Tomorrow, the disciplinary hearing for BC nurse Amy Hamm @preta_6 will begin.
She is being forced to undergo a 7 day hearing, for complaints about her advocacy of women’s rights on her personal time. She is not accused of any professional misconduct while performing her duties.
The hearing is being conducted by the provincial regulator for nursing and midwifery.
I have registered to observe the hearing, and will be watching in support of Amy, who, I believe is being bullied and threatened with potential loss of her nursing license for stating truth.
This is what has become of Canada.
I still hold out hope that the regulator, when forced to face facts and evidence in a hearing, might realize its mistake and do the right thing.
As unlikely as that might be, my secondary hope is that this will bring public scrutiny.
And other organizations might think twice in future before infringing on the rights of Canadians to freedom of expression.
My hope is that this will be the Forstater/Bailey case for Canada regarding employment rights.
Good luck, Amy. Many of us will be watching and supporting!
After two days of hearings for @preta_6, there’s a nagging thought that I can’t shake after watching yesterday’s cross examination of the head of the UBC nursing program by Amy’s very diligent lawyer, Karen Bastow:
1/x
Amy graduated from the UBC nursing program, with honours, roughly a decade ago and has maintained continuing education since then. She is facing two allegations from the public, one of which is still anonymous regarding her public comments on social media.
2/x
Many of the comments in question are based in the factual information professed to her by UBC. These facts are rooted in hundreds of years of scientific consensus about the biological reality of the human species.
