The incel king wants the entire group of professional psychologists to resign? I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the problem isn't the other members of the College of Psychologists of Ontario. The unprofessional, deranged, grifting, right-wing bigot, Jordon Peterson, is clearly the asshole here.

Jordan Fucking Peterson is to accurate information and sociology as Jared Kushner is to international diplomacy, and anyone who actually believes or attaches any importance to his simpering rantings is not one who should be allowed anywhere near sharp objects, toasters, heavy machinery, hand weapons, explody things or the human reproductive cycle.

I liked JP better when he was in a coma.

Years ago, I was driving and my son started playing a Joe Rogan podcast in which he was interviewing Jordan Peterson who was bitching about how he would go to jail for not using students ‘ preferred pronouns. I hadn’t heard of either of them at the time, but my reaction was “JFC, who are these insufferable assholes?”

I just flag his videos on YouTube and have them removed from my line up. They seem to vanish after that.

What are you watching that his videos are suggested? Yikes!

They come up randomly. I keep my history off and no tracking on, so some weird ads and suggestions do come up. Lots of people actively searching for far-right material; I just flag all of it as hate related material and have YouTube remove it.

This is probably my American-centric ego taking over, but I really don't care whether or not Jordan Peterson's allowed to practice in Canada.

I think everyone should care on account of many, many people (mostly teenage or young adult males) thinking he is a genius with great life ideas when he is in fact what would happen if your crabby uncle who watches Fox all day got a doctorate and started writing for national newspapers. He’s kind of a more educated Joe Rogan or a slightly less rapey Andrew Tate in terms of audience demographics and opinions.

Am I supposed to know, or care, who this person is? I gather since he's been on Fox he's some right wing asshole, but I try not to waste my time tracking them as a class because that would just be tedious.

Is he somehow more than a garden-variety RWNJ? Am I behind on my reading? Is that why my Soros-bux never seem to show up?

Jordan Peterson is a CANADIAN asshole! There are fewer of them, so they make more of an impression.

Oh trust me there are plenty or they wouldn’t have invited Tucker Carlson up here…

I've met Canadian right wing assholes, and they're usually at least politer than our assholes.

Not in Jordan’s case. Also if you ever hear him talk you will be for shocked at the resemblance to Marvin the Martian.

Sadly, the era of repressed memories of murdering babies in a Satanic cult started here in Canada. Watch the documentary Satan Wants You for the disturbing story of Michelle Smith and psychiatrist Lawrence Pazder.

+1 Martensville Daycare, sadly. You are spot on.

Yeah. I once defended a daycare from such allegations in the 80s. Happily, the geography of the place literally made it impossible for the allegations to be true. It's kind of like that pizza place not having a basement.

“Bureaucrats will rue the day they tried to shut me out.”

i bet they won't though. benzoboy will zonk out and accomplish nothing of substance. just more loud blathering and nothing will be done that anyone will ever be ruing.

i'm guessing when this is all done he'll just make his own fake CPO that licenses him (and other huge weirdos). like what "ophthalmologist" Rand Paul did.

He wasn’t exactly practicing anyway, so this is accomplishing his main goal of getting eyeballs on his “wisdom” like “change your pants” and “fat chicks hurt my boner😕”.

my guess is that Psychologists , like lawyers have to do continuing education to remain licensed, his argument is having to take one particular class on ethics, rather that the typical assortment

Teachers too, have to do PD regularly. Also pay the CTC some buck$ every five years to retain their credentials. It's all Bullshit. Like most things.

Peterson was infuriating before whatever god awful induced coma "treatment" he underwent in Russia. Now he's just pathetic. Not, of course, that he NEEDS a fucking license with all the grift dollars, but if he truly want to remain licensed he could suck it up and take the damned class. Except I don't think he has the self control, he'd be ranting and weeping the minute he disagreed with anything.

OT: Speaking of Russia, did you see that Pelosi said that regarding Gaza some pro-cease fire folks are probably Putin supporters? Doing his bidding? She wants the FBI to investigate. Time for Pelosi to STFU. imho.

the "treatment" that was needed because he abuses benzos. which alone seems like it'd be something to lose a license over.

What's he going to call his online "university?" The Jordan Peterson Academy of Toxic Masculinity?

I'd use Trump University. The guy who owns the name's going to be too busy for the near future to have the time to sue him.

He should work up some kind of deal where he’s an offshoot of Tate’s courses since they’re basically the same level of grift.
