A governing body for psychologists in Canada ordered Dr. Jordan Peterson to undergo re-education training after complete strangers took issue with views he had expressed online.
He fought back, but a Canadian court just upheld the regulator's order.
What's the background?
Peterson was previously in good standing with the College of Psychologists of Ontario and had no public record of any complaints. However, he made the mistake of angering strangers online with opinions at odds with leftist speech codes and dogmas.
TheBlaze previously reported that individuals whom Peterson indicated were neither clients nor familiar with his clients complained to the CPO, which then launched an investigation into the cultural commentator.
The CPO's inquiries, complaints, and reports committee concluded in November 2022 that the doctor's comments were "degrading, demeaning and unprofessional," adding that his conduct "poses moderate risks to the public" and runs the risk of "undermining public trust in the profession of psychology, and trust in the college's ability to regulate the profession in the public interest."

he has consistently said
he will not comply
Below is a Russian joke from the Soviet era. I guess it’s now applicable to Canada, too. And maybe to the United States as well.
Foreign reporter: What is your opinion on farm collectivization?
Soviet citizen: I agree with the policy of the party.
Foreign reporter: What is your opinion on the steel production goals?
Soviet citizen: I agree with the policy of the party.
Foreign reporter: What is your opinion on the increase in food prices?
Soviet citizen: I agree with the policy of the party.
Foreign reporter: Don’t you have any opinions of your own?
Soviet citizen: Yes. But I don’t agree with them.
Straight out of Atlas Shrugged. The entire world is going Soviet.
The entire world is going Communist.
Now they are going after your thoughts.
The lefties keep pushing and pushing in every way possible, and there is no effective force against it.
Thought police.
Trudeau has really destroyed Canada. It’s a different country now than before he was ever elected. I don’t know if they can ever get the country back.
Candada has gone full Moaist. So much for constitutional monarchy under Charles III.
Indeed, Peterson has said he will not comply with any anti-free-speech laws, and its been a constant theme since he became famous with his opposition to Canadian Government “gender pronoun” bill C-16 in 2017, and its equivalent requirement at University of Toronto where he was a professor.
It will be very interesting to watch how this plays out - because its he’s been in training for this moment for the past 6 years.
Why not? The leftists seem to think that they will gain absolute power and will always keep it once they get it. But if you train people in the ways of savagery, that savagery may get turned on you subsequently.
It is very sad. Trudeau has frogmarch the Country to irrational authoritarianism informmed by Trudeau’s whim. The Country is almost unrecognizable.
Sounds like Communist China , will they harvest his Organs next
The left, like Islam, believe their ideology is inevitable. They ca not accept that they could be wrong.
Excellent
Notice that Canada is just as repressive as the old stereotypes still spouted about the communists of the former Soviet Union

Sorry, dudes and dudettes of the committee, your ruling made me distrust the profession more. Dr. Peterson was on his way to restoring my trust before you blew it.

They will have to burn his brain. The authorities can't risk what might spread if exposed to it...
“there is no effective force against it”
If people would rather be slaves than consider the possibility that they might be wrong about the existence of God, what are you gonna do?
Some people gotta learn everything the hard way.
Straight out of the communist playbook.
