Supreme Court Rejects Peterson's Appeal on Training Order
News summary

Canada’s Supreme Court has dismissed Jordan Peterson’s appeal against the College of Psychologists of Ontario's order to undergo social media training or risk losing his license. The order stemmed from complaints that some of Peterson's social media posts were degrading and unprofessional, potentially harming the profession's reputation. Peterson, who has not seen patients since 2017, argued that his statements were not made in his capacity as a clinical psychologist. Despite his assertions, lower courts upheld the college's decision, and the Supreme Court provided no reason for rejecting the appeal. Peterson and his lawyer claim this decision is a blow to free speech, with potential chilling effects on professionals in regulated fields. The case has sparked broader debates about freedom of expression and the role of regulatory bodies in policing speech not directly tied to professional practice.
