An attempt to "cancel" a popular psychologist
How the perspective difference in Canada reveals a global conflict.
Jordan Peterson is a world-renowned Canadian scholar of clinical psychology. Not only has he taught at Harvard and the University of Toronto, but he has a tremendous commercial success after having published several books.
Over the past five or seven years, while discussions in the United States, Canada, and Western Europe have been raging about gender identity, women's role in society, and men's role as "historical oppressors," Peterson has become one of the most notable figures debunking such ideas about the world order.
But it's not about his views: his interviews or public appearances, can easily be found on the Internet. It's a case when a group of people is trying to cancel a major expert, whose position has long been known, and who was also "cancelled" by a huge company like Twitter. It happened in the summer of 2022, but the wave of attacks on him hasn't stopped.
The last time such thing happened to perhaps the most influential man in the world of the last several years was when U.S. ex-president Donald Trump was "cancelled" by Twitter. He ended up creating his own social network, Truth Social.
Jordan Peterson is now scheduled to speak in Kelowna, British Columbia, promoting his book "Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life." However, a city council servant has initiated a petition to cancel his visit.
