Jordan Peterson throws down, warns 'the war has barely started' after Canadian court affirms he must undergo 're-education'

Jordan Peterson is throwing down with gusto and promising that "the war has barely started" after yet another Canadian court ruled he must submit to "re-education" due to his un-woke ways.

A three-judge panel with the Ontario Court of Appeal on Tuesday dismissed Peterson’s challenge against a previous decision by the Ontario Divisional Court, the National Post reported.

The fight is over Peterson's past comments and speech that the College of Psychologists of Ontario reportedly said "may cause harm." A year ago Peterson said he "formally indicated" his "refusal to comply" with the CPO's demands that he undergo "re-education" over his speech.

In the wake of the Court of Appeal's ruling, Peterson hopped on social media and promised a massive fight: Sign up for the Blaze newsletter

"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," he wrote while ripping "petty bureaucrats and the addle-pated woke mob" who seem intent on taking Peterson's professional license.

But Peterson promised more rounds in the fight are coming: "The war has barely started. There is nothing you can take from me that I'm unwilling to lose. So watch out. Seriously. You've been warned."

Peterson last January posted to X parts of a document from the College of Psychologists of Ontario that outlined its concern over his "public statements made on social media and during a January 25, 2022, podcast appearance" that "may have lacked professionalism."

The document indicates that Peterson is to work with another professional to “review, reflect on, and ameliorate [his] professionalism in public statements" and complete a "Coaching Program."

Peterson's stated refusal to comply could result in discipline for professional misconduct, according the document's language.

With that, Peterson filed for a review of the committee's ruling. In August, the Ontario Divisional Court ruled against Peterson, concluding that the committee's ruling "is not disciplinary and does not prevent Dr. Peterson from expressing himself on controversial topics; it has a minimal impact on his right to freedom of expression."

Peterson shot back on X: "If you think that you have a right to free speech in Canada you're delusional. I will make every aspect of this public ... Bring it."

Later in August, Peterson doubled down, saying if push comes to shove, he'd attempt to capture "re-education" efforts on video and share it all with the world.

Canada is a slave state, obviously.

The U.S. needs to liberate Canada. The government there has become every bit as tyrannical as the old Soviet Union.

What else would we expect from Prime Minister Justin Castro? (Yes, his Dad was Fidel Castro).

Peterson vs. spineless, faceless, craven woke Canadian bureaucrats.

it will be fun to watch.

Peterson is a serious man and intellectual, who considers the consequence and morality of all actions with great weight. So he always speaks with gravity

Its not in his nature, but he should add a note of comedy and mockery to his intellectual war with this woke bastards. It would make him even more effective with 21st century simps in Canada.

JT has ushered in quite the fascist State on our border. Collectivism has finally consumed Canadian’s freedom, yet I bet most of them still don’t see it.

For those who haven’t noticed, “1984” has arrived in Canada. And it arrived in America with the Patriot Act, years ago.

Sadly, we’re not in much better shape here in the U.S.

I don’t follow him but thought he was supposed to do that ages ago.

Record and post all discussions openly and online for all to see and evaluate for themselves.

And it would be wonderful viewing. Intellect versus ideology. I predict intellect will win. Hands down.

....speech that the College of Psychologists of Ontario reportedly said "may cause harm."

But it's ok for the schools to tell their little boys and girls "they might want to have their boobs and dicks cut off to find out who they really are!"

psychologists... said “may cause harm.”

~~~

public health was the guise under which so many of our constitutional freedoms were suppressed under covid.
The fascist authoritarians have learned the best way to manipulate the legal system

Demonstrating here that Canada also suffers from an abundance of ill-prepared jurists who are unsuited for jobs in law.

Is irony lost on you? You’re sitting in the privacy of your own home and typing at a computer keypad and what you’re posting is being seen by thousands of people world wide and you think this is ‘’1984’’?

You still have the freedom to speak out. Or not. No one is forcing you either way.

"Re-education"

Actually, they're known as "thought transformation" centers, and they are very fun places as you can see in this one in China.

I have watched many of his videos. He is extremely persuasive. I imagine that anyone assigned to re-educate Jordan Peterson will end up being re-educated themselves. And if they put him in some group, the results will not be what they expect.

oh yeah... I heard his podcast about this. Peterson says he wants to broadcast it as content on his podcast. If it’s legitimate then they should not be afraid to make it public.
