George Orwell is often credited with saying, "The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it." If this is true of anyone in our time, it is Professor Jordan Peterson of the University of Toronto.
In late-September of 2016, Professor Peterson
took to YouTube to criticize the infamous Bill C-16, the legislation surrounding which made the use of non-binary preferred pronouns mandatory and criminalized 'misgendering' of those who identified as non-binary. The videos received widespread attention from both sides of the political spectrum, ignited
a series of protests on the University of Toronto campus, demanding that Peterson be fired from his teaching position.
However, the videos also garnered international attention for Peterson, who is now seen as a free speech fundamentalist and an outspoken critic of cultural Marxism and postmodernism. Peterson's YouTube videos have gone viral, with many posting testimonials of how his lectures have changed their lives. Peterson has been invited on various TV networks, participated in debates and dialogues, and has given lectures on various university campuses. Some of his events were interrupted by protesters (including
this one at McMaster University, where he was disrupted with chants of 'transphobic piece of s**t'), and at least one event that was supposed to be held at Ryerson University
was shut down by local socialist groups.
