Welp, it looks like Canada has officially jumped the shark.
Yeah, I know, they probably did that long ago, but this move seems to be a last straw of sorts.
Jordan Peterson has lost his legal battle in Canada, meaning that he is mandated to attend a re-education camp for his use of social media if he wishes to maintain his professional license as a psychologist in Canada. The Ontario College of Psychologists' mandate was widely seen as a way to force Peterson out of their profession entirely to silence dissenting voices on issues such as transgender ideology.
Jordan Peterson has failed in his attempt to have the Ontario justice system prevent the College of Psychologists of Ontario from ordering him to undergo remedial social media training.
On Tuesday, a panel of three judges with the Ontario Court of Appeal dismissed Peterson's motion for leave to appeal an earlier decision by the Ontario Divisional Court. No reasons were given, which is normal for the appeal court.
No reason was given, but we all know the reason.
Jordan Peterson is guilty of thoughtcrime and wrongspeak because he believes men can't become women. And in Canada, well, they don't like that at all.
So the College of Psychologists can mandate that one of their members go to a reeducation camp so that they can, hopefully, brainwash him into being a nice and friendly Canadian.
There's no free speech in Canada.
Dr. Peterson released a statement on Twitter regarding the decision.
A higher court in Canada has ruled that the Ontario College of Psychologists indeed has the right to sentence me to re-education camp. There are no other legal avenues open to me now.
It's capitulate to the petty bureaucrats and the addle-pated woke mob or lose my professional licence.
Congratulations,[College of Psychologists, Ontario]!
You won this round.
Mark my words, however: the war has barely started. There is nothing you can take from me that I'm unwilling to lose.
So watch out.
Seriously.
You've been warned.
You messed with the wrong Lobster King, buckos!
I don't know if Peterson is planning on ignoring the court order and the risks that come with that, or if he's going to endure the training and subvert it from the inside.
But whatever it is, it's not going to be pretty.
