00:00:00.000 Welcome everyone to Ratioed. My name is Harrison Faulkner. Well, something in Canada is seriously
00:00:12.400 broken if that hasn't become painfully obvious to you yet. Just as it was in 2020, 2021, 2022,
00:00:19.200 and now in 2023, Canada continues the long and painful slide further and further away from
00:00:25.040 freedom. On Tuesday, Jordan Peterson announced on Twitter that the Ontario College of Psychologists,
00:00:31.360 a group of people who think quite highly of themselves and definitely think they're smarter
00:00:34.960 than you, are forcing Peterson to undergo, quote, mandatory social media communications retraining
00:00:47.440 for the crime of, wait for it, daring to retweet the leader of Canada's official opposition
00:00:53.200 and criticizing dear leader, the untouchable Justin Trudeau. Stick around for the first
00:00:58.080 Ratio of the Week award for 2023, drop a like in the video, help us out by subscribing to the
00:01:02.480 TrueNorth YouTube channel, and the comment question for the episode is this, what is the one issue you
00:01:07.360 want more Canadians to pay attention to in 2023? Let me know in the comments and let's get into it.
00:01:12.320 The Ministry of Truth is coming down hard on Canada's loudest dissenting voice for
00:01:17.040 a few too many instances of publicly voicing wrongspeak. Take a look at what Jordan Peterson
00:01:22.080 wrote on Tuesday and asked yourself, does this sound like Canada or more like Stalin's Soviet
00:01:26.880 Union and Mao's China? The Ontario College of Psychologists has demanded that I submit myself
00:01:32.080 to mandatory social media communication retraining with their experts for, among other crimes,
00:01:38.720 retweeting Pierre Polyev and criticizing Justin Trudeau and his political allies.
00:01:44.160 I have been accused of harming people, although none of the complainants involved in the current action
00:01:48.480 were clients of mine, past or present, or were even acquainted with any of my clients.
00:01:53.920 About a dozen people from all over the world submitted complaints about my public statements
00:01:58.400 on Twitter and on Joe Rogan's podcast over a four-year period, claiming that I had, quote,
00:02:03.680 harmed people, not them, with my views. We are now in a situation in Canada, under Justin Trudeau,
00:02:10.720 where practicing professionals can have their livelihoods and public reputations threatened
00:02:15.280 in a very serious manner for agreeing with the official opposition and criticizing major government
00:02:20.880 figures. Canadians, your physicians, lawyers, psychologists, and other professionals are now
00:02:26.720 so intimidated by their commissar overlords that they fear to tell you the truth. This means that
00:02:31.520 your care and legal counsel has been rendered dangerously unreliable. I mean, this is completely
00:02:37.040 and utterly insane. There's no other way to describe it. For retweeting Pierre Polyev, the leader of
00:02:41.680 Canada's opposition and criticizing Justin Trudeau, Jordan Peterson now faces the prospect of having
00:02:46.960 his license to practice psychology in Ontario stripped. But that's actually not really the
00:02:52.240 point here. Jordan Peterson doesn't practice psychology anymore. Having his license stripped
00:02:56.720 from him won't actually impact him financially and it won't impact his family, thankfully.
00:03:01.280 The point in all of this is for professional colleges stacked with government-depointed board members
00:03:06.240 to send a very loud and very clear message, not to Jordan Peterson, but to you and to me.
00:03:12.240 This is an all-out attack on freedom of speech in this country. And let me explain why.
00:03:16.640 These professional colleges, like the College of Psychology and the College of Physicians and Surgeons,
00:03:21.440 all of which have disciplinary boards stacked with government-appointed board members,
00:03:25.920 have been intimidating their members into complete silence and obedience for some time now. Perhaps most
00:03:30.960 notably, the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons took four of their own doctors to court
00:03:36.480 for giving out exemptions to the shot. And one of their doctors was censured by the College for daring
00:03:42.560 to question the narrative on Twitter. The College eventually dropped their censure, but not before
00:03:48.320 the doctor's reputation was permanently damaged by the College's actions. Given what we know about what
00:03:53.600 went on with the Ontario College of Physicians and now what we're seeing from the Ontario College of
00:03:58.800 Psychologists, I think it's pretty safe to say that this is taking place across all regulated professions
00:04:04.720 and across the country. For not adhering to the narrative, to the message, to the doctrine of
00:04:09.680 the political and media elite in this country, you not only face irreversible and irrecoverable
00:04:15.200 reputational damage, you also face public humiliation in front of your colleagues and the permanent
00:04:20.800 suspension of your license to practice the work that you likely spent tens of thousands of dollars
00:04:25.760 in tuition fees for and thousands of hours studying to master. These are seriously the times we're
00:04:30.960 living in now. This is not happening in Xi Jinping's China. This is not happening in some far away
00:04:35.840 ludicrous African dictatorship. This is happening in Canada. Now all of this is just the latest attempt
00:04:42.080 in a long and storied saga of the political and media elite in this country trying to discredit
00:04:47.440 Peterson in any way they can. The legacy media in Canada have written hundreds of hit pieces against
00:04:52.560 Peterson trying to label him as a racist, a misogynist, a transphobe, or a climate denier.
00:04:57.440 Now his own professional college is coming after him for being too outspoken on Twitter. This seems
00:05:01.600 like an awful lot for a guy whose main message to Canadians is do better, don't lie, clean up your
00:05:07.280 rooms, and stand up straight with your shoulders back. On Wednesday, Peterson took to Twitter again
00:05:11.840 to publish the Orwellian list of demands that the Ontario College of Psychologists sent him. Look at
00:05:17.200 some of these. It's insane. It's a classic Maoist-style struggle session straight out of
00:05:22.320 Communist China's Cultural Revolution. Take a look at this. It starts off with an acknowledgement,
00:05:27.680 an acknowledgement that I have lacked professionalism in public statements made on social media and during
00:05:33.760 a January 25, 2022 podcast appearance. I undertake to work with either Dr. Erica Abner or Gail Siskind to
00:05:42.560 review, reflect on, and ameliorate my professionalism in public statements. Oh my god. Unbelievable.
00:05:49.920 The coach will provide the registrar with reports at the midpoint and end with respect to this
00:05:54.960 undertaking and will provide me with a copy of the reports at the same time as they are provided to
00:06:00.080 the registrar. It continues. If the coach provides any unfavorable information about my practice,
00:06:05.760 the registrar may proceed to investigate new concerns arising in accordance with the Health
00:06:10.320 Professions Procedural Code. I am fully responsible for any and all costs associated
00:06:15.280 with satisfaction of the terms of this acknowledgement. So not only is Peterson
00:06:18.720 forced to undergo a Maoist-Communist-style struggle session, he has to pay for it too.
00:06:23.520 Now Peterson is of course challenging all of this. He's not complying with the quote
00:06:27.440 undertaking and he's also taking the Ontario College of Psychologists to court over all of this.
00:06:33.120 Peterson also penned an op-ed in the National Post which kind of covers all of this stuff. He wrote this,
00:06:38.640 for criticizing our Prime Minister and his cronies and peers, for retweeting Pierre
00:06:42.640 Pauli of the Leader of the Official Opposition in Canada, and for holding and for daring to express
00:06:47.440 reprehensible political views. I have now been convicted by the College of Psychologists
00:06:52.080 of quote harming people in some manner serious enough to justify my forced re-education.
00:06:57.760 In that same op-ed, Peterson lays out some considerations for Canadians to think about
00:07:01.920 when dealing with this. Because let's be honest, this is just yet another example of the all-out
00:07:06.240 war on freedom of speech in this country. Whether it's the attacks on online freedom of speech and
00:07:11.520 censorship, whether it's having your bank account frozen for protesting the government,
00:07:15.520 or whether it's about having your license to practice the job you love, stripped away because
00:07:20.880 you dared to speak out against Dear Leader on social media. Peterson writes this,
00:07:24.880 Why should Canadians who read this care? Perhaps those reading in this country might ask themselves
00:07:29.600 the following questions. And in all seriousness, painful as it might be to do so, requiring as it
00:07:35.120 does the almost unbelievable admission that something has gone dreadfully wrong in our lovely country.
00:07:40.560 What makes you think that something similar won't happen to you or to someone you love? What makes you
00:07:44.880 think you are going to continue to be able to communicate honestly with your physicians,
00:07:49.120 lawyers, or psychologists? What are your children going to be taught when all their teachers are so
00:07:54.560 afraid of the woke mob that they've swallowed all the ideological lies that are now required
00:07:59.680 of pedagogues, regardless if they believe what they are saying? Where are we going to be if we allow
00:08:04.720 criticism of public figures charged with the privilege of our governance to be grounds for the
00:08:09.040 demolition of not only the critics' reputation, but their very livelihood? How far are we willing to go
00:08:14.640 down this road without forthright resistance? Like I said before, this is not about Jordan Peterson
00:08:20.320 losing his license or keeping his license. Either way, he'll be just fine. What this is really about
00:08:24.960 is a psychologist in Thunder Bay who's just getting by, who hates the Prime Minister, but knows he can't
00:08:30.480 speak out about it publicly because he can't afford to lose his livelihood. This is about the teacher in
00:08:34.880 Ottawa who doesn't want to be peddling critical race theory. She doesn't want to be pushing gender
00:08:39.280 ideology, but she can't afford to speak out about it because she can't afford to lose her livelihood.
00:08:44.080 The message coming from these professional colleges is loud and clear. Speak out and you'll lose your
00:08:48.560 livelihood. Fall in line, accept the dominant narrative, and keep your mouth shut, you'll be
00:08:52.400 just fine. Is that really the Canada we want to live in? Here we go, ratio of the week time. The first
00:08:57.040 winner of 2023 is going to the Ontario College of Psychologists. They just totally deserved it this
00:09:02.640 week. I think they're getting the whole treatment, the whole package. But as you could have guessed,
00:09:06.560 a lot of Jordan Peterson's followers have come on to the Ontario College of Psychologists' very small
00:09:12.240 Twitter page and just flooded the replies to their latest tweet. It's hilarious really. At the time
00:09:18.400 of this recording, this tweet from December 22 has 18 likes and 1,597 replies. So 1,600 replies to 18 likes.
00:09:31.680 A serious ratio to kick us off for the year. Let's take a look at some of these hilarious comments.
00:09:35.840 Congratulations on your highest amount of social media engagement ever today. At CP Ontario,
00:09:41.120 it was a unique strategy, but it's working. Social media communication retraining with the
00:09:46.400 picture from a clockwork orange. Jordan Peterson has 3.6 million followers and you have 282. I think
00:09:53.520 you should take a course on social media. Just amazing. That one got over 2,000 likes. That's going
00:09:59.040 to do it for us this week on the show. Thank you so much for tuning in. I'll catch you tomorrow on
00:10:02.560 Fake News Friday. My name is Harrison Faulkner and this is Ratio.
