On the morning of January 3rd, Jordan Peterson tweeted that “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.”

Allegedly, the Ontario College of Psychologists wants him “to take a course of such training (with reports documenting my “progress” or face an in-person tribunal and suspension of my right to operate as a licensed clinical psychologist.”

Apparently, “a dozen people from all over the world submitted complaints about my public statements on Twitter” and what he stated onJoe Rogan’s podcast for the last four years.
In its wisdom @CPOntario decided to pursue these complaints even though they could have dismissed them@as vexatious

And even though many of them falsely claimed that they were or had been clients of mine and were allowed by @CPOntario to have their complaints investigated despite this falsehood

He says that the college knows that these individuals lied about being clients of Peterson’s, but pursued the investigationregardless.
If I comply the terms of my re-education and my punishment will be announced publicly. I have already had the second most serious category of punishment levied against me and have been deemed at high risk to "re-offend."

Ask Queen's U law@professor @PardyBruce if he concurs on the legal front.
— Dr Jordan B Peterson (@jordanbpeterson) January 3, 2023
I am willing (if @CPOntario concurs, which they won't) to make absolutely every word of all this fully public so that everyone can decide for themselves what is actually happening

Peterson believes that the college is taking issues with him “Criticizing climate change models. Objecting to surgery on gender dysphoric minors. Warning Canadians it was wrong for social service workers and police to threaten to apprehend the children of the Trucker Convoy protestors.”
Peterson says he will “provide all the details legally allowed to me.”

It's way more widespread than you might think. The SJW types have weaponized the domain of professional misconduct complaints and the Colleges themselves have become bastions of woke sensibiliity. Particularly in oh-so-nice Canada. https://t.co/PyH8dLz5n2

It's worse than you think in Canada @elonmusk. Regulated professionals are now terrified into silence by their respective colleges. This means they are no longer able to say what they believe to be true. And who needs that from their lawyers, physicians — or psychologists? https://t.co/sWvIPVHU0e

Professional regulators have become ideological. They increasingly seek to supervise political views and expression. In effect, to be progressive is to be neutral and reasonable, while to not be progressive will amount to professional misconduct.
