“But of course, in saying this, my liberal critics in the media will, of course, say, ‘Well, Poilievre agrees with freedom of speech from someone like Dr. Peterson, therefore, he must endorse everything Dr. Peterson has ever said.’ Well, of course not. I don’t endorse 100% of everything anyone has ever said.”Article content
Is Jordan Peterson practicing medicine on YouTube or not?
Every1 should be defending free speech everywhere
We uphold Peterson's right to free speech. Next step is for Trudeau and his institutions to introduce a Siberia to banish 'disidents'
civil war fight back against the war on us
As it should be!!
You can’t even make a tik tok video saying anything against Trudeau-Castro or it’s removed !!! Wtf we aren’t in Cuba are we
I stand with Jordan
As he should. Do we not want free speech in Canada? Fukthewef
LHumeSastre Within the limits of hate laws in Canada, Peterson can have as much free speech as he wants after he’s no longer a registered psychologist.
Losers. Both of them.
It is never within the bounds of professional conduct for a mental health professional such as Peterson to joke that someone online should commit suicide, irrespective of who that person is or what they are saying. Case closed. A clear breach of professional conduct.
As do I.
Everyone should be defending free speech.
If I ever again hear Pierre Poilievre complain about FREE SPEECH I am going to vomit. Poilievre and his ilk are for free speech when it attacks refugees, liberals, scientists, Muslims, gays and minorities but are against free speech when it is mean to his gang of white people.
Yet it is not the Federal government that is calling upon JP to account for himself—that would be an independent professional body which JP opted to join, and in the process agree to abide by their rules.His membership does not guarantee him the right to free speech.
lol of course he does. Free speech is one thing, when you know you're wrong and doing it to make money off tricking and deceiving people is another thing.
I'm pretty sure PierrePoilievre is defending all of Canada's right to free speech. Which is truly sad that he has to do this as I don't see the other leaders speaking up.
Any normal Canadian would support free speech. Under the Trudumb regime freedom of speech is being threatened.....
Well I support the conservative party but it's my opinion that this is Jordan guy is really extreme.
No one ever accused Skippy of being smart, so why start now? No one is taking away Jordy's free speech.
This guy is the photo that comes up when you look up Plato's sophist
Good. I mean seriously, you take someone’s education away because you don’t like their opinion?… That’s called a dictator ship.
I hate how politicians keep using the term “woke movement” or “woke culture”. Like seriously, is that even in the dictionary. Keep it professional. It just seems sleazy to me.
No matter how much you try, the vaxxed will still run back to the libs and roll up their sleeves again without question.
If anyone still believes in this covid, corona BULLISH nonsense. That's the first problem here. Until you sheeps stop believing in any of this, we won't get anywhere. Yall got vaxxed to give up your freedom and life.
Peterson is being reprimanded by his association not on the basis of his free speech but because of his speech offensive to the association, using politics to defend his profession. he criticised/betrayed the Charter on gender rights and now wants to use the Charter in defence.
Mr. Poilievre, you were doing so well. Is this the hill you want to die on?
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, like Jordan Peterson, doesn’t understand free speech. *fixed it for you.
Absolutely free Speech is a right
Trump clone!
Jordan Peterson is now facing the consequences of his constant free speech. People who refuse to face the consequences for their own actions are whiners.
The right to free expression doesn't shield you from consequences due to what you say
The soon to be de-licensed Peterson has fans on Poilievre/CPC, Sun and this guy, currently in Romanian jail for rape & human trafficking: Gross,
Just because you can say something doesn’t exclude you from consequences
He's free to speak, but he's not free from consequences.
OK, let’s say you learn your family physician has shared your name and medical information with somebody else without your knowledge or consent, contravening the Health Information Privacy Act. Do you say: “That’s OK! Free speech!”
Wow... we've come to a point where that'll actually win him a lot of votes. Cancel culture is becoming totalitarian in Canada.
I guess most of people respond below are Conservative supporters. Don’t forget the convoy protest was a trap.
Just remember, often when people are forced to report for political re-education, they are shot dead shortly thereafter.
He signed a code of conduct, for fuck sakes. Live by it, bitch!
Fuck off with this nonsense, I’m so sick of it. JP is grifting for the RW, and he is free to continue to do so. BUT….In choosing that career path, he compromises his ability to provide impartial psychological treatment, and therefore will relinquish his license to practice.
I think it is risky for Poilievre to weigh in on a matter that is before the court and risky for Peterson to seek adjudication of his case on social media before it has been before the court. I think the court will hesitate to overturn CPO standards but may overturn the decision.
There are some serious bootlickers and liberal cult members on here 👇. Fascist secret police would be so very proud.
Those against free speech are fascist s. The essence of science is exploring opposing views. In their utopia Marxist world, The earth would still be flat. Wrong think would be to suggest the earth might actually be a sphere
So it’s not the hate speech, misogyny or quackery that he is defending? With Pierre’s MGTOW subtitles, it’s hard to tell.
so defending his right to remain a registered psychologist and continue to joke about suicide, promote misogyny, harass people, fat-shame, etc....and this is the hill the conservative party wants to remain on? this country is becoming a parody with you people
My take it was a tweet on social media and not a session with a patient. All the WOKED lefties loosing their shit because they can’t refute Dr Peterson in a debate.
Good...unlike yerselves ya fuggin chunks of dogshid...
Why didn’t he defend doctors,like those losing their licenses,because they chose ethics over money,thereby running afoul of the fascist CPSO (we know who they work for)? He was silent for 2 yrs while Canadians suffered and died,and when Maxime Bernier was jailed. Opportunist.
Free speech for all
5 years ago this story would be incomprehensible.
Peterson, a licensed clinical psychologist, intimated to an online interlocutor that they should kill themselves. Peterson should count himself lucky.
All of little Justin’s cuckolds coming out of the woodwork.
I notice every negative comment is a liberal and mostly from Ontario which is embarrassing, but the biggest concern they all want to condemn Jordan and scream consequences but don’t scream for the same standards for Trudeau who actually broke the hate speech laws
pierre4PM PierrePoilievre TrudeauBrokeCanada TrudeauMustGoNow TrudeauForTreason TrudeauDictatorship TrudeauCorruption TrudeauIsDestroyingCanada
It's about time we have someone speak up and fight for our rights. God knows this Liberal party being run by a man who serves the WEF not Canada is failing our country. He needs to follow in the footsteps of his father and take a walk in the snow....
Right to free speech does not mean freedom from consequences. You are free to say what you want, I’m free to use my speech to criticize you and call for your dismissal. Simple.
Everyone should!!!!!!
Change your name to the toronto enquirer same amount of truth
The toeonto sun is a disgrace to media
Liberals attacking basic human rights, again.
Why has Trudeau make freedom of speech such a bad things? What is he trying to achieve?
Why is this a conversation at all this is Canada remember it... wild and free government stay the hell away from little people's points of view we all have them. Get back to being government and working for the people and keep your nose out of what I am having for supper
Thanks Pierre but I strongly believe Dough Ford should be supporting Peterson
ksamgnet1 Damn straight I do!!! Freedom of speech is key even if you don’t like what the other person had to say!!! Trudeau is a Chinese Wanna Be Dictator. No more!!! TrudeauDictatorship
This is political interference, plain and simple. This is not the first time Pee Pee has interfered in provincial jurisdiction. Pierre Poilievre should Resign.
Yet PP declines to answer any questions from the media that presses him for policy. That some weird freedom of speech soapbox he’s standing on.
This confirms.. that Canada is truly 'Broken' and dysfunctional.. influenced by poor, unethical leadership and divisive actions...
This person is all over the map like scheer and tool and a long way from an election
The liberals don't like free speech when it's written by someone they thought respected them.
Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences
Fully support PierrePoilievre defending jordanbpeterson on this from a woke bullying CULT!
When will Canadians learn that we do NOT have freedom of speech in this country? We only have freedom of expression and it is not at all the same thing. We are not American, stop idolizing a country such as that.
Yet free speech has consequences. Defamation, libel, and professional ethics conduct.
Skippy the Rich Elite MP Infomercial Flim Flan man who says nothing.
PoilievreIsOver HateKeeper RageFarmer PoilievreMGTOW
'Advocate for smaller govt promises unprecedented intervention in private sector.'
And he supports your right to freedom of the press even when you slander him
Next he'll be inviting him for dinner or appointing him to a shadow cabinet position.
Why Jordan Peterson and trucker convoys? Does he stand up for anyone else or just far-righters who make headlines? Then again, that is what populists do.
Wow. I’m a teacher. I wonder if Pee Pee wouldn’t mind me saying what I really thought whenever I thought it. You know, free speech.
PP defends free speech when Jordan fat shames, threatens others by sending people to their home, implies people to kill themselves, etc...yet when someone suggests that they want to sexually harm PP's wife...that is wrong. Is that right? Jordan is supposed to be a phycologist.
PP has right to free speech. I have right to vote against him.
I think you mean freedom of expression, within reason and from government and our courts. This will only improve Petersons brand.
But nothing from Trudeau or Singh, the censor Kings BTW, he's not just defending Peterson's right to free speech, he's defending it for ALL Canadians. Novel idea these days,eh?
He damn well better.
'Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre defends MISOGYNIST Jordan Peterson's right to free speech' There, fixed it!
Every politician should be defending Peterson and all Canadians Right to Free speech! trudeau has proven to be the enemy of Democracy and Freedom!
Cons sure get upset when theyre held to the rules they agreed to be held to Time to grow up and stop acting like spoiled children
Lol what?
Now you have my attention! Let's Go Jordon!
How is this controversial? The irony is that Jordan, as a psychologist, is literally practicing his profession in a congruent manner and the governing body takes issue with it....
This guy is smooth, articulate and smart. Like him. And thank him
Glad to see someone in government isn't afraid to speak the truth. Dr Peterson does not deserve the attack against him, and its good that Poilievre made a statement in defense of free speech. Well done.
Everyone should be defending free speech. Free speech for only some is not free speech.
Right to blatantly lie non stop You conservatives are clowns
Who's next? This must stop.
P.P is always on the wrong side.
This has nothing to do with free speech fuck the Sun sucks ass NeverVoteConservative
As he should 👏
Peepee looking for attention from his incel bros.
…which was never taken away. Poilievre and Peterson want to be free of consequences for their speech. It doesn’t work that way.
Nobody is taking away his right of free speech. Next
Good, as he should. No doubt we’re in for a ton more usual misinformation from woke liberal nazis unfortunately…
Peterson is a wanker.
Good !
As he should.
PP declares he's for misogyny and hatred
.PierrePoilievre: ‘Sure, I tried to secretly win over incels and misogynists with my hidden mgtow hashtag, but I’m not going to hide my hatred for women or transgender people any longer! Jordan Peterson and my supporters should be able to spread hate speech everywhere!’
Why are we still stuck with this goof? Let's have an election
And this is the same 🤡 who marched with the Freedumbers! Notice a pattern?
Shame! Shame! How dare Pierre defend the right of someone to speak how they feel! 🤡
Pierre have more guts than all the other canadians politicians together.
Jordan Peterson is not dumb,nor is Polivere,they know they can twist this for the idiot vote & have a good chance of coming out on top. JP will lose his case & do speaking engagements for millions of $$’s. PP will rage farm this & stand with the freeDum folks. You know I’m right
Two failed humans found they have similar loser attributes, and that women find either a less than viable physical partner. Neither could even hit the friend zone....lol
Bring it on Trudeau. You are the most despised Communist in the wor;d.
PP lol. This is so surprising.
Everyone should.
Its not free speech. You are only entitled to free speech if you are unemployed or agree with the opinion of your employer
Viva Pollievre!!!
I'm starting to like this guy.
He hasn't lost his rights that's silly. Worried about government interference? Then you should be worried about politicians trying to influence independent professional membership organizations like the College of Psychologists of Ontario, which is just doing its job. cdnpoli
And rightfully so! Anyone who disagrees is simply not a fan of our charter of rights and freedoms I understand it isn't the 'government' forcing this however it is an affront to any professional organization to suggest that you need to align politically to its beliefs/opinions
Fake media he didn’t defend his speech. He defended all free speach. Garbage news.
You mean lies. Now it's correct. I hope the board takes his license away for mis/disinformation. Medical boards have standards. You can't just lie
Maybe he likes the truth
Interesting
Good!
Jordan Peterson as a doctor has a code of conduct to follow. Every year I worked I signed one. Not that my behaviour ever would have compromised me, but some people need to be reminded. This guy is one of those people!
If he was a private person but when he is a clinician and goes on shows and is introduced as such he has an obligation to abide by the code of ethics and practice which is very clear. He can remove himself from CP and whine in public as much as he wants afterwards.
Entirely appropriate.
That's nice, the uniparty plays along.
Of course wtf how is free speech if questioned
What did JP say/do that was against the governing body?
this fool is gross
That's the right thing to do! FreeSpeech Pierre4PM What CPOntario is doing only happens in communist tyrannies, like in TrudeauDictatorship ! ISupportJordanPeterson cdnpoli
As he should. Its in our bill of rights and freedoms. No government official can touch that
As anyone with more than 12 IQ points should
Jordan Peteron is a beacon of light.
Free speech? In Canada? Not possible
Since I can't read the article due to flooding it with ads, what has JP said that's even slightly in contention? All he does is quote the studies and refuse to have his freespeech retracted.
Breaking privacy laws isn't free.
Finally,a leader with BALLS!!!!
Yes
And so he should! Yes! If Dr Peterson gives in we’re all doomed to FREE SPEECH. Where has The Real 🍁 🇨🇦 gone
And so he should!
Hey Sun. There is no 'free speech' right. You are confused. Please fire you editor for missing that.
As we all should
Trudeau stands for freedom of speech too..unless you don't agree with him..then he'll send in the troops and freeze and seize your back account.
Free speech does not equal
Absolutely everyone should have the freedom to express themselves. Taking that away is causing us to lose our authentic identity.
As should everyone…
Thank you!!!
Talk about career over before starting….
Isn't 'freedom of speech' an American thing? Don't we have freedom of expression?
Absolutely!!
I wonder how many people who are making silly comments have never read the legislation that govern Dr. Peterson’s conduct.
So should you!
As it should be!!!!!!!!!!
It's nice to have someone who actually stands up for the citizens he represents! He sticks to his beliefs too! He's someone who truely believes in doing the RIGHT thing instead of what's right to win the political games they all play; our best interests at heart not just his.
He defended everyone’s right to free speech.
As should every premier. I may not like what someone has to say but they have the right to say it.
We know the Sun won't. They were part of the 500 million dollar Trudeau bribe.
As do we all. Jordan Peterson isn't facing possible censure for free speech reasons. Free speech has nothing to do with his situation.
The fact that people have to literally say they defend free speech in Canada, is so telling how far we have fallen under Liberal governance
Dr. Petersen can say what he wants but their are consequences. Particularly for licensed professionals. I’m glad he’s getting disciplined and the penalty seems rather weak imo.
It's such a basic ride, isn't it?
Well he should actually read the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, not the US bs.
He does not have the right to be part of Ontario's sanctioning body for pshycologists ... they have standards ... and Skippy doens't understnad what a standard is ... it is above and beyond the most basic of requirements aka ... a right ... these become ... responsibilities ...
as you and he both know, canada has freedom of expresion, not freedom of speech but that is not what has incel hero JP is in trouble for.
Cue weak liberal comments
And let the new government hopefully conservatives with Pierre Poilievre try and figure out things and bring this country back together if it's possible after you have totally destroyed what was once a great country oh forgot the only thing you ever did reduce child care costs
Bad decision. JP is a member of a professional body that has its own rules. JP knew those rules when he was granted licence to practice. They will ga e a hearing and decide. Best keep your nose out of it PP.
As does any critical thinking human should.
Of separation and becoming better off and what are trying to do kill Alberta's economy you are not a smart person at all it doesn't take a bright person to become leader of a country look who was president of the US I've been thinking of giving up my Canadian
This is similar to the case that scientists are not allowed to have different opinions on climate change. Political correct overtakes science.
To the point where are famous leader traveling to Europe after the emergencies act and leaders calling him a ruler and toll away freedom of speech from all Canadians he has to go and we need to become a united country right now we are so divided I wouldn't blame any province
As should every single person in this country, whether conservative, liberal, etc
We finally have someone I hope who will stand up for freedom of speech. I don't believe in any criminal activity to show freedom of speech but peaceful demonstration like the truckers did before beaten up and portraying them as the bad ones was a disgrace
Wrong country, FF...I mean, PP.
Sure. Free speech...on his own time, not that of patients. My chiropractor also started to preach anti vaxx anti mask misinformation. Was not welcomed from a health care professional.
Your charter rights don’t protect you from getting in trouble at work if you violate their rules. That’s like saying a child’s rights have been violated if they get grounded or a time out for swearing. That’s how ridiculous this argument sounds to people who aren’t stupid.
I’m glad there’s still a sane man alive in the government. Canada is the land of the free and home of the brave. Trudeau is turning it into Cuba and thinks he’s a mini Castro.
Has he been incarcerated because of things he’s said? No. He is being investigated because his words go against an oath he swore to in order to get his job? Yes. It’s like coming into my house and saying something hateful, will you go to jail? No. But you’ll be made to leave.
Damn right he is and I for one is proud of it. The radical left is trying to shut him up for pointing out the truth and they don’t like it. It’s about time someone takes a stand for free speech.
Love that PP just keeps making bad decisions.
Pierre Poilievre who put MGTOW in his metadata to attract an incel audience defends the man who defends and sympathizes with incels. Begging the question, why remove MGTOW from your metadata if you think there's nothing wrong with it.
Just like the old days Toronto sun. When we were allowed to speak we wanted to speak why is that wrong now because it's not pushing Trudeau's narrative to take a fake vaccine that's killing children and people. What about Asia China and Japan losing hundreds, thousands of people!
TomTSEC All lede needs to be is 'Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre defends Free Speech'
All Canadians have the right to free speech, Funny the Toronto Sun is unaware of the Canadian Charter of Rights & Freedoms?
Imagine that!!
Lefties don’t like to hear anything against them. Communism here we come.
He’s got my family’s vote! 👍
make this meeting for reprogramming PUBLIC for us all too see what they say too the good Doctor
Free speech should only be reserved for Liberal party members. Smarten up
rexglacer He actually speaks, and stands up for something! We need to hear a lot more from him. PierrePoilievre
As should we all
Fight the power…
Free speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences
This is the dumbest timeline. PP’s not defending anything, and Peterson’s rights aren’t at risk, this is about his violation of a professional code of conduct he *voluntarily* agreed to abide by 🤦♀️
Hate speech is not included in free speech. Revoke his license.
I must have missed where his right to free speech was attacked and revoked? Is it even possible for conservatives to tell the truth and not make everything a fantasy?
Incredible how many Canadians are progressive fascists.
Opposition to his free speech is draconian.
Only looney left liberals would deny a person's right to speak their mind
That’s what is most important?
A government organization denying your right to free speech is an attempt to stifle fre speech
How would this article read if Trudeau went to bat for one of his buddies in their dispute with an independent professional body? It would correctly rake JT over the coals for abuse of power- so why is Sun supporting PP using his position of power to interfere on behalf of JP?
The Ontario College of Psychologist is asking him to relax ... not Canada ... just like a teacher or a dentist or a lawyer has someone to answer to, they just can't talk crazy ... he has free fucking speech ... is he in jail He is just not free from consequences
I believe PierrePoilievre is defending FreeSpeech period. jordanbpeterson just happens to be the current prime example of how it can be so frivolously taken away, particularly under the totalitarian regime now ruling Canada.
Somebody standing up against Justin Li and Jagmeet Benedict Arnald and corrupt gatekeepers. CTV Global CBC and newspaper chains won’t hold anyone accountable
If there has to be an article about it, then Canada is already in trouble.
As he should 👍
Petite Pete jumping on the latest bandwagon in the hope of being seen as relevant.
As he should. What’s your point?
If Trudeau can go on national TV tell millions of Canadians they don't belong in this country because they have unacceptable views and their owning property makes them a threat to their community then please explain why Jordan Peterson is being targeted for speaking ?
Clearly more misinformation from Pierre Poilievre as this is not about free speech but whether he violated the rules of the College governing the profession that he knew going in.
They sleep together.
If you don’t tote the liberal ideology then you will be silenced
Cool cool. So if I freely choose to become a member of the Ontario College of Teachers and then run around on social media saying that all children should be beaten and raped because it builds character then Poilievre will defend me and my right to free speech too then?
He's totally free to say and do whatever he wants to including revoking his membership in the governing body which he voluntarily joined which regulates his profession and his conduct.
As he should
Stay out of it Skippy as you may need to back pedal later.
Good
Any leader should defend every Canadian s right to express themselves. There is no hate speech. He is entitled to his opinion. Imagine our new media actually reporting the news without the fear of upsetting the hand that feeds then (government subsidized)
Good. This is not about J.P. Everyone should care when people who criticize the government are threatened with losing their ability to work and are told they have to go in for reeducation and one person will decide if they have learned their lesson or not.
Freedom of speech sucks. I just want to be told what to think and live inside my bubble nibbling on no name chips.
NOBODY HAS DENIED PETERSON his right to say whatever nonsense he wants. However the Assoc of Psychologist has every right to disassociate with it.
❤️
Get rid of hate speech laws
When you can’t defend the substance, you defend the right to free speech.
As any public figure should.
Of course he does and so does your rag! If anything is destructive to democracy, your rag runs with it.
It has NOTHING to do with “free speech” … he violated his psychologist oath by suggesting someone should commit suicide… just as if a doctor violated the HIPPOCRATIC OATH… he must be held to account for that…. and you know this.
The simple fact 'the left' rally to destroy people's careers for words they disagree with all the while screaming 'you fascists' tells me all I need to know about their 'causes'.
Good
He was free to say and post this absurd thing.
So should he...remove our ability to voice our opinions and we destroy the vary fabric of our way of life....we might as well be living in Nazi Germany
I’m sure he would
And the guy is free to say whatever he wants. So why is this a story?
PP is a dangerous individual with even more dangerous ideas. I was a Conservative supporter until he came along. I’d rather abstain from voting than vote for him.
Damn right
Peterson is a smart man!
Good... Peterson does have free speech!! Just like Trudeau... and if they don't agree, awesome, allows the individual to figure things out for themselves - and also free to speech and opinions.... call3d democracy
Jordan Peterson’s right to free speech has never been denied. Jordan Peterson is experiencing consequences from his free speech. His Charter rights protect his free speech in terms of government, not his professional association. Does Poilievre not understand the Charter?
Absolutely…this is insane and should not be tolerated in a free society.Politicians must be held accountable …the fascist Trudeau Government has normalized this and cheer leaded by the Main Stream Media.Indoctrination Camps (re-education)is the first step of anarachy😡
Liberals crying out “If he disagrees with our Dear Leader he should be muzzled!!!”
this isn't journalism.
Ethics violations are OK with PierrePoilievre if committed by mysognist hate filled right wing nut bars
Speech is only free if you agree with the liberals. Otherwise there is a high cost to pay.
Jordan Peterson is one of the few things remaining that make me proud to be Canadian.
Time for skipp and the LiberalHypocrisy to GO!!!
As he should.
He gets my vote.....
