What Peterson wants this to be about, and what it is actually about, are two different things. He keeps leaving out the pretty key part of it all, and why the court rejected the idea it wasn't within the College's purview:
-He was first directed to undergo social media training by the CPO's complaints committee in 2022 following an investigation that found he may have engaged in “degrading, demeaning, and unprofessional comments" related to an appearance on "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast. In the episode, Peterson identified himself as a clinical psychologist and appeared to demean a former client. The college's ethics code requires members to use respectful language and not engage in "unjust discrimination."
- Last August, Superior Court Justice Paul Schabas ruled against Peterson and upheld the college's education order(opens in a new tab). The judge found the move “does not prevent Dr. Peterson from expressing himself on controversial topics."
"Dr. Peterson sees himself functioning as a clinical psychologist 'in the broad public space' where he claims to be helping 'millions of people,'" Schabas wrote in his decision. "He cannot have it both ways: he cannot speak as a member of a regulated profession without taking responsibility for the risk of harm that flows from him speaking in that trusted capacity."
