Jordan Peterson threatened with a tribunal if he doesn't agree to social media re-education. Sounds crazy, but it's Canada.
Today in dystopian, authoritarian insanity we once again find Jordan Peterson taking on Canada. You know J.P., right? He rose to fame with an antiquated belief that the government shouldn't be allowed to compel speech. And all these years later, you can have your prison time extended for calling a she a he.
It is Peterson's speech that has run him afoul of the Ontario College of Psychologists. Twelve people complained, and now Peterson faces losing his license for allegedly going too hard in the paint on social media. Peterson broke the news in a lengthy thread.
Here's what happened. The Ontario College of Psychologists is an organization that, quote, "protects your interests by monitoring and regulating the practice of psychology." Jordan Peterson is a registered psychologist. Twelve people complained that Jordan Peterson was harming people.
Not through practicing psychology. None of these people were patients. Peterson was harming people with his WORDS by having political opinions opposed by these twelve people and the OCP.
Peterson, if he wants to remain a psychologist, now needs to submit to mandatory social-media communication retraining (cough:::re-education::cough) with THEIR experts. Failure to do so will result in him facing an in-person tribunal and a suspension of his right to operate as a licensed clinical psychologist.
What harmful words did Peterson use to require such a re-education? Good question. Pretty much all of them.
Basically, any opinion Peterson has that differs from socialist twats like Justin "I Feel Pretty" Trudeau is harmful to any Canadian who hears them. Or, any person anywhere, It wasn't even a dozen Canadians who complained. They were from throughout the globe.
Are you paying attention, America? We still have a right to free speech for now. But there are leftists in THIS country who will read something like this and start finding a way to make it possible here. Two Democratic senators in the past week alone have expressed their disdain for free speech.
This is why we say to stay vigilant. Canada is what happens when you don't.
This man has been demonized by the radical Left for years. He has a much stronger will than I ever could in the same position. (I’m a nurse, but generally avoid all social media (FB, Twitter, etc) because of possible threats to my license. I have to work - no way around it.)
Jordan Peterson is an inspiration for millions, and he shouldn't worry about this petty license board that couldn't hold a candle to him.
