      Yeah, he said if he got his license revoked he would just get a license in Florida and continue business as usual.

      It’s still tragic that these things happen. Those institutions was never meant to silence people, but these days it’s the norm.

    The complaints against him were not made by people who had direct, or even secondary contact with him or his clients.

    Peterson said that the complainants were comprised of “about a dozen people from all over the world” who “submitted complaints” about his public statements, including those made on social media and during appearances on such podcasts such as The Joe Rogan Experience.

    One of the things that I have noticed pretty consistently is that the woke tards always fail to consider how resorting to underhanded tactics could backfire and be used against them.

    For example, the way I’m reading this, doesn’t this that mean people can basically lodge complaints without being patients of the psychologists or even residents of Canada? And if so, then couldn’t people make similar complaints against the people who have been assigned as educators (and presumably are woke tards), e.g. “Dr. Erika Abner, LLM, LLB, Ph.D, or Gail Siskind, RN, MA” and more importantly against the board members pushing this idiocy, e.g. the Ontario College of Psychologists?

    Would be kind of funny to suddenly see hundreds or even thousands of complaints lodged against people who are trying to bring him to task over a mere dozen or so.

            Fair enough. Obviously, once good people are back in power, it would be easy enough to sort out loopholes and make it harder for this kind of thing to happen going forward.

            But how would you propose to correct the problem in the short-term without stooping to their level or caving to their demands? Having JP move to the US / out of Canada seems to me to just be running away from the problem rather than meeting it head on.

              Well, he’d be bringing business there as well, so it’s also a gesture toward Canada. Kind of like what happens in the free market but at the level of nation states. Peterson is rich enough not to be too severely inconvenienced by this.

              Short-term solutions should partially be stoicism at the individual level, accompanied by an international support group. If we form stronger bonds and aim to take our world back, it’ll be bearable to suffer losses in the here and now, because friendship with other people with integrity remind us that it was correct not to stoop.

              It can be seen as a test. Basically, the Christian model of taking up one’s cross and welcoming persecution is the right one. I’m just talking about Christian values, by the way, and not about a literal understanding of the gospel. God can be taken to represent higher ideals in general. We should believe in those and be willing to make sacrifices for them.
