The case of a Saskatchewan nurse facing a $26,000 fine for criticizing her grandfather's care on Facebook will be heard by the province's highest court today.

Carolyn Strom was found guilty of professional misconduct by the Saskatchewan Registered Nurses Association in 2016 and handed the financial penalty.

It all started after Strom made Facebook comments in February 2015 criticizing unnamed staff at her grandfather's long term-care facility in Macklin, Sask., following his death. The nurses association asks the Appeal Court whether professionals have the charter right to say whatever they want on social media, and publicly embarrass health-care facilities without getting all of the facts.
