Canada doesn’t have reeducation camps…yet.
But Justin Trudeau’s Canada is making progress towards becoming China’s North American twin. Compliance with the ideological diktats of the intelligentsia is apparently a requirement in order to keep your job these days.
Yesterday Jordan Peterson revealed and the College of Ontario Psychologists acknowledged that he has been “sentenced” to mandatory retraining in order to retain his license to practice clinical psychology in Canada.
I am to take a course of such training (with reports documenting my "progress" or face an in-person tribunal and suspension of my right to operate as a licensed clinical psychologist.

Just in case you didn’t know, Pierre Poilievre is the leader of the opposition Conservative Party in Canada, meaning that Jordan Peterson is literally being punished for criticizing the current Prime Minister and retweeting the statement of his political opponent–and a mainstream one at that.
The claim is that Jordan Peterson’s social media statements caused some unspecified “harm” to patients through his social media statements. This is the kind of “harm” and “trauma” we hear of all the time these days: people claiming to be traumatized by the existence of opinions to which they do not agree. Disagreement or having unapproved opinions is now a form of “stochastic terrorism,” a nonsense term used to smear ideological opponents.
In its wisdom @CPOntario decided to pursue these complaints even though they could have dismissed [email protected] vexatious

One would think that an organization that regulates clinical psychologists would focus on the impact such psychologists have on their patients. But rather than focusing on that, the organization has chosen to accept the word of random people who claim to have been harmed by Peterson having opinions that differ from theirs.
And even though many of them falsely claimed that they were or had been clients of mine and were allowed by @CPOntario to have their complaints investigated despite this falsehood

If I comply the terms of my re-education and my punishment will be announced publicly. I have already had the second most serious category of punishment levied against me and have been deemed at high risk to "re-offend."

A noose has been put around the necks of any member of a profession class who deviates from the accepted Narrative, which means that professional organizations have become economic and social status shock troops for the Left. Even if Canada were legally friendlier to free speech (and it is not, with Human Rights Commissions holding way too much power over the acceptable speech of people in the country), anybody in the professional class is under threat of losing their livelihoods should they step out of line.
The boundaries of acceptable speech are becoming narrower and narrower (as has happened in California with doctors, who are now legally liable if they deviate from the accepted COVID Narrative).
Ask Queen's U [email protected] @PardyBruce if he concurs on the legal front.

Peterson is utterly correct: if any licensed professional can lose his right to practice if they deviate from the Left ideology a widespread Lysenkoism is the inevitable result. All “expert” advice and knowledge is essentially regulated by ideological enforcers whose sole concern is maintaining a political unanimity, not ensuring the best outcome for the clients.
I am willing (if @CPOntario concurs, which they won't) to make absolutely every word of all this fully public so that everyone can decide for themselves what is actually happening

Canada is becoming a dystopia with a smiley face, and Trudeau a tyrant with a great haircut.
This is a sad commentary on our medical field. It’s as corrupt as the government.
He looks like the “most interesting man in the world”.
How Soviet of them.
THIS is unbelievable but certainly the wave of the future.
Diversity? BbbbbWwwwaahhhhhhhhaaaaaa!
Wow! Can you imagine having him as a student in your reeducation class? How bad do you have to screw up to be the teacher of that class?
I’d pay to watch that. He should insist they air it.
FU, Canada
He’s high profile. That’s why they are attacking him.
Get him and everybody else falls in line.
It’s the criminalization of contrary opinion. It’s the most dangerous of trends... we aren’t far behind the Canucks..
Can anyone simplify this? What exactly did Jordan say or tweet etc that they are pointing to? Sounds a little vague.
"If you think tough men are dangerous, just wait until you see what weak men are capable of."
"If you think tough men are dangerous, just wait until you see what weak men are capable of."
There’s a medical establishment too. We’re headed for a dark age if things don’t turn around.
Your feelings are yours and they are what you chose to feel, they are not dictated by anyth9ng someone else says. If you don’t like what someone else says, and or you disagree with it , you have the ability to first think about how you WANT/DESIRE to react, before you react. If your chose to let it “hurt your feelings” it is because you chose have it do that.
In other words, your reaction to words is your choice. it is not dictated by what is said.
Modern civilization is cratering.
All the examples of where this sort of witch hunt leads
societies from the past, are being ignored.
This is a tactic right out of the Dark Ages. No personal
beliefs, thoughts, or observations for you.
You will conform to modern collective thought or be put
to put to social and or economic death.
This isn’t going to be limited to individuals either. The
scope will expand to groups, and boy if you are a member
of the wrong group, your social grade will be and F, and
then...

Hard times create strong men,
Strong men create good times,
Good times create weak men,
And weak men create hard times.
