Dr. Jordan Peterson, a licensed Canadian psychologist, may take legal action after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused the media personality of being a Russian asset. “We recently saw that RT is funding right-wing bloggers and YouTube personalities in North America … like Jordan Peterson … amplify messages that destabilize democracies,” Trudeau said. Peterson told the National Post he has never taken Russian money, “not ever in the past and not now.”“It’s a very serious accusation,” Peterson told the Post on Thursday. It’s worse than that, because I’ve been informing myself as to foreign media manipulation, in detail,” said Peterson. He previously expressed worry that his case may embolden “tyrannical regulatory boards” as he must now undergo remedial social media training to maintain his clinical license.
