College of Psychologists of Ontario attempt to Strip Jordan Peterson of his License.

by Marc Patrone

Canadian psychologist and author Dr. Jordan Peterson could be stripped of his license to practice clinical psychology over his sharing of political posts on social media.  The College of Psychologists of Ontario which regulates the profession in his home province has disciplined Peterson over the sharing of political posts on Twitter. 

Peterson says he got in hot water with the College because he retweeted posts about PM Justin Trudeau, Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre, Trudeau advisor, Gerald Butts, New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern and others. 

The College has ordered Peterson to undergo mandatory social media communication retraining to “modify his objectionable behavior.”  It’s unclear what it is about the Tweets or the sharing of them that may violate the College’s Code of Ethics.  Either way, Peterson says he will not comply.

“I have absolutely refused to do so,” said Peterson.  The next step for the College is to demand he submit to an ‘in-person’ disciplinary hearing. If Peterson does not satisfy the College and commit to changing his behavior, it could strip him of his license to practice.  

“Canada has been given over to the commissars,” Peterson said, “something I never thought I’d see in my lifetime.”   He says he’ll make the issue public in the days ahead.

Some of the posts that may be drawing the ire of the College include one on December 24th in which Peterson tweeted out a link to Conrad Black’s column in the National Post: A moral imperative for Trudeau Liberals to resign.

Trudeau: The reflection we have to have [on using the EA] is how are so many people hurting so much that the anger against policy or government would bleed out into them not caring about impacting their fellow citizens in a terrible way? Barton: A lot of the anger was about you. https://t.co/JldvsV8bDD

Even the German socialists have figure this out. Are you watching, @JustinTrudeau -- the man who claimed there was "no business case" for supplying our German allies, in the face of the Russian war, with LNG?
