This article doesn’t mention that the last straw was a tweet where he joked “You’re free to leave at anytime”, by which he meant “kill yourself if you’re so concerned about the planet”.

I’d say a psychologist endorsing self harm losing his license isn’t an overstep even in countries that have freedom of speech

Just needing professionalism training should be seen as a home run for him

Would love to hear how he plans to backtrack on that one

He wont have to:

  1. On July 27, 2022, the Panel released decisions recommending no further action be taken regarding Dr. Peterson’s tweet in which it was alleged he encouraged people to commit suicide (“you’re free to leave at any point”), finding that, while “provocative and inflammatory” it “could be interpreted as innuendo, a joke, or parody”, and did not “rise to the level of disgraceful, dishonourable, or unprofessional conduct.” Additionally, a tweet critical of the involvement of the Children’s Aid Society in removing children from the Ottawa trucker protest was also found to require no further action.

The panel here is the Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee (“ICRC”) of the College of Psychologists of Ontario

But it sure doesn't sound like he's off the hook for all the other shit he said.

It also leaves out when he tweeted kink porn of factory man milking thinking it was a real thing the Chinese government is doing
