Although I am not a fan of Peterson, this is more evidence for the profound decay in the supposed intellectual Guardians of liberal society, i.e., colleges and universities. This decay is in my opinion the greatest danger today facing Western Society. University ideas filter throughout the culture via graduates in every discipline. Academic ideas rationalized as "justice", such as neo-racist CRT or anti-free speech, drive increasing division and strife. Anti-free-market political philosophies drive declining economic efficiency and increasing political control or distortion of peaceful economic choice, action, and cooperation.
However, from my perspective, illiberal leftist intellectual ideas began chipping away at classical liberal ideas long ago in ways most of us would judge more benign. In my opinion, they were not benign, because they established a precedent of false standards for social morality and justice that now are taken for granted and rarely discussed or debated. For example, how many of us would question long held, government policies, such as the licensing of certain professionals or the creation of agencies such as the FDA or Social Security that "protect us"? From my view, a truly liberal ideology would respect all peaceful, mutually acceptable voluntary choices, including the freedom to make a private judgment as to a professional's qualifications, such as a doctor, or the risk/benefit of any proposed assistance from the profession, or to voluntarily participate in a retirement program. True liberal laws would outlaw and punish acts such as fraud, meaning individuals who knowingly misrepresent themselves or falsify data. The latter is means for gaining a value from another person without their peaceful voluntary consent, which underlies all true crime in my opinion. Working as professional without the permission of government is not a crime under this standard.
Canada is in double trouble, well ahead of the curve for encouraging "governing bodies" to dictate what is and is NOT allowed. Currently we have a government in power, gleefully using this power to further control Canadians with it's illiberal toxic social justice narcissism.
Bill C4 - amends the Criminal Code to prohibit certain activities that relate to “conversion therapy”.
Conversion Therapy is a practice, treatment or service designed to change a person’s gender identity to cisgender.
Counselling a 10 year-old girl, that she may not be the boy she so convincingly claims...appears no longer to be an option.
