The shameless campaign to silence Jordan Peterson

Writer and psychologist Jordan Peterson has lost his battle with Canada’s woke moralists. After a two-year legal fight, the Ontario Court of Appeal has ruled that the Ontario College of Psychologists has the right to send him for mandatory ‘social-media training’ – or to a ‘re-education camp’ as Peterson puts it. If he refuses, Peterson will lose his licence to practise clinical psychology.

Jordan Peterson on his fight with college of psychologists: ‘This country is in rough shape’

The Ontario Court of Appeal dismissed a court challenge by Jordan Peterson that sought to prevent the College of Psychologists of Ontario from forcing him to do remedial social media training, at risk of losing his licence to practise psychology.

The Canadian psychologist, who’s become an internationally renowned self-help author and right-wing intellectual, was subject to numerous complaints about his online conduct, which led to a college investigation in 2022. According to court documents filed by Peterson’s legal team, it concluded that his “public statements may reasonably be regarded by members of the profession as disgraceful, dishonourable and/or unprofessional.”

Blackman canceled over his Blackface Puppet

Montreal puppeteer suing anti-racism group director after blackface controversy

A Black puppeteer based in Montreal has launched a defamation lawsuit against one of the heads of an anti-racism group, a little less than a year after he was accused of depicting a racist character in his children’s puppet show.

Last year, during Black History Month, Franck Sylvestre was scheduled to perform L’incroyable secret de barbe noire in several Montreal-area municipalities, including the West Island suburbs of Beaconsfield and Pointe-Claire.

Barbara Kay: Silenced teacher becomes a hero of the anti-woke resistance

The most inspirational hero stories are about people who never aspired to the role, and never dreamed that heroism was their destiny.

Carolyn Burjoski, a lifetime resident of Kitchener, Ont., was, until her world flipped upside down almost two years ago, content in the ordinary life she had chosen. She loves her husband, her three daughters and three grandchildren. And for 20 years, she had found fulfillment in teaching English as a second language, most gratifyingly to children with education gaps from war-torn countries.

Haters try to bring down Aussie-style sushi restaurant in NYC — because the owner is white

There’s no oppressor quite like a white immigrant woman selling sushi.

At least that’s how Eric Rivera, a North Carolina based chef and perpetual victim, views the world.

After seeing that a blonde Australian woman, Alex Marks, recently opened Sushi Counter — a West Village take-out spot serving “Aussie-style sushi” — he launched an online bullying campaign from his recliner, a whopping 500 miles away.

Looking back on the Vancouver riot, when social media took public shaming to new heights

On the night of June 15, 2011, Mallory Newton, wearing a Vancouver Canucks scarf, posed for an unfortunate photograph. Standing next to a guy whose face was completely obscured with a black ski mask, she threw up a peace sign and smiled. The ski-mask guy was wearing a t-shirt. “I’m just here for the riots,” it read.

The next day, at work, Ms. Newton could hear her phone blowing up with notifications. That photo, taken downtown during the Stanley Cup riot, had gone viral. Online stones were being cast against Ms. Newton; she had no ability to explain or provide context.

Ontario town proposes bylaw banning any communication that could ‘offend’ LGBT individuals

Firms pull ads from Rumble platform over Russell Brand videos

A number of large companies have pulled their advertisements from the video platform Rumble, where Russell Brand broadcasts his weekly show, in the week since allegations of rape and sexual assault against the comedian came to light.

The News Movement reported on Friday that Burger King, Asos, the Barbican and HelloFresh, the recipe box delivery service, had removed their ads. Brand has 1.4m followers on the platform. YouTube suspended Brand’s ability to earn money on its platform on Tuesday but Rumble has rejected calls to do the same. On Friday, Brand said the moves to block him from receiving advertising revenue for his videos on social media platforms have occurred “in the context of the online safety bill”.

I’ve been cancelled for standing up to racial identity politics

It was going to happen at some point. You can’t be director of a grassroots campaign like Don’t Divide Us (DDU), committed to a liberal, democratic approach to race issues, without expecting some blowback. But to be cancelled three days before I was due to speak at the Rethinking Education conference, I have to admit, came as an unwelcome surprise.

Big Tech must not be judge, jury and executioner

YouTube’s clampdown on Russell Brand is an affront to due process.

I’m almost surprised it took them this long. Barely three days after comic, actor and self-styled online guru Russell Brand was accused of rape and sexual assault – as part of a blockbuster Sunday TimesTimes and Channel 4 investigation – YouTube has ‘demonetised’ all of his videos on its platform, depriving him of any advertising income.

YouTube suspends Russell Brand from advert income

YouTube has suspended Russell Brand’s channels from making money from adverts for “violating” its “creator responsibility policy”.

The video platform said it was taking action “to protect” its users.

Meanwhile, the BBC said it had removed some programmes featuring the comedian and actor from its streaming services.

It comes after he was accused of rape and sexual assaults between 2006 and 2013. He denies the claims, saying his relationships were “always consensual”.

I am not a fan but at this point he is innocent until proven guilty and YouTube is simply using this situation to not pay him.

Conrad Black: Canadians must stand behind Jordan Peterson’s fight for free expression

The onslaught of the College of Psychologists of Ontario against Canada’s most distinguished public intellectual, Professor Jordan B. Peterson, is an embarrassment and a disgrace to the entire country, and a direct threat to the civil liberties of every Canadian. Dr. Peterson is followed by many millions of people on YouTube and X, formerly Twitter, Instagram, TikToK and elsewhere. His first non-academic book, Twelve Rules for Life, has sold more than 10 million English language copies, by far the best-selling non-fiction book in Canadian history. His YouTube videos have had literally billions of views. Yet he is at risk of losing his license to practice as a clinical psychologist in the province where he resides because of the complaints of six people about the “harm” done by his online opinions.
