Also, Canada has libel and slander and freedom of press but not freedom of expression in the same way as the US. It has peace, order and good government. Meaning there are limits on free expression.
"Just to be clear, here — Gill sued people for disagreeing with her on Twitter, because she was saying deeply ignorant things about the COVID vaccine and lockdowns, and Musk is paying her legal bills because he believes she should have been allowed to do that. This has nothing to do with “free speech” and everything to do with wanting to promote Gill’s ignorance."
Someone with the power to do so should add that as a community note to the post.
These loons are quite loud on the doctor's website I write for - comparatively few but overwhelming in apparent presence since doctors who actually believe in and practice evidence-based medicine don't have the time to yelp but these creatures are doing A Cause.
It produces a misleading impression that they have a strength in the medical community that they do not have.
similar to how far-right conservatives think there is a "silent majority" that believes in their ridiculous nonsense because there are a bunch of loud smoothbrained shut-ins flooding comments 24/7.
Or that associate only with members of their equally right wing "christian" church. With a constant feedback loop saying Trump is on a mission from God. Then say it's impossible that Biden got more votes than Trump because everyone they know voted for Trump.
The best pediatrician my daughter had was an Indian woman, who is doubtless embarrassed by this bint. (Everyone called her “Dr. Lash”, because dumbass Americans can’t be bothered to pronounce “Lakshmikanth”.)
My awesome eye doctor goes by her first name because her last is full of constanents that normally do not go together in English. Talking to her she said she started in med school because no one bothered learning her name. When she got married to a man with a very easy to pronounce last name she kept her name, out of spite of people who never bothered to learn it.
So confusing. "Elon Musk fired an X employee over a social media post protesting RTO orders" Apparently if the employee works for him then it's OK to retaliate for a post on his platform.

Has anyone noticed you can anagram him to “Lone Skum”?
These people have such a martyr complex. I wish they'd take the plunge and just become true martyrs.
People just can’t commit to anything these days.
So Muskrat is about as good at keeping his promises to pay as Don Poorleone is.
You don't get rich spending money.
We will see how serious Musk is about free speech when he offers to serve the jail time for the 1/6 free speech "hostages".
In happier news... Elmo got a judicial slapdown in another case.
"This case is about punishing defendants for their speech."

So being a deadbeat is another trait Muck shares with Trump.
GTMU= Get The Money Upfront.

"Biden didn't even have boat parades! it is impossible for him to have won!"
And a lot more yard signs.
How has DeSantis not hired her yet?
“corksoakers”
Ooo... I like that.
I first heard that on SNL some time ago (4/10/04 — found on YouTube)
Maybe it will pass the insane AI nannybot the NY Post uses to police its comments.
Is that a Canadian "thing"?
My girlfriend says it all the time.
Is it because they wine so much?
Only possible explanation.
So Canadian, much polite.
Looked her up on the CPSO website and ye gods, she's a pediatrician. This woman should not be treating children.
Where did she get her medical degree, a box of Timbits?
No, as a waitress at Tim Horton's.

She shouldn't be treating anyone.
Making the rounds.
"Hey, how is it working for Twitter these days?"
"Can't complain."
I'm so glad I don't tweet or x or Truth or really do anything on social media except read positive motivation posts on Facebook.
I mostly boost funny animal videos on Instagram, because right now SO MANY people suck.

Don't look for sanity or consistency, it is like looking for a penny in the corner of a round room...
Free speech means I get to talk freely while you are bound and gagged.
