EXCLUSIVE: New ethics code tells nurses to denounce “white, European” medicine
The Canadian Nurses Association’s 2025 Code of Ethics for Nurses denounces what it calls the “white, European-centric” foundations of modern medicine.
Some snips:
The Canadian Nurses Association’s 2025 Code of Ethics for Nurses denounces what it calls the “white, European-centric” foundations of modern medicine and compels nurses to adopt a broad set of radical, progressive political beliefs as part of their professional duties.
Regulated Canadian nurses are now required to align their conduct with a detailed set of political values — among them, social justice, gender ideology, Indigenous belief systems, and climate activism.
Nurses are now required to acknowledge “the historical and continuous impact that White, European-centric models of nursing and health have on the perpetuation of anti-Indigenous racism, anti- Black racism, and other types of racism.”
Under the social justice section, the Code states that nurses must apply a “planetary health lens” to their care. The language goes further, instructing nurses to understand the “interconnectedness between nature (e.g., human beings, plants, animal species and
non-living entities)” [emphasis added] and to recognize the “rights of nature and the planet.” Climate disruption is linked to patient outcomes, and climate activism is framed as an ethical response to health inequality.
The section on Indigenous health further requires nurses to integrate “Indigenous ways of knowing” into care delivery. These include ceremony, intergenerational trauma frameworks, and land-based teachings. Nurses are expected to understand the ongoing effects of colonization and adapt care to align with those narratives. Cultural safety, in this model, is defined by the client rather than the provider and determined through the lens of tribal identity.
Even nurses who conscientiously object to certain procedures — including assisted suicide, abortion, gender-affirming interventions, or supervised drug use — must continue care until a substitute is found. The Code emphasizes that personal beliefs must not interfere with access to services and places responsibility on nurses to ensure continuity of care.
What about honest to goodness nursing care instead of propaganda tripe.
As a retired Canadian RN I find this a disturbing mind manipulation of the highest order and count my blessings I am no longer practising it leaves me speechless.
