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 finding and 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.
