Canada doesn’t have first amendment protections. Thankfully we do.

Peterson should pretend to submit to the "retraining," then re-appear on YouTube smiling vacuously, and repeating in a monotone voice, "Trudeau...good! I...feel...much...better...now! Trudeau...good! I...feel...much...better...now!"

Bullshit. Peterson has gone up against academia at large and has challenged universities all over the world re: their Wokeness. He has been under attack by the Canadian government and has never backed down.

He has been threatened with truckloads of lawsuits and has never wavered.

Professional Boards are politicized in the US as well. Not quite as blatant as the Canadian police state, but on the way. California doctors can now be prosecuted for rendering medical opinions that are not state approved. Psychologists can be prosecuted in many states for entertaining homosexual patients requests for help in transitioning to heterosexuality. For those who still wonder what’s going on, these are indications of the development of a totalitarian police state, in progress right before your eyes.

He should write a post saying “in my professional opinion, and it is an opinion only, not a diagnosis, and which is backed up by facts, Justine is exhibiting clear signs of mental instability and insecurity, and fancies himself a dictator who thinks he has the right to control free speech. This is very common among despots and dictators. Justine is attempting to turn Canada into a dictatorship akin to China, North Korea, Venezuelea etc. All freedom loving Canadians should oppose such tyranny, remembering g the brutality observed in China a d other places run by rogue govenrments.”

Anecdotally, that sentiment is gaining traction from places I would have never expected, although not directly expressed.
Its being couched in terms of "good vs. evil", and that bodes 'no mercy' if that levee breaks.

Great offer but you know the US probably won’t let him cross the border...can’t have a radical, right-wing loony professor out walking around free to speak his mind.

Didn’t Szasz also say something about the mental illness being present in the culture itself?

People in the US and United Kingdom as well as Canada should send money to a defense fund and make it massive to take down this whole agenda as well as this specific case.

I dunno. He seems like he wants to stay and fight.

He’s seemed different since he went through his health issues back in 2020. Before, yeah, he was plainspoken and would call out the hypocrisies that he saw in the academy, but he was always civil and polite, with a more approachable demeanor.

Now, he’s changed. More aggressive. More “in your face”, and more willing to use sharper language to define his opponents (correctly) and pursuing evil ends.

So at least this round, my money is that he makes this as public, and embarrassing for his opponents as possible, and not giving them the opportunity to assume the mantle of “the good guys”. These woke would-be tyrants are relentless, but they’re soft. JP knows that, and no one is more effective at skewering them when he gets his back up.

The depressing thing about 1984 is that at the end Big Brother wins.

Is that what’s in store for us?

Jordan Peterson has plenty of FU money. But if you listen to his lectures and interviews he genuinely loves helping his clients which would be the only reason to go through with this witch trial.

Can you imagine experience of the “trainer” who will be attempting to “retrain” Jordan Perterson on social media communications. Sort of like trying to teach a very smart, angry twenty foot crocodile some bogus tricks. The crock won’t learn anything but everyone will respect you just for coming out alive.

Of course, he won’t agree to the retraining. Once he agrees, they will threaten to withhold the completion certificate. The disciplinary hearing is, at least, a formal proceeding that it will be possible to challenge legally.

Calm down....All I said was he a lot more sensitive to peoples thinking, than some think/accuse which is why he will worry about such events.

He needs all our support.
