Supreme Court of Canada dismisses Jordan Peterson’s appeal against mandatory social media ‘training’

From LifeSiteNews
Dr. Jordan Peterson, a best-selling Canadian author and clinical psychologist who gained fame for his opposition to compelled speech and gender ideology, has lost his final appeal and must undergo social media ‘re-education’ or risk losing his clinical license.
The Supreme Court of Canada is refusing to hear an appeal by Dr. Jordan Peterson after the College of Psychologists of Ontario mandated he undergo social media “training” or risk losing his license to practice after he challenged the LGBT agenda online.
On August 8, Dr. Jordan Peterson, a best-selling Canadian author and clinical psychologist who gained fame for his opposition to compelled speech and gender ideology, had his appeal against the College of Psychologists of Ontario rejected by the Supreme Court of Canada. Peterson had petitioned the court after the regulatory body mandated he undergo social media “training” following complaints related to posts he made on social media opposing gender ideology, specifically the mutilation of children.
“The court has rejected my appeal regarding the decision of the Ontario College of Psychologists to subject me to indefinite re-education,” Peterson posted on X in response to the dismissal by the nation’s highest court.

“Primarily for publicly opposing the butchers and liars subjecting children to sterilization and mutilation,” he continued. “I am also required to pay whatever court costs the College accrued in relation to my appeal.”
“I am now bereft of options on the legal front in Canada,” Peterson declared. “I guess it’s on with the show.”
The court did not give a reason for its decision, and being the nation’s highest court, was Peterson’s last path of recourse after he lost his appeal in a lower court in January.
The penalty of mandatory training was first imposed by the College last August in response to comments made by Peterson over a number of years in which he criticized the LGBT agenda among other left-wing causes.
“Since at least 2018, the college has received complaints about Dr. Peterson’s public statements,” an Ontario Supreme Court panel said in an August 2023 ruling, Inside Higher Ed reported.
“Some complaints have been formal, but many were ‘tweeted’ to the college via the social media platform Twitter, and often involved Dr. Peterson’s views on topics of social and political interest, including transgender questions, racism, overpopulation and the response to COVID-19,” the court stated.
A spokesman for the court confirmed the ruling in an email comment provided to The Canadian Press, adding that the panel on the court “does not provide reasons for its decisions.”
Upon receiving the penalty from the College, Peterson pledged to challenge the decision in court. In the event his challenges were unsuccessful, Peterson promised to “publicize every single bit” of his mandatory “re-education.”
While Peterson risks losing his clinical license if he refuses the “re-education,” he has noted that he has become “independently wealthy” and successfully independent of his clinical practice, which he “had to fold up in 2017” when he first gained famed for opposing the compelled use of pronouns not in conformity with biological reality.
Although Peterson has been a vociferous critic of Trudeau and left-wing ideology, much of his work is still related to the field of psychology, having authored multiple books and given hundreds of lectures on the importance of urging people, especially young men, to embrace disciple and personal responsibility.

Global media alliance colluded with foreign nations to crush free speech in America: House report

From LifeSiteNews
By Dan Frieth
The now-defunct ad coalition GARM shared insider data and urged boycotts of Twitter to punish non-compliance with its ‘harmful content’ standards, a US House Judiciary report shows.
A new report from the U.S. House Judiciary Committee has shed light on what it describes as an alarming collaboration between powerful corporations and foreign governments aimed at suppressing lawful American speech.
The investigation focuses on the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM), an initiative founded in 2019 by the World Federation of Advertisers (WFA), which the committee accuses of acting as a censorship cartel.
According to the report, GARM, whose members control about 90 percent of global advertising spending, exploited its market dominance to pressure platforms like Twitter (now X) into compliance with its restrictive content policies.
A copy of the report can be found HERE.
The committee highlighted how GARM sought to “effectively reduce the availability and monetization” of content it deemed harmful, regardless of public demand for free expression.
Documents obtained by the committee reveal direct coordination between GARM and foreign regulators, including the European Commission and Australia’s eSafety commissioner.
In one exchange, a European bureaucrat encouraged advertisers to leverage their influence to “push Twitter to deliver on GARM asks.”
Similarly, Australia’s eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant praised GARM’s “significant collective power in helping to hold the platforms to account” and sought updates to “take into account in our engagement and regulatory decisions.”
Robert Rakowitz, GARM’s co-founder and initiative lead, expressed a chilling goal in private correspondence, stating that silencing President Donald Trump was his “main thing” and likening the president’s speech to a “contagion” he aimed to contain “to protect infection overall.”
The report outlines how GARM distributed previously unavailable non-public information about Twitter’s adherence to its standards, fully aware this would prompt advertisers to boycott the platform if it failed to conform. According to the House report, Rakowitz admitted that this information sharing was designed to encourage members not to advertise on Twitter.
He went as far as to draft statements urging GARM members to halt advertising on the platform, telling colleagues he had gone “as close as possible” to saying Twitter “is unsafe, cease and desist.”
Despite the widespread impact of GARM’s actions, including what the committee describes as coerced “concessions” from platforms, internal polling circulated within GARM showed that “66 percent of American consumers valued free expression over protection from harmful content.”
Still, GARM pressed ahead with efforts to “eliminate all categories of harmful content in the fastest possible timing,” ignoring consumer preferences.
Even after GARM dissolved in 2024 amid legal challenges, similar efforts persisted.
A new coalition led by Dentsu and The 614 Group briefly attempted to revive GARM’s mission before disbanding under scrutiny. Gerry D’Angelo, a former GARM leader, reflected on the initiative’s overreach, stating, “Did we go too far in those first rounds of exclusionary restrictions? I would say yes.”
The Judiciary Committee warns that despite GARM’s downfall, the threat of collusion to stifle free expression remains.
It pledged to continue oversight to defend “the fundamental principles” of the Constitution and ensure that markets, not coordinated censorship efforts, shape the flow of information in the digital age.

Jordan Peterson reveals DEI ‘expert’ serving as his ‘re-education coach’ for opposing LGBT agenda

From LifeSiteNews
The Ontario College of Psychologists has selected Jordan Peterson’s “re-education coach” for having publicly opposed the LGBT agenda.
In a June 16 op-ed published by the National Post, Canadian psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson revealed that U.K. citizen Harry Cayton will guide him through the mandatory training.
“In the last week … the College has re-established contact, after months of unnecessary delay, which occurred in violation of their own order and guidelines. They have made me an entirely new offer, all the while insisting that this was their intent all along, which it most clearly was not,” Peterson said.
“All they really want, it turns out, is one two-hour session, which will not involve any ‘social media’ training,” he further explained. “This will be conducted by a man — one Harry Cayton — a citizen of the U.K., who is neither social media expert, according to the College and is definitely not a psychologist.”
Harry Cayton, a supposed expert on “professional regulation and governance,” is known professionally for promoting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives.
In 2021, he was appointed to conduct an independent review of the British Columbia Law Society’s governance structure, specifically examining how it supports DEI goals.
Additionally, in 2022, while appearing on Ascend Radio’s podcast, Cayton argued there should be more DEI regulations in professional associations.
Peterson has promised to make the details of his “re-education” public, questioning why the College wishes to hide what Cayton plans to discuss with him.
“If I am the intransigent fool, and he is the wizard to set things right, why not bless everyone interested with his wisdom, and allow them to participate in the restructuring of my psyche and eventual enlightening? Why the concern with confidentiality?” he asked.
Peterson also explained that he will publicize the training “so that people who are interested can decide for themselves what is going on.”
In January 2024, Peterson lost his appeal of the board’s decision to compel him to undergo mandatory re-education, meaning that he must attend the training or risk losing his license to practice psychology in Ontario.
Peterson also revealed that his “legal options have” now “been exhausted” after Ontario’s highest court rejected his appeal of the College’s 2022 ruling that his public political statements ran afoul of the administrative board’s rules and that he must therefore submit to, and personally pay for, a “coaching program” on professionalism.
Peterson is a widely-known critic of Canada’s increasingly totalitarian government. He has also spoken frequently on the need for young men to accept and take on personal responsibility. While he has seemingly inspired others to explore Christianity, he has not yet espoused a personal belief in any religion, though he affirmed his wife Tammy in her decision to convert to Catholicism in 2024.
