What makes you think that something similar won t happen to you, or to someone you love? Why should Canadians who read this care? Perhaps those reading in this country might ask themselves the same questions. And in all seriousness, painful as it might be to do so, require as it does the almost unbelievable admission that something has gone dreadfully wrong in our lovely country.

00:00:00.000 Peterson writes this. Why should Canadians who read this care? Perhaps those reading in this
00:00:04.440 country might ask themselves the following questions. And in all seriousness, painful as
00:00:09.340 it might be to do so, requiring as it does the almost unbelievable admission that something has
00:00:14.600 gone dreadfully wrong in our lovely country. What makes you think that something similar won't
00:00:18.940 happen to you or to someone you love? What makes you think you are going to continue to be able to
00:00:23.280 communicate honestly with your physicians, lawyers, or psychologists? What are your children going to
00:00:28.560 be taught when all their teachers are so afraid of the woke mob that they've swallowed all the
00:00:34.000 ideological lies that are now required of pedagogues, regardless if they believe what
00:00:38.920 they are saying? Where are we going to be if we allow criticism of public figures charged with
00:00:43.100 the privilege of our governance to be grounds for the demolition of not only the critics' reputation,
00:00:47.800 but their very livelihood? How far are we willing to go down this road without forthright resistance?
00:00:54.020 Like I said before, this is not about Jordan Peterson losing his license or keeping his
00:00:58.180 license. Either way, he'll be just fine. What this is really about is a psychologist in Thunder Bay
00:01:03.140 who's just getting by, who hates the prime minister, but knows he can't speak out about it publicly
00:01:07.980 because he can't afford to lose his livelihood. This is about the teacher in Ottawa who doesn't
00:01:12.280 want to be peddling critical race theory. She doesn't want to be pushing gender ideology, 0.99
00:01:16.140 but she can't afford to speak out about it because she can't afford to lose her livelihood. 0.72
00:01:20.600 The message coming from these professional colleges is loud and clear. Speak out and you'll lose your
00:01:25.040 livelihood. Fall in line, accept the dominant narrative, and keep your mouth shut. You'll
00:01:28.680 be just fine. Is that really the Canada we want to live in?
