Ontario’s physicians’ regulator has dismissed dozens of complaints against a Toronto trauma surgeon who had been targeted by a Canadian gun lobby group for her advocacy on gun control. ( Steve Russell / Toronto Star )The complaints stemmed from a campaign led by the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights (CCFR), which posted a step-by-step guide encouraging members to file complaints against Ahmed on its website in February. “I respect the CPSO and the CPSO process,” Ahmed told the Star in an email. The gun lobby group last month posted a “call to action” urging members to flood the college with complaints against Ahmed, even if they have never been her patient.
