Jordan Peterson Loses Free Speech Legal Battle in Canadian Court

This all began back in June. It’s ridiculous. Canada is so lame.

The College Fix reports:

Jordan Peterson loses legal fight, must take remedial training: courtAn Ontario court decided against Jordan Peterson in a judicial review, requiring him to complete a “remedial” public statement training to avoid disciplinary action.The court affirmed a College of Psychologists of Ontario committee’s finding that some of Peterson’s “public language,” referring to some tweets and podcast statements, “may be reasonably regarded by members of the profession as disgraceful, dishonourable and/or unprofessional’” and posed “moderate risks of harm to the public.”Those “risks” include “undermining public trust in the profession of psychology” and “may also raise questions about Dr. Peterson’s ability to appropriately carry out his responsibilities as a registered psychologist,’” according to Ontario Superior Court Judge Paul Schabas.The court ruled that the College of Psychologists “can pursue their prosecution,” Peterson tweeted Wednesday.“If you think that you have a right to free speech in Canada, you’re delusional,” he wrote.The decision “requires Dr. Peterson to participate in a ‘coaching program’ directed by the College to ‘reflect on, and ameliorate [his] professionalism in public statements,’” according to the court.If he fails to complete the program “at his own expense and to the coach’s satisfaction,” Peterson may undergo disciplinary procedures.At issue were Peterson’s statements referring to former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Secretary Gerald Butts as a “prik,” stating “Ellen Page just had her breasts removed by a criminal physician” and calling a plus-sized model “Not Beautiful,” among others, according to the decision.
