Oh Canada: Nurse Fights Anti-Free Speech Tribunal Over Transgender Views
[]
JONATHAN TURLEY
For years, we have discussed (e.g., here, here, here, here, here) the crackdown on free speech in Canada, which followed European allies in criminalizing and regulating religious and political speech.
The British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal targeted Hamm.
These tribunals have long operated as speech regulators, prosecuting those with opposing viewpoints or values.
The tribunal opened an investigation of Hamm four years ago after she paid for the pro-Rowling billboard.
The regional health authority claimed Hamm’s exercise of free speech about her beliefs caused “harm to individuals.” Accordingly, she could not continue as a nurse unless she was either silent about her views or mouthed the approved viewpoints of the tribunal or health authority.
