Medical officers of health are free to speak on Kyoto, confirms Ralph Klein, premier of Alberta. The Palliser Health Authority plans to meet today to reconsider the firing of David Swann.
But perhaps David Swann wasn’t fired for his unpopular views on Kyoto? Was he perhaps fired for inappropriately using his public position to air his political views? After all, when he gave a speech titled “Genocide In Iraq”, he was identified only by his University of Calgary affiliation.
(The Iraq genocide Swann is concerned about is caused by UN sanctions, not Saddam. And according to this Globe and Mail reporter, the 1.5 million body count Swann attributes to sanctions is made up.)
