Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre says the firing and penalizing of a B.C. nurse for saying “there are only two genders” amounts to “authoritarian censorship.”

Last week, the B.C. College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM) found nurse Amy Hamm liable of “professional misconduct” over online comments she made on gender issues, ordering her to pay a fine of $93,639.80 and suspending her licence for a month.
