Peterson has generated controversy in recent years with several posts calling out transgender ideology, politicians, and other topics. Last year, the psychologist was suspended from Twitter, now X, for rebuking transgender actor Elliot Page.
Peterson posted, "Remember when pride was a sin? And Ellen Page just had her breasts removed by a criminal physician." Peterson was let back onto the platform following Elon Musk’s takeover of the social media company.
That same year, Peterson also trashed Sports Illustrated for featuring a plus-sized model on its May cover, posting, "Sorry. Not beautiful. And no amount of authoritarian tolerance is going to change that."
For those posts and similar ones, the College of Psychologists ordered Peterson to undergo the training. It stated that if he refused, he could lose his psychology license in Ontario.
Peterson responded on social media in January, "To clarify: it's been decided: I either submit to social media communication retraining or face a disciplinary hearing and possible suspension of my clinical license and the right to represent myself as a psychologist."
Peterson then filed a judicial review of the College of Psychologists of Ontario’s order, arguing that the body does not have control over his political commentary on social media.

Canadia.
This is absolutely the way the United States is headed.
Old-time liberal: I believe in free speech.
Modern “progressive”: I believe in free speech, too. Except for hate speech and fake news. And of course, I get to decide what is hate speech and what is fake news.
Soon to be the United States.
The coming Cashless economy will make possible a China like Social Credit Score.
When that is implemented you will not be able to buy or sell without the approval of the beast.
Canada, the land of friendly fascists.
Putting the DUH back in Canada for real.
Próximamente en los Estados Unidos.
Peterson is appealing to a higher court, and he is noting that the people who are pushing this do not yet realize how their lives are going to be turned upside down by their actions. He is mad, and he is fighting.
He has an entire podcast on this topic that is worth the listen.
“forced” in the sense of keeping his psych license in Ontario. He has numerous other opportunities, but Peterson intends to fight this all the way to the top.
Among Peterson’s objections is the impact the Marxist ruling has on other professionals (and Canadians in general) and their ability to speak the truth — especially when it concerns the “gender affirming” barbarism. His fight in this regard is every citizen’s fight.
He’s smart as a whip, has red line principles, and is independently wealthy. PLEASE make a video of his reeducation sessions! LOL
“Modern “progressive”: I believe in free speech, too. Except for hate speech and fake news. And of course, I get to decide what is hate speech and what is fake news.”
You really summarized that quite well.
When communists are not in power, they promote “free speech” so they can spread their poison.
When communists are in power, they regulate speech with an iron fist and a hobnailed boot, lest anyone should object to their poison.
Communist style reeducation.
Brainwashing , waterboarding etc etc etc
Canada is a Communist country.
I am a huge fan of Jordan Peterson’s. I do not agree with him on everything, but my gosh, is he ever the right person to fight this, because he is utterly fearless in this respect.
Canada is a Communist country.
I suspect that at the end of his re-education, he would convert some of the teachers.
