Abstract
- The article discusses the case of Canadian clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson, who is facing punishment from an Ontario regulator for his political beliefs. Peterson has been the subject of complaints regarding his public statements on various topics, including transgender issues, racism, overpopulation, and the response to COVID-19. The College of Psychologists of Ontario assigned a committee to investigate the complaints, and in August 2022, they offered Peterson the option to attend a re-education camp. Peterson declined and took the board to court, but his legal options have now been exhausted. The article argues that Peterson's treatment is indicative of a broader trend of creeping authoritarianism in Canada's administrative state. [Extracted from the article]
