In a shocking turn of events, a Canadian court has ruled against Jordan Peterson, the renowned psychologist and author who dares to speak his mind. The court has sided with the College of Psychologists of Ontario, upholding their order that Peterson undergo “social media re-education” or risk losing his license to practice. Can you believe it? They’re trying to silence a man simply for expressing his opinions!

The court claims that Peterson’s allegedly controversial online statements could pose a risk to the public and undermine trust in the psychology profession. But here’s the thing, these were just his off-duty opinions! Peterson argues that he was not speaking in his professional capacity, but the court rejected his argument. It’s a case of big brother trying to control what someone says even when they’re not on the clock.
In keeping with that transparency here is the decision
The courts are captured by the woke ideologues

The specific complaints listed in the case include Peterson’s comments about Canadian politicians, a plus-sized Sports Illustrated model, and transgender actor Elliot Page. So now, expressing your thoughts about public figures and their actions is considered a crime? This is nothing more than an attack on free speech. But hey, who needs the First Amendment when you have a regulatory body telling you what you can and cannot say?
Peterson’s fight for his rights didn’t end here. He filed for a judicial review, arguing that his political commentary should not be regulated by the college and that his freedom of expression should be respected. Yet, the court dismissed his claims and even had the audacity to say that the remedial coaching ordered by the college was a reasonable option. How can forcing someone to receive coaching on their language be considered reasonable? It’s nothing more than an attempt to control his thoughts and strip away his right to express himself.
This case has far-reaching implications beyond just Peterson. It’s a blatant violation of free speech rights and sets a dangerous precedent for professionals in other fields. Imagine if doctors, lawyers, teachers, and accountants were forced to censor themselves because they feared the wrath of regulatory bodies. This ruling could have a chilling effect on speech across various professions. It’s a sad day when fear and censorship are prioritized over the principles of free expression.
It’s clear that this ruling is another example of the left’s attempt to control the narrative and silence dissenting voices. Peterson has been a champion for individual liberties and personal responsibility, and that’s why they’re trying to silence him. But let me tell you, they picked the wrong guy to mess with. Peterson has vowed to fight back and expose this blatant attack on free speech. And I stand with him in this fight for our fundamental rights.
