The Justice Centre announces that lawyers have filed responses to five applications for intervenor status in Amy Hamm's appeal before the Supreme Court of British Columbia, underscoring the broader public importance of a case concerning freedom of expression and the authority of professional regulators to discipline their members. The case arises from social media comments Ms. Hamm made about sex and gender while identifying herself as a nurse. Although the comments were made outside her employment and did not involve patient care, a BCCNM disciplinary panel found that several constituted unprofessional conduct. In August 2025, the panel ordered that Ms. Hamm’s nursing licence be suspended for one month, and that she pay costs of nearly $94,000, although these orders were stayed pending the outcome of her appeal. Constitutional lawyer Lisa Bildy said, “This appeal raises important questions about the extent to which professional regulators may discipline members for lawful expression outside their professional practice.” She continued, “The large number of prospective intervenors suggests there is considerable interest in the outcome of this case, particularly whether gender-critical speech and advocacy should be permissible for regulated professionals, or punishable.” Read the full story here: jccf.ca/former-bc-nurs…

@jboorne1 @shawnlally The Conservative Party Constitution opens by setting out our party's core principles. I want to particularly highlight these three below. The idea of expelling people on the basis of race or religious is completely antithetical to our core principles.
