Fired B.C. teacher wins job back after pro-Freedom Convoy presentation

On Jan. 28, 2022, Richmond, B.C., teacher Nicole Kowal-Seafoot told a colleague before a presentation that, “I might be losing my job today.” More than four years after she did lose her job, for a presentation that was in favour of the self-styled “Freedom Convoy,” a labour arbitrator has ruled that the Richmond School District’s decision was excessive.
