Dr. Canaday has been a staunch supporter of common sense, freedom of choice and free speech since the carnival of control started with the pandemic lockdowns and mandates here in New Zealand. Early on, he visited us here in Wanaka, and gave a very informative and well-researched talk at the local community centre which was well attended by over fifty people. The next day we drove to Queenstown to hear a panel of New Zealand experts present a roundtable discussion presenting their perspective of the situation. After the panel discussion ended, I asked Peter what he thought about the quality of the cases presented. He wasn’t impressed.
The statement below was just released by Dr. Canaday regarding the medical tribunal coming up here in New Zealand. More details will follow after the tribunal has concluded. However anyone able and willing to attend in support either in the gallery or outside are encouraged to do so in New Plymouth.
Dr. Canaday’s statement:
“The show begins at 0900 on Monday 17 April at the Devon Hotel in New Plymouth (390 Devon St East, Strandon, NP) and is scheduled to run through Friday 21 April.
The Tribunal was given an opportunity to live-stream this event due to an expected significant public interest in this proceeding. I had offered to provide the equipment and we had some volunteers at the camera, but they refused.
Their answer was to increase the publicly available seats from 15 to 30 and switch to a different hearing room. (Of these, I may retain about 5 for family, support people, close friends).
To date, the hotel management has not provided any a priori method of dealing with any overflow of attendees, if there is one. I’m not sure what could be done for people that may come from outside NP if there are limited seats, but I can try to do what I can to help if that occurs.
My lawyers have advised that I keep mum about any proceedings during the week, until the Tribunal is completed and we have their determination. After that, the gag will be off, and I’ll be ready to talk about it at length.
I have good relations with Adam Holloway and Matthew McClellan, and I think they are doing a good job within the limitations of a legal system that makes up “misconduct” and “misinformation” out of whole cloth.
The PCC has made enough mistakes that we intend to take advantage of them. For the moment, I have to live in this surreal world, as we all have since 2020. I feel confident that we have a chance to make it a bit less absurd.”
