Jordan Peterson says “the war has barely started” after losing his bid to have the courts bar the College of Psychologists of Ontario from ordering him to undergo remedial social media training. On Tuesday, a panel of three judges with the Ontario Court of Appeal dismissed Peterson’s motion for leave to appeal an earlier decision by the Ontario Divisional Court. No reasons were given, which is normal for the appeal court. “A higher court in Canada has ruled that the Ontario College of Psychologists indeed has the right to sentence me to re-education camp. There are no other legal avenues open to me now,” Peterson wrote on X. “It’s capitulate to the petty bureaucrats and the addle-pated woke mob or lose my professional licence.” Peterson said that the college had “won this round,” but the war is not over. “There is nothing you can take from me that I’m unwilling to lose,” he wrote. “So watch out. Seriously. You’ve been warned.” Howard Levitt, who represented the controversial psychologist and best-selling author, said they are unable to appeal further. “I think it’s going to be a licence to regulatory bodies to be more aggressive,” said Levitt, a Toronto employment lawyer and Financial Post columnist. In another tweet, posted Wednesday morning, Peterson said he wants “the entire current crop of minions at the College of Psychologists to publicly apologize and then resign.” He started a poll on X so his followers could bet on whether this would happen, or that his licence to practice psychology would be suspended.
