The Fight Between Dr. Jordan Peterson and the College of Psychologists of Ontario

On June 21, in a hot, crowded courtroom at Old Osgoode Hall in downtown Toronto, the fight between Dr. Jordan Peterson and the College of Psychologists of Ontario played out. During the hearing, the lawyers hired by the College of Psychologists made great hay of the controversy of those statements by Dr. Peterson, which were no doubt controversial. While arguing with Trudeau’s former chief of staff and an Ottawa city councillor, Dr. Peterson used rude epithets. Dr. Peterson made comments about the changing nature of aesthetic beauty by referring to a plus size model as “not beautiful. The complaints were mostly made informally by strangers to Dr. Peterson, who had tagged the college on Twitter.
