowboys ongoing problems finding a new location and this, it hasn't been a good month or so for Calgary clubs.
$5,000? Why not $5,000,000? How did they determine the value of the "damages"?

But seriously, racism should be battled, but I fail to see why the guy deserves any money, his denial of entry did not cause any financial harm.
