Jordan Peterson ordered to Canadian Re-education Camp

The Ontario Divisional Court upheld a concerning decision against Dr. Jordan Peterson, the internationally renowned psychologist, author, and staunch defender of free speech. The decision, mandated by the College of Psychologists of Ontario, requires Dr. Peterson to participate in a coaching program, ostensibly addressing "professionalism in public statements." The directive came after several complaints about Dr. Peterson's online remarks.

Dr. Peterson, a distinguished clinical psychologist and professor emeritus at the University of Toronto, is globally recognized for his influential books, online lectures, and podcasts. Furthermore, he has gained a significant following on platforms like Twitter, where he unapologetically shares his views on various topics, from cultural issues to criticisms of political figures.

Dr. Peterson expressed his concerns about the mandate, indicating that non-compliance could jeopardize his license to practice in Ontario. He challenged the directive, asserting that it threatened his fundamental right to free speech, and subsequently sought a judicial review with the Ontario Divisional Court.

To keep his supporters and the public informed, Dr. Peterson shared relevant details of the case on Twitter, including documents provided by the college. Some of these documents revealed the nature of complaints raised against him, such as his skepticism of certain COVID-19 restrictions and a spirited disagreement with Gerald Butts, a close associate of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. In one notable exchange about overpopulation, Dr. Peterson countered a user, suggesting the individual was "free to leave" the planet if they felt strongly about the issue.

Many supporters of Dr. Peterson, championing the principles of free expression, rallied behind him. They voiced their criticisms against the college's decision, with some even organizing a protest outside the college's offices earlier in the year.

This situation has evolved beyond a simple conduct inquiry, raising pivotal questions about the role of social media and the extent to which professional organizations can influence or control the online expressions of their members.
