Is Freedom of Speech LOST in Canada

Interesting story.

Nurse suspended, fined for saying men are men, giving Canada's Conservatives new path to victory​

Nursing regulator portrays $93,000 fine as a steal for single mother Amy Hamm, given "risk of harm" she caused despite no one claiming to be a victim. Pollievre calls Hamm after not mentioning speech threats in by-election victory speech.​

Pierre Poilievre's political comeback started with his by-election victory Monday to a new seat in Canada's House of Commons after his Conservative Party's stunning reversal of fortune in April elections, prompted by "wacko" Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's resignation.​

​

The Alberta-based party leader's second attempted path to dethrone the Liberals under Mark Carney may now run through gender-ideology disputes in the adjoining province, where expressing the wrong views can imperil a medical license.​

​

Vancouver nurse Amy Hamm's month-long license suspension and $93,639.80 fine, for expressing gender-critical views online and through her billboard praising Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, didn't get even a vague allusion in Poilievre's victory speech days later. Neither did threats to gender-critical views or speech policing in general.​

​

In a speech focused on crime, gun rights and the economy, the closest Poilievre got was sharing an anecdote from a female prison guard "who was tied up and viciously assaulted by a violent criminal" at the penitentiary where she worked.​

​

But since Wednesday afternoon, the politico known as "Skippy" has shared his own and others' outrage at least three times about the March 13 professional misconduct findingand Aug. 14 penalties against Hamm and what they say about freedom in Canada.​

​

"This is authoritarian censorship," Poilievre wrote on X, sharing a National Post column Monday criticizing the "grotesque attack on free speech" by the British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives, whose investigation of Hamm dates back four years. "We must restore free speech and free thinking in a free country," Poilievre said.​

​

A U.K. Telegraph columnist portrayed Hamm's punishment as a turning point for its Commonwealth of Nations sibling, "a case study in Canada’s descent into tyranny."​

​

Poilievre reposted fellow Conservative lawmakers Leslyn Lewis, who questioned whether BC medical professionals can "safely do their job if they are punished for acknowledging biological realities" crucial in medicine, and his predecessor, Andrew Scheer, who quoted English author G.K. Chesterton's 1926 prediction that "secular society" would soon punish objective truth.​

​

Hamm said she spoke to Poilievre on the phone Wednesday. "He is a man who understands the issues regarding protection of our sex-based rights," and "I’m feeling positive about Canada in a way that I haven’t in a long time," she said. (Rowling, who has previously praised Hamm, hasn't spoken about her on X since the penalty was handed down.)​

​

Hamm appealed the finding to the BC Supreme Court in April and is considering appealing the penalty, according to her lawyer Lisa Bildy. The panel agreed with her request to stay the suspension and costs award to BCCNM pending Hamm's decision.​

​

She shared her donation page in light of reader interest, as well as that of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, which is sponsoring her case and says Hamm was punished for speaking while identifying as a nurse in "three articles and one podcast episode."​

​

Last month, Hamm also filed complaints against BCCNM and Vancouver Coast Health, which fired her shortly after the finding, with the BC Human Rights Tribunal. Bildy shared redacted complaints with Just the News after JCCF said it wasn't sure it could legally share them.​

​

The tribunal spurned a former registered nurse and JCCF client in another investigation over pure speech, however, fining Kirsten Olsen $10,000 for privately warning her transgender friend and tenant about a planned mastectomy. She appealed to the Supreme Court.​

Said it was coming the day they cut off pistols.
But they don't need them like we do since we cowboys have so many gunfights in the streets.

Maybe old news, but I just read where a Canadian guy defended his home with a knife, "putting the intruder at risk" and the home owner has been arrested.
But Canada is so much better than America.

I think it is sad what is going on in Canada, England/UK and Europe. And the USA was on the same path of SELF-destruction too, but thankfully Trump is un-doing much of the damage. I just hope whoever follows Trump continues his work.

I hope that Farage gets to be the next PM of the UK and I am not sure who can reverse course for Canada.

I think the EU is a lost cause, Italy, the Netherlands and Hungary are doing some stuff to throw out the anchor to try to right that ship, but how do you right a ship that is already on the rocks and breaking apart?

The question is, is England already lost?

They don't see it coming. And it's coming fast. Very fast. Somehow they seem to have been brainwashed. Canada has a chance IF they wake up. The rest, I think it's over. They are now subjects, not citizens.

 

[Melensdad]

I really hope that Canada (and the UK) both wake up.
Structurally I don't see the EU surviving the apocalypse that they invited.

Canada has a chance.

But then there is news like this, where the Muslims have shut down a Gay Price parade to support HAMAS terrorists. And while I'm not a fan of gay pride parades (nor would I be a fan of a heterosexual parade) it seems bad to support terror.

And self defense, by a teenage girl, who was also defending her 12 year old sister against sexual assault by a migrant, is apparently illegal in the UK. Scotland, land of fierce warrior clans, has been reduced to a pre-civilized nation where criminals rule and honest citizens are victims.

Scottish Girl Arrested For Using Knife And Axe To Ward Off Migrant Stalker​

The systematic and engineered destruction of Europe through "multicultural" invasion is heartbreaking to watch. It is clear, beyond any doubt, that this program spearheaded by progressive politicians (and fake conservative politicians) is designed to crush the spirits of predominantly white, native born citizens still retaining a sense of national pride and cultural heritage. That is to say, they have become the targets of a government funded terror campaign to subjugate the west.​

​

Starting around 2014, millions of third world migrants have been allowed to flood into Europe's borders, often encouraged by globalist NGOs, the UN and leftist political leaders within the host countries. The effects of this decade long campaign have been devastating. ​

​

Violent crime has skyrocketed and migrant "grooming gangs" have spread, targeting underage girls for sexual exploitation. Rape has become a common problem, which local governments have chosen to ignore.​

​

Just this week an American man visiting Dresden, Germany was stabbed in the face while bravely preventing two migrants from assaulting a pair of women on a tram. One of the man's attacker, a Syrian refugee, was arrested by police and then immediately released by prosecutors back onto the streets.​

​

And so the story is repeated, over and over again. European elites invite third world migrants, largely military age men, into their borders in the name of progressive multiculturalism. The migrants then attack the native population because their culture tells them Europeans are cattle to be farmed. Whenever a European dares to speak up or defend themselves, they are slapped down by officials or arrested. The population slowly becomes apathetic, passive and easier to control because they have no recourse but silence.​

​

At bottom, the migrants are merely an ugly symptom of a bigger disease; the source of the problem is the political oligarchy that is facilitating the multicultural agenda.​

​

Yet another example occurred in Scotland this week with the arrest of a 14-year-old girl who went viral on social media after defending another girl from a migrant man stalking them on video. The teen can be seen pulling out a kitchen knife and a hatchet and screaming at the man to leave them alone. ​

​

She warns the migrant man "Don't touch my sister, she's fucking 12..." ​

​

Now, that same girl has reportedly been arrested by Scottish authorities for "brandishing a bladed weapon". It is illegal in the UK to carry almost any self defense tool and knives over three inches are banned from personal carry. These laws never seem to apply to migrants, of course, leaving native law abiding citizens helpless against armed attackers. ​

​

UK media coverage conveniently leaves out any mention of the migrant man when reporting on the arrest. Details of the arrest are thin and the incident raises many question. The apparent mother of one of the teens present at the scene claims that the man and another woman were sexually propositioning a young girl when she intervened. The migrants then allegedly attacked her and that is when the weapons came out. ​

​

​

​

It's clear from the footage that the migrant was following the girls, filming them and refusing to leave when they ask him to go away. It's hard to come up with a justification for his behavior, but we're sure the UK media will find a way. The fact that the migrant man was willing to film the altercation suggests he believes he is protected while the girls are not. He may be right. ​

​

If the man had been white and Scottish, the teen would likely have been held up as a hero. Instead, she faces prosecution. And this is how you know mass immigration is a malicious agenda, not a sincere humanitarian effort.​

​

​

​

The migrant issue is only becoming worse, even as European citizens become more aware and more vocal. In the Netherlands, a 17-year-old Dutch girl was recently assaulted and murdered by a 22-year-old "asylum seeker" while walking the streets of Amsterdam. She was followed and then stabbed to death while trying to call police.​

​

The Dutch media proceeded to cover up the event by turning it into a story on "male violence against women" instead of what it really was, a story about migrant violence against European women.​

​

Consider for a moment what might have happened to those Scottish girls had one of them not been armed. The fact that a child felt the need to carry a knife and a hatchet just to walk around her neighborhood is a testament to the downfall of the UK and the rest of Europe. The fact that she has been arrested for warding off a migrant man, a man who refused to leave her alone and who should never have been allowed into the country to begin with, is a testament to the corruption at the heart of European decay. ​

I believe the electing of Donald Trump saved America. If the democrats won, I fully believe we'd be where Canada and England are by the end of their first 4 years. And then a republican would never ever win again, at least in my lifetime.

I think you are wrong.

We would not be where they are. We would be LEADING THE WAY toward the destruction of the world.

Trump clearly saved us.

I hope, for the sake of Canada and the UK that they can be saved.

I still fear that the EU is totally lost and, for the sake of the 'freedom loving nations' I hope the EU collapses and the nations who follow common sense are set free from the tyranny of the EU.

Mexico is currently run by an avowed SOCIALIST and that is a huge concern as they are our neighbor. But the drug lords probably actually control the nation of Mexico more than the Socialists. It will be interesting to see what actually happens south of the border. Trump cut off their economic supply chain when he taxed their money transfers from illegals in the US to their families in Mexico. Trump shut off the tap of illegal immigration. Trump reversed the flow of immigration. So will Mexico's President Sheinbaum deal with the new reality or will she look for ways around the physical/legal/aid walls that Trump set up?

NOT SURE IF ANYONE NOTICED but the socialist in PERU collapsed and they were supported by the Iranians. That is a "win" for Trump. But it will be interesting to see what happens to Peru.
