Our client is now free to resume his profession.”.Mark Joseph, senior litigation counsel for TDF, said this type of case was becoming more prevalent. ."We've recently seen a move by regulatory bodies for doctors, nurses, psychologists and lawyers to scrutinize and overly police the speech of their members,” he said. “This is worrying to those of us who value professional independence and free speech..This is what the Western Standard is up againstThe Trudeau government is funding lies and propaganda by directly subsidizing the mainstream media.
