Don't know much about Jordan Peterson; would like to keep it that way.
But here are the actions named in the complaint:
[9] Between January and June 2022, the College received numerous reports about Dr. Peterson's conduct on social media and in his public appearances. The reports again raised concerns about Dr. Peterson's professionalism, including whether his tweets complied with the College's Standards of Professional Conduct. The tweets and statements included the following:
(a) A tweet on January 2, 2022, in which Dr. Peterson responded to an individual who expressed concern about overpopulation by stating: "You're free to leave at any point."
Um ... so isn't someone complaining about his professional organization's requirements also free to leave at any point -- ? Apparently Peterson sees some value in identifying himself as a "clinical psychologist" in spite of not having practiced in some time. If he's maligning his professional organization ... what exactly is the value to him of identifying himself with it -- ?
(b) Various comments Dr. Peterson made on a January 25, 2022, appearance on the podcast, "The Joe Rogan Experience". Dr. Peterson is identified as a clinical psychologist and spoke about a “vindictive” client whose complaint about him was a “pack of lies.” Speaking about air pollution and child deaths, Dr. Peterson said: “it’s just poor children, and the world has too many people on it anyways.”
It really is unprofessional to air grievances with a client publicly. A professional is an expert who uses his expertise to promote someone else's interests, usually for a fee. You are not promoting your client's interests when you lambaste him publicly; if you are forced into legal action against a client, you reveal no more than what you need to in your legal pleadings, and only in the venues where you need to reveal.
I suspect there's some significant missing context from the last part, but, yeah, I tend to think that almost any professional organization would draw the line in the conduct of members this side of approving of killing children.
(c) A tweet on February 7, 2022, in which Dr. Peterson referred to Gerald Butts as a "prik".
?
(d) A tweet on February 19, 2022, in which Dr. Peterson commented that Catherine McKenney, an Ottawa City Councillor who uses they/them pronouns, was an "appalling self-righteous moralizing thing".
I'm guessing that the "appalling self-righteous moralizing thing" is insisting on they/them pronouns; is there no writing standard for Canadian courts?
I guess I'm of the opinion that any clinical psychologist making such a statement about any non-harmful behavior reflects very poorly on the profession.
(e) In response to a tweet about actor Elliot Page being “proud” to introduce a trans character on a TV show, Dr. Peterson tweeted on June 22, 2022: "Remember when pride was a sin? And Ellen Page just had her breasts removed by a criminal physician."
So here we have a clinical psychologist invoking religion and then giving a legal opinion ... hmm.
(f) A further complaint about Dr. Peterson's January 2, 2022 tweet, in which Dr. Peterson responded to an individual who expressed concern about overpopulation by stating: "You're free to leave at any point." The further complaint provided a link to a 2018 GQ interview in which Dr. Peterson made a similar comment about suicide.
?
(g) Dr. Peterson's tweet posted in May 2022, in which he commented on a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition cover with a plus-sized model, tweeting: "Sorry. Not Beautiful. And no amount of authoritarian tolerance is going to change that."
I remember when beauty was said to be in the eye of the beholder ...
I think Peterson loses in his complaint all the way around.
He seems to have shifted professions to being a blow-hard; maybe he should look into what organizations exist for that.
