A teacher in Richmond, B.C., has been reinstated to her position after being fired in 2024 over a classroom presentation supportive of the trucker “Freedom Convoy” that included a cartoon mocking former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Nicole Kowal-Seafoot was fired as a result of a presentation she gave to Grade 6 and 7 students in 2022 that featured a cartoon of Trudeau with his head on a chicken while carrying a syringe next to a child with a mask chained to its face.
