Anti-COVID jab doctor gets help from pro-freedom legal group in fight against medical regulator
Dr. Roger Hodkinson

Dr. Roger Hodkinson is charged by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta with professional misconduct for criticizing COVID shots and mandates.
A Canadian doctor who remarked a few years ago that officials should be jailed for being complicit in the “big kill” caused by COVID jabs is getting help from one of the nation’s top pro-freedom legal groups to fight a medical regulator that has charged him with professional misconduct because of his criticism of the shots.
The Democracy Fund (TDF) said in a press release that it will be “defending” Alberta-based Dr. Roger Hodkinson in his “legal fight with respect to several complaints brought against him by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA).”
“The CPSA has charged Dr. Hodkinson with professional misconduct, alleging that he wrongly commented on the efficacy of masks and social distancing in preventing the spread of COVID-19, the usefulness of vitamin D in protecting against COVID-19, the necessity and unqualified safety of COVID-19 vaccines, and the COVID-19 testing protocol,” the TDF noted.
The complete list of the CPSA’s allegations, which are dated May 16 and can be found here, go back to 2020.
One of the allegations the CPSA brought against Hodkinson is from 2021 when it claimed he “participated in a media interview with Rebel News and identified yourself as a medical specialist in pathology and former assistant professor in the faculty of medicine at the University of Alberta and made statements regarding public health measures in response to the COVID 19 Pandemic that were unprofessional.”
The CPSO claimed that some of Hodkinson’s statements were “contrary to the Canadian Medical Association Code of Ethics and Professionalism, including one or more of the following sections 39 and 41; And further particulars of the unprofessional statement.”
Hodkinson will face a virtual Zoom meeting on November 18, 19, 20, and 21, “as the matter may be heard, to inquire into and ascertain the facts of the matter of a complaint against you referred to the Hearing Tribunal.”
Hodkinson’s attorney, Sarah Miller, noted of the CPSA case against him that it “continues to prosecute Dr. Hodkinson for expressing his opinions on the government’s response to COVID-19.”
“We are proceeding to a five-day hearing in November for the CPSA to hear and determine whether Dr. Hodkinson breached his obligations under the Code of Ethics and Professionalism,” she said. “The hearing represents a considerable use of resources to exercise authority over Dr. Hodkinson’s public expression of his closely held beliefs.”
In 2022, Hodkinson said that leaders in Canada and throughout the world have perpetrated the “biggest kill ever in medicine’s history” because of COVID lockdowns and vaccine coercion.
In 2021, Hodkinson and Dr. Dennis Modry publicly blasted the Conservative provincial government then led by Premier Jason Kenney for “intimidating” people “into compliance” with COVID-19 lockdowns and called on politicians to open society back up.
At that point, Hodkinson was very outspoken against COVID lockdowns.
During a public Edmonton City Council meeting in 2021, Hodkinson blasted government-imposed COVID-19 measures, calling masks “utterly useless” and saying the virus is “not Ebola.”
His comments at the meeting were listed by the CPSO as part of his professional misconduct allegations.
At the time, LifeSiteNews posted a video of Hodkinson’s remarks on YouTube that immediately resulted in the suspension of LifeSite’s account for one week.
As it stands now in Alberta, current Premier Danielle Smith, who is the leader of the United Conservative Party (UCP), has promised that the province’s Bill of Rights will be amended this fall to add protections for people’s personal medical decisions that most likely will include the right to refuse a vaccine.
UCP MLA Eric Bouchard recently hosted a sold-out event titled “An Injection of Truth” that featured prominent doctors and experts speaking out against COVID vaccines and mandates.
“Injection of Truth” included well-known speakers critical of COVID mandates and the shots, including Dr. Byram Bridle, Dr. William Makis, canceled doctor Mark Trozzi and pediatric neurologist Eric Payne.
The COVID shots were heavily promoted by the federal government and all provincial governments, with the Alberta government under Kenney being no exception.
The mRNA shots have been linked to a multitude of negative and often severe side effects in children.

Freedom Convoy’s Tamara Lich shares heartfelt letter from children: ‘God will be by your side’
From LifeSiteNews
Ahead of the announcement of the verdict from her trial in Canada, the Freedom Convoy co-leader posted on X the ‘beautiful letter’ from a 4-year-old and 8-year-old.
With a few weeks until a verdict is released, Freedom Convoy leader Tamara Lich shared a heartwarming letter she received from a child, who told her to “keep fighting” for everyone and that “God will protect” her from the “enemy.”
Lich shared an image of the letter Thursday on X, writing, “Feels like a good day to share this beautiful letter I received from some very wise children.”
The letter, which was handwritten and sent to Lich by 4-year-old Zavier and 8-year-old Alanis, has the title “God loves You.”
“Thank you for fighting for everyones FREEDOM. God will be by your side and God will protect you from the enemy,” the letter reads.
“With God everything is possible. Stay strong we are praying for you every step of the journey.”
Lich was arrested on February 17, 2022, in Ottawa. Co-leader Chris Barber was arrested the same day.
Lich and Barber’s trial concluded in September 2024, more than a year after it began. It was originally scheduled to last 16 days.
As reported by LifeSiteNews, Lich and Barber’s verdict will be announced on March 12.
They both face a possible 10-year prison sentence. LifeSiteNews reported extensively on their trial.
As reported by LifeSiteNews, Lich recently spelled out how much the Canadian government has spent prosecuting her and Barber for their role in the protests. She said at least $5 million in “taxpayer dollars” has been spent thus far, with her and Barber’s legal costs being above $750,000.
In early 2022, the Freedom Convoy saw thousands of Canadians from coast to coast come to Ottawa to demand an end to COVID mandates in all forms. Despite the peaceful nature of the protest, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government enacted the never-before-used Emergencies Act (EA) on February 14, 2022.
During the clear-out of protesters after the EA was put in place, one protester, an elderly lady, was trampled by a police horse and one conservative female reporter was beaten by police and shot with a tear gas canister.
Trudeau revoked the EA on February 23.
The EA controversially allowed the government to freeze the bank accounts of protesters, conscript tow truck drivers, and arrest people for participating in assemblies the government deemed illegal.

Ontario Superior Court Justice Charles Hackland ruled that Pat King must serve three months of house arrest and dedicate 100 hours to community service for his participation in the 2022 Freedom Convoy
Freedom Convoy participant Pat King has been given a 3-month conditional sentence for his role in the 2022 Freedom Convoy protest against COVID mandates.
On February 19, Ontario Superior Court Justice Charles Hackland ruled that King must serve three additional months of house arrest and dedicate 100 hours to community service for his role in the Freedom Convoy. King’s sentence would have been 12 months, but the court gave him credit for time served prior to his trial.
“In the court’s opinion, there is a social harm to unduly elevating the sentencing rules of denunciation and deterrence in the context of political protests to result in punitive sentences at the top of the sentencing range,” Hackland wrote, explaining why he did not opt to sentence King to a whopping 10-year prison sentence, as the Crown prosecutors had advocated for.
“The risk is that an overly severe sentence of imprisonment in the context of legitimate, constitutionally protected activity can have the effect of creating a chill or fear of participation in political expression,” he continued.
In November, King was found guilty of two counts of disobeying a court order, one count of mischief, one count of counselling others to commit mischief, as well as one count of counselling others to obstruct police.
King’s charges are in relation to his role in the 2022 Freedom Convoy which featured thousands of Canadians camping out in downtown Ottawa to call for an end to the COVID regulations and vaccine mandates in place at the time.
Despite the peaceful nature of the protest, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government enacted the Emergencies Act on February 14, 2022, to put an end to the popular convoy. Trudeau revoked the EA on February 23, but only after using the powers granted by the legislation to freeze the bank accounts of protesters, conscript tow truck drivers, and arrest people for participating in the assembly.
The two main Freedom Convoy leaders, Tamara Lich and Chris Barber, are still awaiting their verdicts for their involvement in the 2022 protests. Like King, if convicted, they face a maximum prison sentence of 10 years.
While some of the most notable people involved in the protest, like Lich and Barber, face a slew of charges that come with potentially harsh sentences, other protesters charged for participating have seen their charges dropped.
