Blockbuster free speech case unfolding in Vancouver. Nurse & journalist Amy Hamm @preta_6 is appealing the BC College of Nurses decision to discipline her for saying a man cannot literally become a woman.

#IStandWithAmyHamm @KellyDeRidderMP @AndrewLawton @Roman_Baber @PierrePoilievre @CPC_HQ - Do you?

Things are bad in Canada. There is no way around it. MAID is expanding. Inflation is soaring. Censorship is also expanding. Do remember though that many of the churches during COVID lockdowns who had pastors arrested, fined and mocked, have only faced growth for their faithful stand and commitment to the ministry of the Word & sacrament. It is bizarre that more don't rally around truth at this point in history, especially after so many recognize that lockdowns were a complete failure, and no one is getting vaccinated anymore. Just remember though that every time there is a flashpoint and the church remains faithful to the Word, that this will reap good fruit in the long term.

Amy Hamm, a nurse and single mother, was dragged through a modern-day witch trial for saying that men are not women. Her profession was a nurse, yet she was called "unprofessional" by the BC College of Nurses and Midwives for understanding biology. She lost her career overnight and has been ordered to pay $94,000 in costs. She will be appealing the decision in a little over a week. I stand with Amy Hamm. ✊🏻 #IStandWithAmyHamm

November 10, 12 & 13: The dates of my appeal trial at the BC Supreme Court. I am appealing a ruling that found me guilty of "unprofessional conduct" for advocating for the rights of women and children in my off-duty time. My regulator, the BC College of Nurses, investigated me at the behest of a cancellation mob after receiving complaints from members of the public I've never met. I have never had a patient complaint. I was dragged through years of disciplinary hearings, lasting longer than a murder trial. (My fight was made possible by @JCCFCanada and @LDBildy.) After my guilty verdict, I was told I would face a 1 month suspension and had to pay $94,000 to the BCCNM. My employer of 13 years, Vancouver Coastal Health, fired me with no severance, and no way to even collect EI. I was a single mom with 2 young boys. The suspension and $94k was put on hold for the appeal. My name is blacklisted and I essentially was pushed out of the profession entirely. I first noticed the rise of gender ideology a decade ago, and I was fascinated and repulsed that women were being told to shut up about their experiences to make way for people who identify as us. Then I came to understand that paediatric "gender affirming care" is a terrible medical scandal, probably worse than the lobotomy. I began to write about the topic and, with another BC woman, began to organize events to discuss gender ideology. We faced vicious threats, protests, and attempts to shut us down. Later, of course, I was involved in a billboard project that drew a lot of ire from trans activists. Never could I have imagined that life would go in this direction: being smeared as a bigot across the country; losing my career and long-term financial stability; and spending 6+ years in a protracted legal battle. I'm still fighting because I care about the truth, free speech (for all of us, but especially for regulated professionals, who don't deserve to be policed in their private lives and forced to go along with state orthodoxy), and women's rights. Please follow along for updates.

How much longer are Canadians expected to pay for performative nonsense and applaud without seeing results? Can someone explain what Canadians are supposed to gain from Ursula von der Leyen and EU leaders coming to Canada? What, specifically, are we trying to accomplish here? We can’t even keep our own house in order, yet our elected officials are hosting international leaders and presenting another partnership as an accomplishment. Can someone explain what Canadians are supposed to gain from Ursula von der Leyen and EU leaders coming to Canada? What, specifically, are we trying to accomplish here? When government keeps failing to address problems at home, Canadians are entitled to question its priorities. How does this visit help resolve those failures? What will it accomplish for the people paying for it? Our elected officials answer to Canadians. They are spending our money and making commitments on our behalf. We are entitled to know what they are agreeing to, what obligations we are taking on and how any of it will improve our lives. If this visit delivers something worthwhile, show us. Publish the terms, disclose the costs and explain who will answer if the benefits don’t materialize. We cannot keep measuring government by the importance of the people in the room while ignoring its failure to serve the people outside it.

I heard @merelyjwright preach this message at the Muscular Christianity conference last month. It's an excellent example of a pastor being political. Or better, he's being faithful to call out the threat of Islam and right way for Christians to respond. christoverall.com/article/co…

Time to repost the most Straussian I’ve ever been: archive.americanreformer.org…

If a man would rather listen to a stranger than to his own minister, the minister has reason to ask what the stranger is supplying. It may be that the young man is foolish. It may also be that he is hungry, and the table in his own house is bare.
