The psychologist says an Ontario regulator wants him to undergo “re-education” or lose his license.
Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson said on Tuesday that may lose his license unless he submits to mandatory “social-media communication retraining” by the College of Psychologists of Ontario, his home province’s licensing authority.
“I face public disgrace, mandatory political re-education, disciplinary hearing and potential loss of my clinical licensing for agreeing with [Conservative MP] Pierre Poilievre and criticizing our standing [Prime Minister] Justin Trudeau,” Peterson said on Twitter.
According to Peterson, “about a dozen people from all over the world” submitted complaints to the CPO, alleging his views and comments “harmed people.” None of them were actual clients of his, but lied about it so their complaints would be accepted, he added.
The CPO demands that Peterson undergoes the “retraining” and submits “progress” reports, or face an “in-person tribunal” and suspension of his license to operate as a clinical psychologist.
“If I comply, the terms of my re-education and my punishment will be announced publicly,” he said.
“Canadians: your physicians, lawyers, psychologists and other professionals are now so intimidated by their commissar overlords that they fear to tell you the truth. This means that your care and legal counsel has been rendered dangerously unreliable,” Peterson tweeted.
Peterson was reinstated on Twitter in November, after Elon Musk bought the company and reversed many prior bans that he thought unjust. He had been locked out of his account in July 2022, for refusing to use a transgender actor’s new name and pronouns.
On December 27, Peterson tweeted that Trudeau “appears to me to be perpetually 14 yrs old,” referring to the concept of “psychological age” in his field of expertise.
The psychologist first gained national and international attention in 2016, when he was subjected to similar “re-education” pressure over his criticism of a bill that declared “gender identity and expression” to be protected categories. More recently, he has denounced the “totalitarian” lockdowns and vaccine mandates embraced by many countries – including Canada – in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Jordan Peterson is not the person harming Justin Trudeau. Justin Trudeau is having serious problems with his credibility and mismanagement of his nation, the good Canadians and himself. Trudeau has no right to pull Peterson’s psychologist licence or in any way interfere with Peterson just because he is not afraid to openly point out Trudeau’s shortcomings. It needs to be said Trudeau is about as close as you can get to WW2 Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels. I would love to see Peterson and Trudeau in a live one on one debate. Something that would never happen because Trudeau knows he would come up woefully short.
One by one they will silence those who voice the truth.
And when they are gone the sheep will have no one to protect them from the wolves
As no one will be left to kill the wolves
The slow creeping idealogies of the left and their marxist agendas infiltrate and corrupt every facet of society and business as they steal elections threaten coerce corrupt lie and kill to get themselves to the top of the wood pile. Right little Nazis they are – that is until we the people stop them.
Need to quit playing around! Get these people rounded up, sent to the Hague to stand trial for crimes against humanity!
