Ontario Court upholds revocation of Dr. Mark Trozzi’s medical license over misinformation
Counsel for Dr. Trozzi describes this decision as a crisis of legitimacy within the judicial system, citing it as part of a troubling trend in the Court of Appeal, where precedents that protect free expression have increasingly been sidelined in favour of politically-motivated narratives.
In a sobering decision, three Ontario court justices have upheld an October 2023 tribunal ruling that found Dr. Mark Trozzi guilty of professional misconduct and incompetence, which ultimately led to the revocation of his medical license. The justices determined that while Dr. Trozzi is free to express his views, his unrefuted claims on the COVID-19 science, coined “misinformation,” crossed a line that deserved severe professional consequences.
Dr. Trozzi, a now former emergency room physician, had been under investigation by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) for his vocal opposition to public health measures and his claims about what he refers to as a "Criminal COVID Enterprise." Despite his legal team's efforts to defend his right to express his beliefs, the court upheld the tribunals decision in branding him “ungovernable.”
Justices Meyers, Newton, and Shore acknowledged Dr. Trozzi’s right to free speech but made it clear that freedom of expression does not shield individuals from the legal and professional repercussions of exercising it. The appeal court's verdict also upheld the CPSO's decision to fine Trozzi nearly $100,000.
Trozzi's lawyer, Michael Alexander, shared that the case centered around the contention that Trozzi's claims about the vaccine were never sufficiently refuted. He argued that the CPSO's assertion of a broad "overwhelming consensus" on vaccine safety failed to address the scientific evidence Trozzi had put forward.
Yet, the justices dismissed this defence, insisting that scientific discourse must remain confined within professional boundaries —boundaries that were effectively silenced during the height of COVID hysteria, when sweeping censorship and explicit threats of reprimand made open debate all but impossible.
The court also pointed to Trozzi's more inflammatory statements, including calls for the "lawful" killing of prominent figures like Bill Gates and Dr. Anthony Fauci. Alexander argued these political statements should have been considered – and balanced – in the context of Trozzi's scientific critiques.
Alexander contends that further legal battles are unlikely to succeed, given that the Court of Appeal appears indifferent to the right to free expression when it challenges politically-favoured narratives, and continues to unquestioningly uphold the "safe and effective" mantra promoted by pharmaceutical interests.
“They have already sent the message that we don’t want these COVID-19 loud mouth professionals messing up our administrative state,” says Alexander.
“If you’re somebody who speaks too politically like Jordan Peterson, the court of appeal is not going to hear whether somebody has trampled on your right to free expression. If you’ve been discussing COVID science, you’re not going to get a hearing. If you’re arguing that the college should never have proceeded against you because it didn’t have reasonable and probable grounds for its investigation, the court of appeal is not going to hear you. We have a crisis of legitimacy in our court system now.”

Howard Mirkin commented 2024-11-09 19:33:12 -0500If he can find strong enough support, that would be the way to go, but I have no idea how many doctors in Canada are standing up for freedom or how well they are organized. I know there are some in the USA, like the FLCCC https://covid19criticalcare.com/, and if he has the resources he can fight the fight from other countries where there is some remaining semblance of freedom to speak. He doesn’t necessarily have to stay in Canada. I found other organizations like this one https://www.doctorsforfreedom.org/, https://freedomdoctoralliance.com/. There are probably others, but it takes money and other resources. He might have a better chance if PP becomes PM after next year’s elections – if there are any.

Robin Naismith commented 2024-11-09 19:11:28 -0500Well Howard,from what I think is that the doctor should continue on with the battle and he should expose the hipocrisy of the medical association and the lying crap that they peddled during the Pandemic & the Garbage vaccines,which were nothing more than Tainted/ Garbage drugs

Howard Mirkin commented 2024-11-09 18:43:42 -0500While it would seem to be a no-brainer for a competent doctor to get work in another country, it is not easy. The requirements in most other countries include having a license elsewhere. See some examples here:
https://www.hippocraticadventures.com/countries-that-accept-american-credentials/
The doctor’s union in the USA, a.k.a. the American Medical Association and state med boards make it difficult. This is a possible work around: “… If you can find a Doctor who is willing to let you “practice medicine” under their License, you might be able to get away with it…”
There are some medical positions like consulting that may not require a license: healthcare administration, consulting, or education. “These roles may not require a medical license but still leverage their medical knowledge and experience.”
There might be some possibilities in common law countries where licensing is not required. I did not look into that aspect. Occupational licensing. is really protection against competition, but that is another argument for another time. https://www.perplexity.ai/search/if-a-doctor-loses-his-license-VueFvg7iTGWsS9IuQW9M7A -
Robin Naismith commented 2024-11-09 17:50:48 -0500Yes,you are Absolutely right about that Barry. What the medical board of higher ups did was totally wrong in their decision and they are gonna pay for that wrong decision by not getting any more good doctors since this info will be out there for all to see

Barry Neil commented 2024-11-09 15:34:17 -0500A ridiculous and unjust decision that does nothing to restore public confidence in Canadian courts and institutions. Dr. Tozzi will now be lost to ON and probably Canada as he is forced to take his medical skills and more importantly his principles and ethics elsewhere.

Howard Mirkin commented 2024-11-09 07:41:55 -0500Robin, Anonymous,
Robin: What I meant was that I disagree that the tide is turning in favor of freedom to any significant degree. The doctor of course should be restored and compensated for these injustices. Regret any confusion.
Anonymous: Any strategy/tactics need to also consider what the enemy will or will not do. A long ago mentor told me that when planning, every plan must have assumptions, and every assumption requires a new plan, or, as then General Eisenhower said, “Planning is everything, the plan is nothing”. Another version is that no plan survives first contact with the enemy. And when a great many people are not even aware that there is an enemy or toss off its existence as conspiracy theories, it complicates matters even more. Then there is the problem of proving the enemy has committed crimes. How do we counter an enemy that controls the very institutions that are supposed to be used for countering enemies, especially when the enemy controls the nation’s military? Taking them to court means needing a lot of luck to get an honest judge willing to stick his or her neck out. My objective is to try to create more and more awareness so the people understand that they have to say No to things like enslaving CBDCs, digitalIDs, and other forms of government control. You might want to look this over: I think it will take us in the right direction if implemented well. https://merylnass.substack.com/p/trump-offers-a-10-point-blueprint -

And that for society to advance to the Knowledge Age, they cannot be in positions of influence. I think parallel structures, or parallel polis as the Czechs called it when ignoring their totalitarian sellouts by building alternates, might be one strategy, among others, to avoid the evil future the WEF is trying to push with their Fourth Industrial Age.

Robin Naismith commented 2024-11-08 12:40:17 -0500I get what your saying Howard,but I think what this medical committee did to this doctor was Absolutely wrong and they need to be held accountable for their wrong doing and the doctor has done the right thing with getting the story out through Rebel News because it helps with Shaming these types of power hungry Scumbags

Howard Mirkin commented 2024-11-08 12:33:38 -0500Robin, I wish I could agree, but looking back in time, the left (call them anything that means seekers of total control of everything and everyone) never stops. Remember when communism was as dead as a doornail? They just morphed into globalists with new names for old objectives – the WEF does the planning and the UN (including WHO) attempts to carry out the operations. When one attack on humanity fails they have many other works in progress, a number of them seemingly unrelated, yet all tentacles of the greater scheme. I have no doubts that they are constantly infiltrating their members into positions of powerful influence. Look at the UK. Charles, Starmer, Khan now run the country. We on the right tend to cheer at small victories, then rest on our laurels while the left just changes emphasis and direction to distract, mislead and change the narrative. How many times has the pandemic treaty nee agreement nee treaty been pronounced DOA and then resurrected. This, of course, is to get people to get so fed up that they just agree to about anything so they can get on with their own agendas. Not only do we have to be concerned about losses, but small victories as well.

Robin Naismith commented 2024-11-07 23:50:56 -0500Who really knows Howard, I think in some ways the tide is turning a bit in the medical field. They can No longer push the garbage narrative any more. Not to mention here, the medical system right now is in quite the trouble especially with there being major shortages in doctors & nurses

Howard Mirkin commented 2024-11-07 23:26:17 -0500He is unlikely to get his license back because the Canadian electorate voted in a globalist who seeks total power. Bote in a better government next year and then there might be possibilities. Given it is only a year to elections, now is the time to start planning and get some creative solutions on minimizing the possibilities for a repetition of this kind of tyranny.

Robin Naismith commented 2024-11-07 21:17:16 -0500In my view Dr.Mark Tozzi should get his medical license back because we all know that the medical communities were force to go along with our government’s Bullcrap
