To play devil's advocate I guess teachers are kept to such a high standard as well. If these professions represent the industry do they have responsibility to how they present themselves? Kind of like a company sponsored person who says things the company doesn't want to align with
I’m an attorney, and I recently got into a heated debate with a bunch of immigration lawyers who argued that any immigration lawyer who supported Trump should be disbarred.
It was actually quite scary to see how a bunch of legal “professionals” all can take such a hate filled, unapologetic stance against their colleagues and makes me wonder how this same line of thought can carry its way into governing bodies (the Bar Association).
JP is the GOAT
I am Loving the Beard!
You two look amazing. Keep up the great work. just… yeah…. much love… that's all
"Supposedly free " the West is done!!!
Krystal had no opinion on this?? I’m shocked that she didn’t criticize the left 😅😊😂!
Sagaar doesn't know anything about the Canada politics and the "freedom caravane" was just a far far right movement,
The more our institutions lose our trust the closer they get to big corporations!
Is there anyone still out there who wants to leave this country and run to Canada?
Considering doctor assisted suicide is legal in Canada, no crime has been committed by suggesting you can call your doctor to get the process started. Kind of funny that it's frowned upon to suggest it, but legal to actually help someone do it.
For the Peterson Shoe Shine Crew…

I absolutely hate Peterson, however I think this is the most rediculous and insane abuse of control over a person and their free speech than I've seen in a long time, and I think this type of forced censorship is uncalled for. I do also fully agree with jordans viewpoints on Trudeau.
The Canadian government has always been wack, I guess we have been only seeing it the last couple of years
I'm not digging the color grading. It looks good, but creates a vinere between us and K&S. Would prefer the much more minimalistic, original approach.
Anybody that's board certified across any industry has to abide by their rules. This is nothing new.
Jordan "Weepy" Peterson needs to go. I'd support what is being done to him if the reasons sighted for why they are doing it wasn't so questionable.
Seriously, they guy is a really weird and kooky far right type.
peterson should start a go fund me for lawyers fee and sue them …
BEARDED SAGAAR
This brings to mind the biographies of Copernicus and Galileo.

Thank you Sagaar for reporting on the insane COVID response.
Peterson is one of the greatest thinkers of our time. Freedom of speech must be retained at all cost.
The certification of many fields are governed by an association of professionals within that field.
Much like when someone gets fired for doing something that makes the company look bad, these associations have a responsibility to the peers in their field to protect the reputation of their profession. If they deem the actions of an individual reflects poorly on their field, then they can recommend corrective action. At that point it is Peterson's choice, he can accept the sanction, he can choose to challenge it, or he can choose to forgo his certification.
Peterson wants to have his cake and eat it too. He wants the freedom to say and do whatever he likes without constraint, but he wants to say and do those things with the prestige of having Dr. at the front of his name as authorized by his peers. His peers have now told him that he no longer has that luxury
Every time you guys cover a Canadian issue you miss the mark. Makes me wonder if you are just as bad for U.S. stories.
Freedom of speech means you can't face legal punishment for something you say. That's it. Peterson is facing consequences from his profession's governing body.
Jordan Peterson's licence is issued by the Ontario College of Psychologists, they have the authority to revoke the licence of anyone that has violated their rules of conduct because they are a self regulated entity. They have certain requirements of their members' public conduct, because it appears unprofessional, and reflects badly on the college and profession as a whole.
To say Peterson has behaved unprofessionally on social media is an understatement. Anything he disagrees with about their decision can and should be appealed internally.
If Peterson cares about keeping his licence, he will take the course and follow their rules. He obviously won't though. He will lose it purposely and then make a video where he cries about his free speech being denied, because he is a grifter.
Saagar needs to take his beard and go solo. This thing is dead.
Krystal is so jealous of Canada that the US is not doing this.
Um, it's already worse in the USA. JP won't be harmed and indeed will profit from the publicity from this unfair treatment. How many educators lost their livelihoods due to Don't Say Gay in FL?
This is insane. At the same time, since canadians always looking down on US and our way of life… im just soaking it in for a moment. This might not happen again.
The “close” comment works both ways
Jordan Peterson is a n_tcase and ought to be totally ignored. He keeps shopping around for a nitch topic that he can exploit.
Canada may have slightly more restrictive speech and way more restrictive gun ownership but on the whole, we rank quite high on the freedom index compared to our friends from the south
I don't understand what all the fuss is about. Didn't all of this happen in a country in which the head of state is a king?
They're going to come after him. I work with psych patients, and everyone should go after Peterson. I believe he cares about the issues he talks about, but he's a massive risk in all kinds of ways. Think about it: psych and pop culture together are already a recipe for disaster.
Listened to the whole vid. I see where Saagar is coming from and don't really even disagree, but as is often the case: Saagar is out of his depth. Psych is one of those things that is too amorphous to not be scrutinized from both sides. It should be known Peterson is not representative of science just because he sometimes is. Psych is too complex and too misunderstood/new. Still.
The only reson Canadians believe they are free is because they have no clue on what it means… and the US is rapidly forgetting it.
Jordan Peterson, government wants him to go to re- education government speech training or they'll take his licenses as a health care practitioner he spend years to get, this is an all out war against free western straight men, that doesn't want the gay, feminist, Marxist agenda on us they want us docile and passive. We are all in danger.
Why is Breaking Points running defense for Jordan Petersons image? He is a vile disgusting piece of human excrement. This is the kind of segment subject matter that does a lot of damage to your channels credibility. Also the little wrap up was pretty transphobic. Gender is just like human sexuality well within the realm of Psychology. Homosexuality used to be viewed as a mental disorder technically but now its clearly recognized to just be a facet of the human condition and accepted. Trans people deserve that same right, trans rights are human rights. Your channel purports to be above the norms of the mainstream media narrative but you don't seem to actually walk that line when it comes down to your content. Highly disappointed in this segment and Saagers blatant trans-phobic rhetoric. The man clearly has a lot of growing up to do. And Krystals sheer disdain is palpable when the camera cuts to her face after Saagers tirade. Just a shame. I think she would do better financially and viewership wise if she left the show to do her own thing.
EDIT: And just today Peterson is tweeting in defense of Andrew Tate after his arrest in Romania for Sex Trafficking and Rape, its no surprise that Jordans license is being called into question.
Jordan Peterson needs to gtf away
How exactly is Peterson cringe?
When will these people learn, JBP is an idiot and censorship of him is like placing a nail gun against your palm.
If they actually wanted to revoke his license they should just be talking about his anti science views on trans issues, not Policy issues.
On the, it happened in Canada, so it could happen in the U.S…. The Canadian Charter — quite to its shame — allows for "reasonable limits" on freedom of speech, which is not the case for the 1st Amendment, in which the prohibition against abridging freedom of expression is unqualified… Of course, with the Twitter Files, one is appalled at how effective the powers that be have been at bypassing the letter of the law…
Keep the beard Saagar 👌👍
I guarantee Krystal agrees with the Canadian establishment she’s the definition of a establishment shill
