"I understand that some people were shocked by the fact that I was willing to point out how governments throughout history have broken the Nuremberg Code. Including right here in Canada."

"As an international lawyer, I look at the Nuremberg Code as an important legal document, and as a free Canadian, I believe it is my duty to speak up when we even come close to breaking any of the ten principles enshrined in it."

"But history is not about comparing, it is about learning. I want to learn from the lessons of history and use my voice to speak up so that we never even come close to repeating them."

"Cultural and historical nihilism has resulted in many people campaigning on erasing history – but history cannot be erased, we can only learn valuable lessons from it."

"I will continue to treat our most foundational international legal documents as a lawyer should.

I will not let wild accusations stop me from speaking out about government and medical malpractice."
