The Telegraph Dr Jordan Peterson discusses his home country of Canada, which the professor believes has been taken over by Left-wing authoritarians and predatory psychopaths.
Listen to this bonus episode of Off Script hosted by The Telegraph’s Steven Edginton.
Jordan Peterson on The decline and fall of Canada
Why does the situation appear particularly grim, here in Maple Leaf Country? We were, for most of my country’s history, miraculously and thankfully dull: our constitution, ensconced safely under British authority until 1982, enshrined “peace, order and good government” as the most basic principles of our dominion. This was not the clarion call ringing out to rally our good friends south of the border, who aimed at the much more dramatic and libertarian “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” It was good enough, however, to produce a reliable, safe, secure and free state, conservative in the classic small-c sense, with institutions both predictable and honest, and an economy both productive and generous.
That all started to change in the 1980s. Our dashing prime minister, Pierre Elliot Trudeau – father of the current Prime Minister, our current clown prince – was searching desperately for a legacy and for a solution to the chronic problem posed by the Quebec separatists, who were genuinely threatening the integrity of the country. Quebec was the last feudal country in the West: extremely traditional and dominated by a very small, tight, essentially hereditary elite right until the end of the 1950s. Quebec dumped all that in a few short years in a fit of 1960’s freedom, also dropping its birth and marriage rate with exceptional rapidity (both are now among the lowest in the world) and abandoning the Catholic church in favour of a crude nationalism and a more-or-less socialist utopia favoured by those who pushed to also tear apart the country.

What is a problem with Trudeau in light of his lack of qualifications is people ignore all his negatvies even when they are continuously blatant.
Peterson is right … some people don 't want to hear it… Kinda like the Captain of the Titanic..it will get better and it is going to a disaster..
Citations needed for all of this. The main paper he quotes at the beginning: "we were well on the way to publishing that.. only ended up being produced in a Masters format". Lol. I bet.
Just a man standing around eloquently stating the emperor has no clothes, and being derided for it by the very people he is trying to convince.
Narcissist Jordan Peterson said what?
Trudeau is like many others in the world under control of higher powers. To do the job.
All goes back to the Common Purpose Charity that Blairs New Labour spent millions sending its supporters on courses as Labour or should that be Blair, tried to take over the UK. When the list of members and graduates hit wikileaks they went mad cos it exposed Police Lawyers Judges Councillors and its philosophy was mob rule, even if it was against the law if it fitted the will of the majority, DO IT !! So they made sure when needed they held a majority voting right, the British Justice System then became the unjust system cos the Laws of Court were ignored and broken for fun
Jordan for prime minister how amazing would that be.
We might think JTrudeau, might be a santaKlaus Golden haired bouy..
Great interview!!! Truth means EVERYTHING.
Make jordan p Canada prime minister
TURD Eau Justin Fidel Castro is a mentally unstable individual
TRUDEAU IS THE WHITE VERSION OF OBAMA.
A narcissist calling someone else a narcissist is funny!
What purpose it serve keeping a compulsive liar and cheat in power? He is obviously brainwashing the Canadian people using propaganda just as Adolf Hitler did. Is ut not about time that Canadians WAKE UP and everyone declare a vote of NO CONFIDENCE against his entire political party?
Just like climate change. Bullshit destroying a once great nation.
It's amazing how leftists cancel anything they disagree with, I saw Sound Of Freedom yesterday in the cinema here in Ireland.
Very powerful film ,I went online afterwards to rate it on various film websites, no listing.
Any wonder Disney got away with blocking its own movie for five years.
No coverage in MSM either.
We struggle on!
Hmmm what happened the last time Germany and Japan couldn't get fuel…
In a rating of uneducated narcissist, there's Peterson and then a group well below him. Jordy's word salads are easy to laugh at even by middle school students.
Alotta of Trudeau cuks in the comments 😂
JBP should simply run for Trudeau’s job.
Why is Peterson pink????
I wish Dr Peterson was our Prime Minister
He articulated the problem, not so much on any solutions. So besides padding Dr Peterson’s ego, what does this accomplish?
Fascinating analysis as ever, for Canada see also USA and UK, people being conned on a huge scale, scary how many have no idea what is taking place in every walk of life on a daily basis.
Jordan left out that Trudeau's father was mass murderer CASTRO.
Alberta is the third reserve of fossil fuels in the world, but Trudeau lies?
Holy crap
Leave it to JP in the first 4 mins to provide some clarity on the question I struggle with the most regarding the left;
Evil/Stupid?
Left wing authoritarianism is female nature that is out of control. Right wing authoritarianism is male nature that is out of control. We live in such a feminized society its no wonder why we are seeing the rise of radical, far left, socialist (female collectivism) ideologies. A healthy society has a balanced mix of both with a slight lean in the direction of the male traits such as order, objective truth, structure, honor, accountability and equal application of the law. Our current society is one of willfull ignorance, subjectivism, collectivism and favoritism.
I could have told Peterson that Liberal was a mental disease years ago.
Why do the MSM have such young news reporters who have never experienced a war!
Canada and Australia went down hill so so fast during the p(l)andemic for people outside looking in.
❤ from the Netherlands
trudue is a lying hypocrite…
3 percent of the population is psychopatic. Well most revolutions or wars are fought by about 3% historically.
The Russian revolution, American revolution, etc for example.
He is 100% the son of Fidel Castro. 100%
He is a very dangerous man. Can't understand why the Canadians keep voting him in!
Canadian people who support the socialist agenda are the dumbest of sheep. They deserve exactly whatever hell their naivety brings about.
Eugenicists are the scariest demographic. A movement of materialist zealots who thinks they are gods, oddly devoid, in my estimation, of psychopaths even though the ethic is itself psychopathic.
"Niceness is fodder for psychopaths"
"Manipulations of snakes pulling in the useful idiots"
Obama- Liberal white women
I liked him a lot more when he just talked about mental health and mental wellness.
He’s a bright guy, no doubt, but he’s spreading himself very thin in terms of the topics he can speak expertly about
Jordan is not a narcissist. Somebody trying to take him down badly. He is just telling the truth.
It is categorically false that Trudeau has never spoken a true word. I believe he was being 100% honest with his stated admiration of the “basic Chinese dictatorship”
He is so freakin smart…
All is it said about Canada and its president is 100% aplicable to Spain. It is not about a narcisist and psycopat president, it is a procedure to acces and keep the goverment control.
did he lowkey said woke people are dumb? lmao
