in december 2007, the cic launched complaints with the canadian human rights commission, british columbia human rights commission and the ontario human rights commission against "maclean's magazine" accusing the magazine of publishing 18 articles between january 2005 and july 2007 that they considered islamophobic in nature including a column by mark steyn titled "the future of islam". according to the cic complaint, maclean's is "flagrantly islamophobic" and "subjects canadian muslims to hatred and contempt." in april, 2008 the ontario human rights commission (ohrc) stated that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the complaint based on a gap in the legislation (the relevant portions of ontario human rights code only address discrimination via signs or symbols, not printed material). despite not having jurisdiction, the commission published a statement condemning the articles published by maclean's as "xenophobic", "destructive", "islamophobic" and "promoting prejudice". the commission indicated that more discussion on the topic of islamophobia in the media was warranted. the british columbia human rights commission heard the complaint in june 2008. the complaint was later dismissed. the federal human rights commission also dismissed the complaint.
