When Does Workplace Speech Cross the Line?

📝 DESCRIPTION
When does workplace speech cross the line?

A federal employee was dismissed after making political comments about Black Lives Matter, mask mandates, and the Kamloops residential school controversy. In this video, we unpack how public service roles place additional weight on every word, balancing personal conviction with institutional trust. This story goes beyond one firing—it’s about how democracy thrives when citizens and public servants speak with responsibility and respect.

We reflect on shared values: freedom of expression, accountability, respect for diversity, and the moral duty to uphold informed dialogue. Whether you agree or disagree with her statements, the question remains: how do we ensure our words don’t fracture the civic trust that holds us together?

💡 What role should personal beliefs play at work?
💡 How do we draw lines between free speech and professional responsibility?
