Update Canada 07-11-22
We still have some activity in British Columbia, dealing with our college, as well as what we’re starting to see around the rest of the country in different provinces. Very excited about the information we’re gathering, and we’re going to share all of that with you today and your update. So good morning, Canadian chiropractors and allied health professionals. My name is Bharon Hoag. I am the Executive Director of OneChiropractic. The Chiropractic Defense Council is a project of our organization. And I’m happy to be coming to you today, Monday, July 11th, 2022 for your weekly update. Well, first and foremost, thank you for giving me a break. Last week I had a phenomenal time celebrating Independence Day here in the United States with my family, and I had an opportunity to do some networking and some fundraising and continue to spread the message of OneChiropractic. And so we appreciate you for giving us that break.
We did get a couple of emails, from people asking where their video was and I appreciate that because it lets me know that people are still pretty committed to watching these videos. Our viewership numbers are pretty amazing considering how long we’ve been sending these videos out and how many of these I’ve recorded over the last two years. But we just appreciate you and thank you for your dedication and commitment to our purpose and our cause. So let’s get to some updates and British Columbia. Our attorney has all the information that they need for the X-ray case against the chiropractic college. We are going to continue to push that forward. We’re looking for that to take place probably in October, but our legal team is pretty confident that we’re going to be able to have that under control.
So we’ll be updating you as we dig into that a little bit further. We also, if you’re not aware, had another case that we were working with another chiropractor based on how the chiropractor college was doing their research before they put it together, any type of a penalty or an injunction, as I’m learning about Canada, I’m kind of blown away with the egregious nature of these colleges and how they’re issuing fines and 25,000-30,000 making people shut down for a week or two weeks for minor issues, things that aren’t even rules that should be in place, but the barbaric nature of their work is a problem. And so we’re digging into that not only in British Columbia but elsewhere. We are at a pivotal point where we feel like the chiropractic college is kind of backing down in British Columbia, as it relates to one of the cases that they were trying to appeal.
It appears that that’s not necessarily going to happen. So we’re continuing to work with that. Remember our commitment is to protect the rights of the practicing chiropractor and with you allied health professionals, we want to do the same for you. So please know that you know, we’re looking to make sure that you guys have the right to be able to practice and to communicate the truth that, you know without really any restriction that that is a major issue in our form of healthcare is the restriction of the allopathic world and limiting the truth that we know to be shared. They’re stating it’s outside of our scope. They’re stating we can’t do this. That is endangering the public, all of these garbage reasons that we cannot speak the truth that we have peer-reviewed evidence, evidence that was created by other specialties to support our belief system and the method in which we treat.
That is a major issue for us at The Defense Council and we’re going to continue to push forward with that. Make sure that your rights are protected and that your ability to practice and communicate is intact. So in British Columbia, we’re working on those things. The other thing I’ll tell you, the other collaboration that we’re working with other specialties we know that still from the ministry of health, that there’s all this language about, whether they’re going to put out information about who’s backed and who’s not, we know that you guys receive some information from the ministry with a new public health order. And you know, our team is still really pushing hard against the ministry, telling them that they just need to relax. They need to slow their roll on that. And so we’re monitoring that as well.
I need you to know those things are not being left unattended so they’re being monitored regularly. These are the things that we pay our attorneys for. That’s why they’re on retainer. And that’s what the money that you contribute goes towards. So we appreciate that. And know that that’s happening. I do want to also thank those that have sent me emails and reached out. You know, we do a question of the week every week and we’ve had a number of people emailing questions, but I love the information I’m gathering. I have groups of chiropractors throughout Canada that are willing to sit down with me and share with me the work that they’ve been doing for decades and protecting their rights. And it’s nice that people are seeing us in that role. That is the role that we want to take on.
We need support. We need people connected to us, for sure, but it’s also a huge deal for me that people are trusting us and are able to share that information. So here in the coming months, you’re going to start seeing things coming from us as we start to pick up activity in other provinces, where we have colleges that are really in our opinion, overstepping their ability. It’s time that people are held accountable. It’s time that our profession organizes and sticks together. It’s time that all professions organize and stick together. And when you have another specialty that maybe doesn’t have the organization, we’re happy to step in as long as they’re aligned with our values. And that’s why we’ve been working with allied health in British Columbia as it relates to mandates. So just know that a lot of work is being done. Please continue to send information to us.
Please continue to give us the resources we need to share, and spread the word. You know, our goal was to get over a thousand Canadians connected to us. You know, we’re still at right around that 500 mark. So please, as we’re digging into these issues that affect every single chiropractor and this isn’t a philosophical debate, this is a debate about whether your freedom should be intact. And that’s the work that we’re trying to do. That’s why OneChiropractic created The Defense Council so that we can go out and do that work. So please continue to support, share this with your colleagues, share these videos, send them to our website, and send them to me personally. But we would love to see more engagement with chiropractors around Canada, as we continue to move forward.
We love you and we appreciate you. Thank you so much for who you are and what you do. I will be back with you next Monday, hopefully with some more detailed information on things that are happening, but just know that you’re not alone. Now is the time more than ever for us to stand up and speak our truth. And we’re going to make sure that you have the right to do that without fear of persecution. God bless you. We’ll talk to you next week. (This is a computer-generated transcript. Please forgive any errors.)
