B.C. college instructor fired over Hamas comments reinstated

An arbitrator has reinstated an instructor who was fired by a B.C. college after making comments that some interpreted as praising the Hamas-led attacks in Israel two years ago.
Natalie Knight, an English instructor at Vancouver’s Langara College, was dismissed in January, 2024, after being placed on paid leave in the wake of comments she made at a rally a few weeks after the attacks.
