We can’t afford to lose Jordan Peterson in Canada! This treatment of him is outrageous and he plans to fight it, thank goodness. All Canadians had better wake up fast before they experience the same communist treatment. Thx for covering this on your substack!

This is a good reminder about the dangers of state licensing, in case we needed one.

The state should NOT have the power to determine who can practice as a psychologist, a doctor, or anything else! This whole state licensing regime has been responsible for the whole disaster called Covid and many other medical travesties over the last century.

Let the free market handle certifications and let the individual decide whom they want to patronize!

Dr Peterson shines a very strong light on his enemies inadequacies/incompetence/malevolence (take your pick) of which there are plenty. The harder they push the more they reveal themselves. It is so disappointing that someone who has contributed so much to humankind is being treated so appallingly. Thank you Dr McCullough and Mr Leake for this article and for your persistence in the pursuit of the truth.

Canada my former homeland is now being seen for what it is and has been for decades. A socialist quagmire now trending towards communism.

This is yet another example - out of hundreds the past few years - of how much globalists have corrupted governments, medical boards and agencies, medical schools, mainstream news and social media. This criminal suppression of truth has been happening over and over in Canada, Europe, the UK, US, Australia and New Zealand. All because these nations have been taken over by globalists. This same suppression of truth will be used against anyone who opposes climate, fake food and digital currency operations, as well as future falsely inflated pandemics and their inevitable deadly "vaccines."

This will give a new meaning to the word "backfire".

"His message to young men—stop playing video games and watching porn and start strengthening your characters, bodies, and minds—can only be threatening to people who derive a sense of power by claiming to represent all those mired in victimhood, weakness, and misery."

That, emphasis on the last part, hits the nail on the head, and with the small hammer dead-center, too.

All those BS professorships and entire BS academic fields whose MO is basically finding new victim groups and makeing sure they know they are, and remain, (supposed) victims. And the kraken of lesser cognitively endowed minions reaching into the entire culture provides the academical and cultural terror and outrage, while the BS professors rub their hands and giggle.

Someone sawing at that comfy chair's legs is the enemy, and there's nothing too dirty to "fix" that "problem".

Dr. Jordan Peterson, PhD, could simply cancel his license as a psychologist in Ontario.

Why would he wish to be associated with such a tyrannical and degenerate institution, anyway?

In Canada, boards of psychology are tyrannical. Professional boards do the dirtyoppressive work of the provincial governments. They have even criminalized the ''act'' of psychotherapy if it is done by a non-member of the boards of psychology, as if such deeply human endeavour could be operationalized (except for psychiatrists who have mostly turned into pill-pushers , and physicians who are untrained but paid by the governement to do psychotherapy). Moreoevr, provincial boards encourage complaints by the public and then harass professionals about anything and everything, while the public complains more and more about non-issues or ''hot'' topics. For example, people believing that they are transgender frequently complain to boards of psychology if a professional does not simply and only affirm their transgenderism, however, after the irreversible physical transformation via surgery and hormones, these people are still unhappy with themselves and then complain to your board because you did affirm their transgenderism. (Boards of psychology require psychologists to affirm tansgenderism.) So, professionals are damned if they do and damned if they don't.

In 2020, I experienced something similar to the complaint received by Dr. Peterson. My response = cancelling my license. Enough is enough! Early retirement is OK by me (although I feel very sorry for the young professionals). The board of psychology can write any calumny about me - I do not care. I know that I am highly ethical and follow the basic ethical principles written decades ago - they don't. Governements and professional boards are out there to make you submit to tyranny. I will not submit.

BE VERY CAREFUL, because ''Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities'' (Voltaire).

Since first hearing Dr. Peterson I was amazed at how his brain is wired. It is remarkable. He sees things so clearly and so differently than most people. I greatly respect him and esteem his work. I pray to God that he will be able to stand steadfast and courageously in the face of the evil in today’s world.

What a mockery, Jordan Peterson being taught to speak appropriately! The threat to the State is that he is too effective, educated, with genuine wisdom that the masses may follow after being steeped in mediocrity for so long.

What an outstanding piece, Mr. Leake. Just beautiful and a huge tribute to Dr. Jordan Peterson. I see a reflection of the Russian brainwashing of the '50s and the Pavlovian methods being taught to me in the US teacher's college of that day. There is a little book available here: https://alex-sk.jimdofree.com/mehr-links/charles-stickley-the-brainwashing-manual/ which explains some things we should know about methods to "retrain" a person whether they submit or not. Hypnosis is one. And with the addition of pain and drugs hypnosis can be taken to new levels. Those who are after Dr. Peterson are really perfecting their technique of earlier Brain-Washing methods adapted to present day conditions. I’m sure they are thrilled with their own creativity. Nothing is stopping them from kidnapping people and Brain-Washing them and calling it "retraining."
