Jordan Peterson's acknowledgement of your own case illustrates the importance of us all speaking out whenever possible. Enjoyed your article. Good luck in your case!
The global censorship regime infiltrating and destroying democratic nations is a concern for free peoples everywhere. The whole world is watching. If there are any lawyers and judges who still believe in the rule of law over political gain, the time for you to act is now. If there are academia who still believe in individual thought, the time to act is now. If there are any medical professionals who still believe in the sanctity of human life and dignity, the time to act is now. And if there are other journalists who still see through a clear and impartial lens, the time to act is now. As for the rest of us, it's time for us to decide if we want to be put down by an iron hand, or link arm in arm and rise up toward the sun. My arms are reaching out. Are yours?
If people can’t see the danger in professional organizations and media corps punishing people for criticism of Trudeau, who rightly deserves much scrutiny, there are lots of places where the long tail of this thinking is firmly entrenched and the outcomes are dire. Iran just executed two young men for protesting the govt. It’s not hyperbolic to suggest that we need to stand firm against any suggestion to re-educate people regarding their views on leaders.
Bell Media is despicable in so many ways. They fired many unvaccinated employees in 2021 and continue to discriminate, refusing to hire unvaccinated people going forward. It's all part of the same woke ideology infesting so many of our institutions.
Let’s be brutally honest as well, if Peterson’s criticisms were of Pollievre and centre to centre right figures, we wouldn’t be hearing boo from the media or the CPO. Institutions falling in lockstep with the political leanings of the day are captured and no longer serve society. You may not think twice about the issue when it’s your tribe. Tribes change and precedence matters. It’s why invoking the EMA was such a toxic action. Trudeau is emboldened and that’s dangerous for Canada. He does not possess the temperament or IQ required to guide us forward through these times. Good luck Jamil. Your resistance matters.
Well Trudeau doesn't like being called puppet but he likes calling other people names .Time for this puppet to set down before he destroys canada completely
I get super tired of these caveats. People always feel the need to make statements like this because Peterson is weirdly controversial. Just state your opinion and stand behind it. It won’t get you a get out of jail free card because ‘you aren’t a fan’. It’s playing into cancel cultures insane rules and allowing you to dip your toe but not be implicated too much. It’s this lack of backbone that reinforces institutions like Bell and CPO in the first place.

Great comment Tina!!

Puppet is the absolutely perfect word for JT.
JP sums up your situation succinctly as a black man who refused to be the house n*gga for Bell Media. He nailed it.
Good job not letting them use you.
Best of luck!
Best of luck to you Jamil in your case against CTV.
Good luck, keep up your important fight.

I am no fan of Peterson, but compelled speech and forcing someone to submit to "re-education" is wrong.

My opinion: Peterson's a jerk, but he shouldn't be silenced for it. I can dislike someone and still believe they have the right to speak.
It’s ok you don’t understand my point and that’s totally fine.
