Jordan Peterson: At long last, my re-education 'coach' has been chosen
I don't know if Canadians have the interest or the patience to submit themselves yet another time to another chapter of the interminable saga of the conflict that I have been embroiled in for what seems like forever with the relatively newly renamed Ontario College of Psychologists and Behaviour Analysts. I know I'm sick and tired of the whole affair, having moved out of the country in no small part in consequence of the prejudice, ideologically-motivated shenanigans, false morality and petty power mongering of that august body. Article content Article content I ran afoul of the worthies who run that incomprehensible organization for reasons that are not sufficiently clear to me and appear to be even more opaque to them. I'll summarize the situation as best I can, nonetheless, so that we are all on the same page, insofar as that is even possible. I was charged by my professional organization, responsible for ensuring the public is properly served by psychologists, with something approximating unprofessional conduct for my behaviour on social media — particularly on X, when it was still Twitter. Here is a summary of my crimes (and I say crimes because the legal cost of breaking these rules is high, the punishment severe — loss of my professional license and the disgrace associated with that — and lawyers and the courts are almost certain to be involved). Article content Article content I objected to an actress who was subjected to the entirely barbarous and unforgivable although voluntary removal of her breasts advertising that fact proudly to her multitude of fans, many of whom were exactly the kind of star-worshipping and therefore highly influenceable young women maximally susceptible to the dangerous social contagion that is camouflaged under the evil rubric of 'gender affirming care.' Since I made that objection, none other than the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom has decided that there is a fundamental and inalienable difference between men and women. Furthermore, that country and many others (including the Netherlands where the horror originated) have concluded that there is little evidence that such 'care' produces anything but terrible harm, and have banned such procedures for minors. In addition, incontrovertible evidence has emerged that the organizations who pushed for the widespread adoption of such appalling treatment and described it as a moral and scientific necessity were corrupt, unqualified, manipulative and even sadistic ideologues pushing a pathological falsehood. Article content Article content No crime there, apparently, on my part, let's say, with the wisdom of retrospection — although in Canada a nurse, Amy Hamm of British Columbia, recently had her life destroyed (that is, she was sanctioned by her professional college and then fired by her employer) for having the temerity to support the world's most famous author, J.K. Rowling, in the latter's insistence that trans activists and their idiot movement of narcissists and psychopaths pose a genuine danger to sanity, women and society. Article content What else was deemed evidence of my guilt? I criticized our dearly departed leader, Justin Trudeau, for his progressive idiocy, and threw in a former staff member of his and an Ottawa city councillor for good measure. They all richly deserved the criticism and much more and had worked diligently and for a long time to earn it. Article content I pointed out on the world's most famous podcast that the economic models of doom that the climate apocalypse mongers have been foisting on the public and demoralizing young people for decades with were a pack of antihuman lies, founded on shaky climate 'models,' which (1) do not indicate an emergency even by the admission of the modellers themselves and pointing out (2) that models are hypotheses, not data. That criticism is looking pretty good now, too, as Germany suffers tremendous economic decline in consequence of the green idiocy; as the U.K. and the U.S. have abandoned much of the Net Zero moralizing; as even Canadians, shocked by Trump, have realized that we will languish and perish without the fossil fuels the bloody deluded greens have worked so hard and so utterly counterproductively to demonize. So no crime there, either, ladies and gentlemen.

Utah 'No Kings' rally bystander shot and killed by peacekeeper firing at potential shooter, police say
A man who was believed to be part of a peacekeeping team for the 'No Kings' protest in Salt Lake City shot at a person who was brandishing a rifle at demonstrators, striking both the rifleman and a bystander who later died at the hospital, authorities said Sunday. Article content Police took the alleged rifleman, Arturo Gamboa, 24, into custody Saturday evening on a murder charge, Salt Lake City Police Chief Brian Redd said at a Sunday news conference. The bystander was Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, 39, a fashion designer from Samoa. Article content Article content Article content Detectives don't yet know why Gamboa pulled out a rifle or ran from the peacekeepers, but they accused him of creating the dangerous situation that led to Ah Loo's death. The Associated Press did not immediately find an attorney listed for Gamboa or contact information for his family in public records. Article content Article content Redd said the man believed to be part of the peacekeeping team, dressed in a neon green vest, fired three shots from a handgun at Gamboa, inflicting a relatively minor injury but fatally shooting Ah Loo. Redd did not share the man's name. Article content Volunteer peacekeeping teams are common for protests, said Sarah Parker, a national coordinator for 50501 Movement, which was a partner in the 'No Kings' protest. But the organizers ask attendees, including the peacekeepers, not to bring weapons, she said. Still, Parker said they stopped what could've been a larger mass casualty event. Article content 'Our safety team did as best as they could in a situation that is extremely sad and extremely scary,' said Parker. Article content Ah Loo, known as Afa, was a husband and father to two children and a fashion designer who leaned into his Samoan heritage, according to a GoFundMe page organized to support his family. Ah Loo founded Creative Pacific, an event celebrating the diversity of the Pacific Islands, with workshops, artists and a fashion runway. He was on Season 17 of the fashion design reality TV show 'Project Runway.' Article content Article content We are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of Arthur 'Afa' Folasa Ah Loo. A celebrated Samoan fashion designer and creative force in the Pacific community, Afa's talent and vibrant cultural vision inspired many across the region and beyond. A few years ago, the U.S. Embassy in New… — US Embassy NZ 🇺🇸🇳🇿 (@usembassynz) June 16, 2025 Article content The gunshots sent hundreds of protesters running, some hiding behind barriers and fleeing into parking garages and nearby businesses, police said in a statement. 'That's a gun. Come on, come on, get out,' someone can be heard saying in a video posted to social media that appears to show the events. Article content Article content 'No Kings' protests swept across the country on Saturday, and organizers said millions rallied against what they described as President Donald Trump's authoritarian tendencies. Article content Confrontations were largely isolated. In Riverside, California, authorities said a driver of an SUV struck a woman who was participating in a demonstration and sped away. The woman had 'significant injuries' but was stable, police said, adding that they were still searching for the driver.
