In this episode, Dr. Jordan Peterson talks about the College of Psychologists of Canada's decision to require him to re-educate himself in order to be able to freely express his political opinions, and why he doesn't think it's a good idea.

00:00:00.960Hey everyone, real quick before you skip, I want to talk to you about something serious and important.
00:00:06.480Dr. Jordan Peterson has created a new series that could be a lifeline for those battling depression and anxiety.
00:00:12.740We know how isolating and overwhelming these conditions can be, and we wanted to take a moment to reach out to those listening who may be struggling.
00:00:20.100With decades of experience helping patients, Dr. Peterson offers a unique understanding of why you might be feeling this way in his new series.
00:00:27.420He provides a roadmap towards healing, showing that while the journey isn't easy, it's absolutely possible to find your way forward.
00:00:35.360If you're suffering, please know you are not alone. There's hope, and there's a path to feeling better.
00:00:41.780Go to Daily Wire Plus now and start watching Dr. Jordan B. Peterson on depression and anxiety.
00:00:47.460Let this be the first step towards the brighter future you deserve.
00:01:17.660Good, actually, all things considered. I'm in Milwaukee, looking forward to the presidential debate tonight. That's fun.
00:01:23.600You know, I'm perplexed, I would say, about the situation in Canada. I've been thinking about it this morning.
00:01:32.560As you know, the court that we appealed the College of Psychologists' decision to decided that the college has, it's within the college's purview to stop me from having any political opinions, as far as I can tell.
00:01:51.540The decision, which I posted on Twitter, and will post in the description of this video, starts out by making a case for the fundamental reality of freedom of speech for Canadians in Canada.
00:02:06.640And then says, but, and that's always a bad start when you're talking about freedom of speech, but apparently the college has the right to decide that I can be re-educated forcibly with the risk of my license,
00:02:24.220essentially because I made political statements that the members of the college don't agree with.
00:02:29.900And those opinions involve two criticisms of Justin Trudeau, one criticism of his chief of staff, one criticism of an Ottawa city councillor,
00:02:45.300an objection to the trans butchery that's occurring around the world that's absolutely 100% unforgivable in my estimation,
00:02:54.220and also by UN definition, a crime against humanity, which is exactly what the forced sterilization of minors boils down to.
00:03:03.100And then my objection on Joe Rogan to the climate apocalyptic fear-mongering that idiot tyrants are foisting on the general population.
00:03:14.240Now, apparently that makes me unprofessional and a disgrace to the profession, such that I am now going to be required,
00:03:23.220the college can go ahead with this, to put me into a re-education program with their so-called social media experts,
00:03:31.960and that's also, by the way, a profession that does not exist, until I learn my lesson, whatever that is,
00:03:38.600regardless of how much time that takes, by their judgment, or they can take my license away.
00:03:45.140And so the court says, well, of course you have freedom of speech, Dr. Peterson,
00:03:49.860but because you're a professional, you're bound by your professional organization.
00:03:54.960And apparently they're not bound, even though they're a government organization, fundamentally,
00:03:59.080apparently they're not bound by that fundamental constitutional axiom.
00:04:03.580And so that shows you, all you Canadians who are listening, and everyone outside of the country who might be the least bit interested in Canada,
00:04:11.320that shows you exactly what our bloody constitution is worth.
00:04:15.180And if Canadians are so daft that they don't think that that's a problem, well, they're going to figure it out over the next 15 years,
00:04:22.300because there's absolutely no excuse for this.
00:04:42.320And I think, well, I expressed political sentiment, and I'm actually informed.
00:04:48.380And so for the life of me, I can't see how I'm wrong.
00:04:53.060I think I have a responsibility to say what I think, and I think many people agree with that.
00:04:57.580And I think the fundamental consequence of that around the world has been massively beneficial to people.
00:05:04.340So I think, I think, number one, what the hell?
00:05:09.300And number two, bring it on and see what happens, because I will make absolutely every bit of this public in a way that the college and the courts can hardly even imagine.
00:07:22.840I don't have a practice anymore because that became impossible, even though I love doing it.
00:07:27.000And I'm also not very happy about that.
00:07:29.480So I'm like the person who can do this.
00:07:31.660Canadians have no idea to what degree professionals in Canada are now required not to say what they think or to lie outright.
00:07:44.420So, for example, therapists are required by law to lie about, let's say, the gender identity of minors.
00:07:52.780And so, for me, especially on the therapy side, if you're required by law and by your professional organization to lie cowardly, you're done as a therapist.
00:08:05.640Because the only thing you've got as a therapist is honesty.
00:08:34.620But there's parts, like this is how it begins.
00:08:36.720When individuals join a regulated profession, they do not lose their charter right to freedom of expression.
00:08:43.460At the same time, however, they take on obligations and must abide by the rules of their regulatory body that may limit their freedom of expression.
00:08:52.060That's just one sentence after another.
00:09:14.560And if someone anywhere in the world complains about the fact that I've criticized Justin Trudeau, let's say, that all of a sudden that's a rule, even though it wasn't a rule.
00:09:24.640And of course I get to criticize Justin Trudeau, not only because he richly deserves it in every way you can possibly imagine, but because that's actually what freedom of speech means.
00:09:33.840So I have no idea what the court means by, you know, abiding by the rules.
00:09:38.640So the rules are whatever the bloody College of Psychologists determines constitutes a rule after the fact, given their complete freedom to make manifest any rules they want.
00:10:13.760People can submit a complaint to the College of Psychologists from anywhere in the world.
00:10:17.760And so someone in the States submitted a complaint about the last conversation I had with Joe Rogan, where I expressed my doubts about the validity of economic predictions based on climate science.
00:10:34.800The complainant submitted the entire transcript, right?
00:10:40.000A three-hour conversation as evidence of my unprofessional behavior.
00:10:44.180And the college, which did not have to pursue that complaint, went forward with it.
00:10:51.460So like, okay, I talked to Joe for three hours.
00:10:56.220Apparently, everything I said in that three hours was unprofessional and a disgrace to the profession.
00:11:07.140So like, well, what am I supposed to do about that?
00:11:11.440The answer is, well, we're going to appeal the decision.
00:11:13.320Again, I will take this to the Supreme Court.
00:11:16.080I don't think that any judges will have either the wisdom or the courage to rule about this properly, except at the Supreme Court level.
00:11:26.200And I'm not particularly optimistic about that either.
00:11:32.600I don't see how you can win this without overturning colleges in general.
00:11:39.140And I don't, like, that's not a good look for the colleges to lose this.
00:11:42.700So won't the Supreme Court, I know they're not supposed to be pressured, but won't they, what's the benefit for them for ruling in your favor?
00:11:50.060Well, the benefit would be that they support, well, they would support the most fundamental principle of a free society, right?
00:11:59.660It's like, why do you have the right to freedom of speech?
00:12:02.600Well, the answer is, is because there's no difference between free speech and thinking, no difference between free speech and dialogue, and no difference between free speech and problem solving and negotiation.
00:12:15.940And so, and therefore peace, if you eliminate that, people can no longer think, they can no longer adapt, they can no longer negotiate, they no longer even know how to orient themselves in the world.
00:12:29.580And so, in principle, the advantage for the Supreme Court is that they rule in favor of the most fundamental principle upon which civil democracy itself is predicated.
00:12:43.720Now, I don't think we have the right to free speech in Canada.
00:12:46.600I think this decision today demonstrates that, obviously.
00:12:51.360I saw the same thing with the law society in Canada, partly was why I'm not surprised at this ruling.
00:12:56.120I've been through this before, and I see that Canada's walked down that idiot path for at least 30 years.
00:13:03.040So, our country is in, well, this is where I start to get doubtful.
00:13:07.620It's like, either I'm wrong, or the country is in trouble.
00:13:13.240Now, to tell you the truth, I would rather be wrong, but I've thought it through.
00:13:19.360It's like, okay, what did I do exactly?
00:13:26.120And I expressed my political opinions, which I have a right to do, which I believe were correct.
00:13:33.920I think that, and Canadians agree with this now.
00:13:37.300The last poll indicated that Canadians believe that Justin Trudeau is the worst prime minister we've ever had.
00:13:43.000Well, that was sort of my point a year ago, you know?
00:13:46.680And so, if I can't say that, and yet a majority of Canadians believe it to be true, and believe me, a lot more of them are going to believe that, a lot more are going to believe that in the relatively near future, in what sense do I have anything even approximating freedom of speech?
00:14:03.960And if I can't have that opinion, and therefore, in principle, no one can, then what do we do when we're stuck with a prime minister, let's say, who everyone has decided is the worst prime minister the country's ever had?
00:14:22.140Well, this is another reason, you know, why I'm in a position that I can fight this, because the worst thing that could happen is the college can take away my license.
00:14:31.860Now, I already know that if my license gets taken away, there are other jurisdictions that will grant me a license the next day.
00:14:42.480And, you know, there's a real comedic element to that, because I could lose my license in Ontario and instantly be licensed in at least three other jurisdictions.
00:14:51.660And so, that's not going to look very good with regard to the Ontario College of Psychologists.
00:15:02.780I mean, the other problem that the college is going to face is that, and I don't know exactly what they're going to make of this, but all the people who are involved in this prosecution are going to find very soon that this will eat their life.
00:15:49.840But, and I also know, or think I know, you know, you might ask, well, why is the college doing this?
00:15:57.200And my suspicions are, because we've been through this before, you know, when Cambridge University cancelled the seminar I was going to conduct there on Exodus,
00:16:07.800I found out eventually that it was basically one person who was behind all of that.
00:16:12.740There were two more that were associated with that person.
00:16:15.320And I know perfectly well that there's a few progressive psychopaths that are associated with the college who are pushing the college to go after me for whatever the hell their reasons are.
00:16:31.460You know, maybe they disagree with my political opinions, particularly on the trans front.
00:16:35.420And that was the tweet, I think, that really probably initiated all this, right?
00:16:40.460I tweeted about Elliot Page and said that a criminal physician cut off her breasts and that pride was once a sin.
00:16:52.880And I actually think that tweet's doing pretty damn well now because it's become pretty obvious that there's no shortage of trans surgery butchery being conducted on minors.
00:17:03.400And I feel that there's, I believe that there's, I believe that is a crime against humanity.
00:17:08.220And so I'm perfectly happy that I tweeted that particular tweet.
00:17:12.400And I also think in five years nobody will admit that they were ever in favor of any of this, right?
00:17:18.880This is far worse than the lobotomies of the 1930s.
00:17:47.300But the people who facilitated that transformation, your therapists and your surgeons, as far as I'm concerned, they should be jailed for the rest of their lives.
00:17:57.140Going online without ExpressVPN is like not paying attention to the safety demonstration on a flight.
00:18:03.660Most of the time, you'll probably be fine.
00:18:05.640But what if one day that weird yellow mask drops down from overhead and you have no idea what to do?
00:18:11.340In our hyper-connected world, your digital privacy isn't just a luxury.
00:18:16.300Every time you connect to an unsecured network in a cafe, hotel, or airport, you're essentially broadcasting your personal information to anyone with a technical know-how to intercept it.
00:18:25.660And let's be clear, it doesn't take a genius hacker to do this.
00:18:28.980With some off-the-shelf hardware, even a tech-savvy teenager could potentially access your passwords, bank logins, and credit card details.
00:18:36.360Now, you might think, what's the big deal?
00:19:41.640I should also point out, just so everyone is aware of this, surgeons are much more likely to be psychopathic than people in the typical profession.
00:19:52.340That's a well-documented phenomenon in the psychological literature.
00:19:56.580Now, it's not only surgeons, obviously.
00:19:58.480You see that in other professions as well.
00:20:00.680But if you happen to be sadistic and psychopathic, a profession that allows you to cut people up,
00:20:07.740that's that, and you think, well, there are no people like that.
00:20:10.840It's like, well, I think they just arrested some nurse in the UK for killing a bunch of babies in her psychopathic and sadistic manner.
00:20:19.000And so if you don't think there are people like that, you're naive beyond belief, and you better bloody well pray that you never meet anyone like that,
00:20:25.600because they're looking for someone just as naive as you to have their way with.
00:20:30.100There are countries now that have outlawed surgery for minors, transgender surgeries for minors.
00:20:59.080There's no doubt Denmark, France, Sweden, the UK, Holland, the Netherlands, which is particularly relevant because that's where this gender-affirming surgical idiocy first made itself manifest.
00:21:12.700The Europeans have woken up to the fact that, well, you know what?
00:21:15.800Turns out that there's no evidence that sterilizing young people and cutting off their breasts makes them happier.
00:21:26.660I think this is going to be, yeah, this is an argument that has to be had right now, and it's going to, there's going to be such pushback from people who have gone through these surgeries starting now.
00:21:44.040Well, there are a couple of other, I don't know if they're funny, but there are a couple of other parts just to clarify what's going on.
00:21:51.180This decision that they've come to order Dr. Peterson, as a registered member of the college, to complete a specified continuing education or remedial program, a scurp regarding professionalism in public statements.
00:22:05.280The order's not disciplinary, clarifies that here, and does not prevent, that's good, right?
00:22:18.000I have to pay for things I don't want to do.
00:22:20.520It's also not specified, so that, what's specified is that I have to be retrained.
00:22:25.540And what's specified in this specification is that I have to be retrained, regardless of how long that takes, until the people who are responsible for the retraining have decided that I've learned my lesson, right?
00:22:41.500So don't tell me that's specified, and don't bloody well lie, you pikers, and tell me that that's not disciplinary.
00:22:49.800It's like, if you're going to come after me, why don't you bloody well admit that you're disciplining me, which is absolutely 100% obvious, especially because you're also claiming that I deserve to be disciplined.
00:23:01.240You know, it's like claiming you're in favor of freedom of speech, and then telling me that, well, except that, you know, you're a professional.
00:23:08.080And, of course, we wouldn't want professionals to be able to, you know, tell the truth or say what they think, because everyone wants their professionals to lie to them.
00:23:16.920Because that's how you get the best advice and guidance, obviously.
00:23:25.400I think what shocks me about this is you are basically being brought to task over the Joe Rogan podcast, one of the Joe Rogan podcasts, which is insane, and over political tweets.
00:23:39.920Like, it says right here, a tweet on February 19th, in which Dr. Peterson commented that an Ottawa city councillor was an appalling, self-righteous, moralizing thing.
