Dr. Jordan Peterson Ordered to Undergo 'Social Media Retraining' as Canada Becomes More and More Like the Former USSR

By Bob Hoge
January 05, 2023

Opinionated psychologist and social media star Dr. Jordan Peterson claimed on Twitter Tuesday that the College of Psychologists of Ontario is requiring him to undergo “social media retraining” as punishment for his tweets criticizing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the country’s draconian COVID policies, refusing to use preferred pronouns, saying that a plus-size model was not in fact beautiful, “dead-naming” trans actor Ellen (now Elliot) Page, among other non-woke transgressions.

The College of Psychologists of Ontario is the body that oversees and sets the standards for the profession of psychology in Ontario and could suspend Peterson’s clinical license if he refuses the indoctrination.

He followed up with several more missives:

Quote
“I have been accused of harming people (although none of the complainants involved in the current action were clients of mone [sic], past or present, or en [sic] were even acquainted with any of my clients,” he wrote.

“About a dozen people from all over the world submitted complaints about my public statements on Twitter and [podcaster Joe] Rogan over a four year period (out of the 15 million who follow me on social media) claiming that I had “harmed” people (not them) with my views.”

Think this Soviet-style thought policing couldn’t happen here in the good old US of A? Think again. California recently signed into law the anti-free-speech, anti-first-amendment law AB 2098, which allows the state medical board to revoke the licenses of those who spread “misinformation.” The totalitarian measure seems explicitly written to invite abuse; it doesn’t take long to realize that Governor Gavin Newsom or one of his functionaries could label any thought they don’t like as “misinformation,” and promptly ruin the career of the person who dared stray from state orthodoxy.

It's frightening to see the Canadian people so (apparently) willing to have no rights at all, least of all the freedom of speech.

No First Amendment, and,
No Second Amendment to back up the first one.

Insofar as basic rights are concerned, the Canadian people are... toast.

Who would have ever believed that freedom in the English-speaking nations could vanish so quickly?

The Canadians never believed in freedom. They believe in monarchy and the benevolence of Big Government.

@jordanbpeterson
I have been sentenced by @CPOntario to mandatory communications retraining in part because I retweeted @PierrePoilievre. It's time for the commissars there to resign.

That also applies to the Europeans
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.
