Jordan Peterson puts Canadian mansion on market to move to US
The house is located in Toronto's Seaton Village, and the couple's ownership was confirmed by their daughter, Mikhaila Fuller. Fuller, 33, told the National Post that her parents are re–locating to Paradise Valley in Arizona. 'With the touring they do, they were hardly in Toronto at all anymore, and it didn't make sense to keep the house,' she said – adding that her parents 'are not rebuying in Toronto.'
Peterson's (pictured) decision to leave Canada comes two years after the author – who is also a clinical psychologist and media personality – was told by Canada's College of Psychologists of Ontario to undergo re–education therapy for controversial public statements he made. The Canadian College of Psychologists argued that Peterson said things they don't agree with and they feel the need to fix his beliefs.
Peterson took his case to court because of concerns regarding how the order might impact his professional license in psychology, but the Ontario Divisional Court dismissed Peterson's claim and upheld the College of Psychologists' demand. According to the court, statements Peterson made were 'degrading, demeaning and unprofessional,' according to Daily Citizen.
This is why, the court holds, Peterson was forced to undergo a 'coaching program' by the Canadian College of Psychologists to 'reflect on, and ameliorate (his) professionalism in public statements .' Peterson posted his response to the ruling on X , 'If you think that you have a right to free speech in Canada You're delusional, he wrote. 'I will make every aspect of this public And we will see what happens when utter transparency is the rule,' he continued. 'Bring it on.'
Peterson's controversial statements mostly center around his views on gender identity, free speech and social issues. He was suspended from Twitter in 2022 for 'misgendering' transgender actor Elliot Page, using Page's former name 'Ellen' instead of their current one, according to the New York Post.
Peterson's videos were also demonetized on YouTube in 2022 after he described gender–affirming care as 'Nazi medical experiment–level wrong' in a video, Axios reports. Despite Peterson's controversies and his re–education saga, Mikhaila maintains that her parents are moving to Arizona to be close to her, her husband Jordan and their children Elizabeth Peterson and George Peterson Fuller.
Peterson's daughter, who is also the CEO of Peterson Academy – which she co–founded with her father, described seeing the home where she spent most of her childhood for sale as 'bittersweet.'
Realtor Daniel Freeman told National Post that Peterson and his family have called the 100-year-old-plus midtown home theirs since 1999, but over the last nine years they've completed extensive improvements and upgrades. The 1,700–square–foot house is designed to perfection – with stunning open plan living spaces and plenty of natural light.

Trump wrongly claims no other country uses mail-in ballots during latest rant
Donald Trump falsely claimed that no other country uses mail-in ballots, asserting they are "corrupt" and lead to "massive fraud". These remarks were made to reporters at the White House, with Volodymyr Zelensky present and silent beside him. Contrary to Trump's claims, the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance confirms that 12 countries, including Canada, Germany, and South Korea, allow all voters to cast ballots by post. There is no evidence to support Trump's allegations of corruption concerning mail-in voting, despite him previously encouraging Republicans to use them. Watch the video in full above.

Flight attendant union leaders ‘ready to go to jail' as Air Canada strike outlawed
Union leaders representing 10,000 striking flight attendants have said they would be willing to go to jail rather than comply with an order to return to work, as Canada's federal government seeks to end a bitter contract dispute that has halted hundreds of summer flights and stranded travellers around the world. Speaking to reporters on Monday, the national president of the Canadian Union of Public Employees said members would remain on the picket lines as part of a work stoppage that has halted Air Canada's national and international operations during its busiest season. 'There's no limit. We're going to stay strong. We're going to stay committed to making sure those workers can do the job they love doing and actually be able to afford a roof over their heads, to afford caring for their families,' said Mark Hancock. 'And if means folks like me going to jail, then so be it.' Hancock said members want a solution, 'but that solution has to be found at a bargaining table'. Flight attendants with Air Canada went on strike on Saturday after months of failed negotiations with Canada's flagship carrier over wages. Ahead of the work stoppage, Air Canada warned that a shutdown could affect 130,000 people a day. Less than 12 hours after the strike took effect, however, the country's jobs minister, Patty Hajdu, used her broad powers to impose binding arbitration on both parties – a move the union representing flight attendants decried as unconstitutional. 'The talks broke down,' Hajdu told reporters over the weekend. 'It is clear that the parties are not any closer to resolving some of the key issues that remain and they will need help with the arbitrator.' Air Canada initially said it planned to resume flights on Sunday, but the union said it would defy the government's back-to-work order and accused the governing Liberal party of trampling on workers' rights and setting a 'terrible' precedent. 'The Liberals have talked out of both sides of their mouths. They said the best place for this is at the bargaining table. They refused to correct this historic injustice through legislation,' Wesley Lesosky, a senior member of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, said in a statement. 'Now, when we're at the bargaining table with an obstinate employer, the Liberals are violating our Charter rights to take job action and give Air Canada exactly what they want – hours and hours of unpaid labour from underpaid flight attendants, while the company pulls in sky-high profits and extraordinary executive compensation.' Following an emergency hearing on Sunday requested by Air Canada, the industrial relations board sided with the federal government and airline. 'The members of the union's bargaining unit are directed to resume the performance of their duties immediately and to refrain from engaging in unlawful strike activities,' according to a directive from the board. The union said it intends to challenge government-imposed binding arbitration in a federal court. If they defy the order from the labour board, union heads can be arrested and union members face the prospect of steep fines. The prime minister, Mark Carney, said it was 'disappointing' the stalled negotiations had not yielded a new contract. 'We recognize very much the critical role that flight attendants play in keeping Canadians and their families safe as they travel, comfortable as they travel,' Carney told reporters on Monday. 'And it's important that they're compensated equitably at all times, fairly at all times.' On Monday morning, Air Canada said it hoped to resume flights later in the day, but also suspended its financial guidance for the third quarter and its full year due to the shutdown. The strike is expected to cost the airline tens of millions of dollars in lost earnings each day.

Trump claims no one else in the world uses mail-in ballots during rant after supporting postal voting last year
Donald Trump has falsely claimed that no one else in the world uses mail-in ballots in a lengthy rant while Volodymyr Zelensky sat silently next to him during the Ukrainian leader's visit to the White House. Speaking to reporters on Monday (18 August), the US president said that postal voting was 'corrupt' and other countries did not use it as it leads to 'massive fraud all over the place'. A total of 12 countries, including Canada, Germany, and South Korea, allow all voters to vote by mail in their elections, according to the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance. There is no evidence to support Trump's claim that mail-in voting is 'corrupt'. Last year, Trump urged Republicans to request mail-in ballots to get their votes in early ahead of election day to 'swamp the vote'.
