Epoch Times, 8/24/2023 | Anthony Furey: Why the Jordan Peterson Ruling Should Concern Us All
The article by Anthony Furey reports on the censorship of Jordan Peterson by the College of Psychologists of Ontario (CPO) and backed up by an Ontario Superior Court ruling.
“This is the college’s main argument—that they believe Peterson breached his professional obligations in his social media posts. How do these posts, though, have any bearing on his professional duties? Nothing was said to a clinical patient or about a clinical patient. It was all his personal commentary on these issues. The complaints didn’t come from any of his patients. They no doubt came from haters whose sole purpose is to trip him up.” writes Mr. Furey.
My opinion: Those ‘unidentified members of the public’ were homosexuals and/or sympathizers of homosexuality who complained.
Canadians have similar government-protected freedoms as the United States. As posted in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Guarantee of Rights and Freedoms, Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law:
Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms:
(a) freedom of conscience and religion;
(b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion, and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication;
(c) freedom of peaceful assembly; and
(d) freedom of association.
Judging from Dr. Jordan Peterson’s maltreatment, Canadian rights are arbitrary, unlike those of U.S. citizens.
The most probable reason Canadians’ rights are less secure than the rights of U.S. citizens is the means by which our respective rights are enshrined in law.
Canadian legal authority has a king, King Charles III. The sovereign power over these United States rests in the hands of We the People.
Canada and the United States seem almost identical with respect to cultures and styles of clothing. A Canadian man I met in 2008 described how he lived here in the States for 15 years before realizing the two countries are very different.
Canada was granted independence by the government of Great Britain. The United States fought for its independence from Great Britain. We acknowledge only one King, the King Jesus.
