Free speech applies to the private sphere in Canada? It seems like that would have implications on every social media platform, search engine, and so on.
It's a bit of a gray area. The issue, as far as I can tell, is whether or not he's speaking in a professional manor on his social media, as he would be expected to with any patient he sees.

It's an issue of what a private board can cover and enforce their rules over and what they can't. Anything they can't is government.
