He has authored bestselling books; he is a speaker in demand the world over; and he has helped thousands of individuals \u2013 mostly young males \u2013 turn their lives around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So why is Dr. Peterson suddenly deemed to be&nbsp;<em>persona non grata&nbsp;<\/em>by the College of Psychologists of Ontario?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, incredibly, Dr. Peterson is essentially being persecuted for\u2026 wrong-thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier this month, Dr. Peterson took to Twitter to call out the Orwellian witch-hunt against him for making statements that the college considers to be politically incorrect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wrote Peterson: \u201cBREAKING: the Ontario College of Psychologists has demanded that I submit myself to mandatory social-media communication retraining with their experts for, among other crimes, retweeting Pierre Poilievre and criticizing Justin Trudeau and his political allies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am to take a course of such training (with reports documenting my &#8216;progress&#8217; or face an in-person tribunal and suspension of my right to operate as a licensed clinical psychologist.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAbout a dozen people from all over the world submitted complaints about my public statements on Twitter and Rogan over a four-year period (out of the 15 million who follow me on social media) claiming that I had \u2018harmed\u2019 people (not them) with my views.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so it is that Dr. Peterson\u2019s colleagues think he must be\u2026 \u201creprogrammed\u201d? What would George Orwell say if he were alive today? (Perhaps Orwell would lament that his novel&nbsp;<em>Nineteen Eighty-Four&nbsp;<\/em>was meant to be a work of fiction, not an instruction manual.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, the crux of the matter when it comes to this story is that Dr. Peterson is not being investigated by the College of Psychologists of Ontario for any alleged improper behaviour with regard to a current or former patient. Rather, the college deems his&nbsp;<em>politics<\/em>&nbsp;to be offside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is equal parts outrageous and egregious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And on Wednesday, a few hundred Peterson supporters held a peaceful rally outside the Toronto headquarters of the College of Psychologists of Ontario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some notable speakers included People\u2019s Party of Canada leader Maxime Bernier and Church of God pastor Henry Hildebrandt, both of whom have had to deal with censorship issues during the past few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The statements by attendees were consistent: they support freedom of speech; they despise censorship and compelled speech; and they believe the tall forehead types who comprise the CPO are, well, out of their collective minds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if the brainiacs at the college think Dr. Peterson is going to bend the knee to the woke mob, they are sadly deluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, Dr. Peterson first came to prominence several years ago when he was teaching at the University of Toronto. That\u2019s when he first took a stand against compelled speech \u2013 especially when it came to referring to the various spirit unicorns on campus with phony baloney pronouns such as \u201czee\/zir\u201d, \u201cxe\/xem\u201d, etc., etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He wasn\u2019t silenced then; he won\u2019t be silenced now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And by the way, who exactly looks upon Jordon Peterson as being \u201ccontroversial\u201d in the first place merely for espousing\u2026 common sense?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is it the woke mob on campus? The thugs who comprise Antifa? Those who suffer from mental illness and\/or the radical transgender community?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the College of Psychologists of Ontario: please, physician, heal thyself\u2026<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rebelnews.com\/tags\/ontario\">Ontario<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rebelnews.com\/tags\/canada\">Canada<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rebelnews.com\/tags\/jordan_peterson\">Jordan Peterson<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rebelnews.com\/tags\/news_analysis\">News Analysis<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Psychological warfare!
