Absolutely ridiculous. So much for freedom of speech in this country. How could merely expressing an opinion be considered hate speech? :roll: :x

More woke lunacy. You have to submit to their cult or they'll come after you.

This is Canada.

We are fighting to be the most 'woke' country in the world, along with the UK and Sweden.

The problem was not her advocacy, repulsive as I personally find it, which was done on her own time with her own dime.

The problem was that she did it WHILE CITING HER PROFESSIONAL CREDENTIALS AS A NURSE, which is a no-no.

This is clear if one reads the actual text of the disciplinary decision.

Why should that be a no-no? Do we lose our freedom of speech and expression when practicing certain professions? Apparently we do in Canada.

I have engaged in activism many times. I have always done so as a private citizen. I have never done so while citing my profession and/or employer. The idea never even occurred to me, it would be just so foolish, and so inviting of retribution from my employer (who might hold contrary opinions and resent my attempt to imply their endorsement for mine).

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Speaking of woke... A Canadian HOMEOWNER has been charged with assault

after he wrestled with a fugitive, who was out on probation, and had a weapon.... and BROKE INTO HIS HOME AT 3 AM.

From the elbows up Canada strong scam, to the elbow limbo dance.
Was there ever any doubt? Carney just returning the favour , forever grateful to Trump for his election victory.
