Justice Centre launches national campaign to stop ideological overreach in regulated professions

The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms announces the launch of a national campaign urging all provinces to adopt legislation that restores professional regulators to their proper role of overseeing competence and ethics, rather than compelling speech or imposing political ideology on regulated professionals who serve the public.

Across Canada, professionals such as doctors, nurses, teachers, social workers, engineers, dentists, lawyers and many others are governed by regulatory bodies created to uphold technical competence and ethical standards. Instead of focusing on those core responsibilities, however, many regulators have begun embedding political or ideological content into mandatory courses, codes of ethics and continuing education requirements.

At the same time, professionals are increasingly being investigated or disciplined not for misconduct, but for expressing personal views or declining to endorse political positions.

To help Canadians take action, the Justice Centre has created an online tool with a ready-to-send letter that goes directly to the provincial representatives responsible for the relevant legislation. All the user needs to do is select their province and enter their information, and the tool automatically delivers the letter to the appropriate recipient.

The prepared letter outlines three essential legislative amendments:

• prohibiting regulatory bodies from pursuing political objectives;
• prohibiting regulators from monitoring or controlling the speech of their members; and
• prohibiting regulators from embedding political or ideological content into definitions of competence and ethics.

Alberta is the first province to take meaningful steps toward addressing this growing problem. Its proposed legislation, called the Regulated Professions Amendment Act, is designed to prevent regulators from compelling speech, advancing political objectives or embedding ideology into definitions of competence and ethics.

The Justice Centre encourages all Canadians to visit our website today to take action and help protect the independence of regulated professionals.

After years of dead ends, public frustration, and pointed questions from Congress, federal agents on Thursday finally took a suspect into custody for allegedly planting the pipe bombs outside the Democratic and Republican National Committee headquarters on the eve of Jan. 6. The arrest — confirmed by law enforcement officials and first reported by CNN and the Associated Press — lands just weeks before the five-year mark of the Capitol breach and brings long-awaited movement in a case that had become an embarrassment for the bureau.

A law-enforcement source told the AP the male suspect was arrested Thursday morning, though the charges remain under seal. For years, investigators had only grainy surveillance footage to work with: an individual in a gray hoodie, mask, gloves, and Nike Air Max Speed Turf sneakers, carrying a backpack as they placed what the FBI described as “viable explosive devices” outside both national party headquarters on the night of Jan. 5, 2021. Those bombs went unnoticed for roughly 17 hours, discovered only as Congress met the next day to certify the 2020 election results.

The timeline placed then–Vice President-elect Kamala Harris and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi within mere feet of the devices that Wednesday as their motorcades traveled in and out of the DNC’s South Capitol Street headquarters. A House Administration Committee review earlier this year blasted federal authorities for allowing Pelosi’s motorcade to pass directly by one of the bombs after it had already been spotted, chalking up the lapse to a broader failure to secure the area.

That same review — authored by Reps. Barry Loudermilk of Georgia and Thomas Massie of Kentucky — accused federal investigators of letting the trail go cold far too early. Despite what they called “a promising array of data” and “numerous persons of interest,” the lawmakers said the FBI had, by late February 2021, already begun shifting resources away from the bombing probe and stonewalling congressional requests for updates. Their report lamented that “little meaningful progress” had been made and pressed the bureau to release more information. Hours later, investigators unveiled new details, including additional surveillance video and an estimate that the suspect is roughly 5-foot-7.

The years-long vacuum of answers fueled widespread speculation — particularly among conservatives — that the bomber may have been a politically inconvenient figure for the Biden-era Justice Department, which aggressively pursued hundreds of Trump supporters tied to the Capitol breach while offering no clarity on who planted the explosives. Now-FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, who took office in March after years of publicly criticizing the investigation, had repeatedly questioned whether the case was being slow-rolled. Before joining the bureau, he suggested on his podcast that the operation had the hallmarks of an “inside job” and accused prior leadership of a “massive cover-up.”

Once inside the FBI, Bongino moved the dormant investigation to the top of his priority list. In a post last month, he said the bureau brought in new investigators, flew in outside officers assigned as task-force partners, re-examined past work product, and dramatically increased both manpower and the reward for information. “We brought in new personnel to take a look at the case… we dramatically increased investigative resources,” he wrote on X.

Neither the FBI nor the Justice Department has commented on the arrest. For now, nearly five years after pipe bombs were quietly placed outside both major political parties’ headquarters, the country is finally one step closer to answers that should have come much sooner.
