The Jordan Peterson Lecture: Music and Meaning

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson is a clinical psychologist who is now on a tour promoting his newest book “Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life.” I had the chance to see one of his lectures on this tour, and discuss some of the overarching precepts and how they relate to the power of music and…


Trigger Warnings Take Our Wits Away

Commentary “The protesters falsely claimed that vaccines do not work.” So stated the reporter on last night’s TV news. In case you hadn’t noticed, I’m homing in on that little weasel word “falsely.” Without it, the sentence would have read well enough—the protesters made a claim, which might be right or wrong. But to seed…


Why Jordan Peterson Quit Academia

Commentary Woke supremacy has been taking a toll on Western civilization. The casualties of wokeness are too many and sundry to track. But we should not forget that wokeness was first germinated in higher education, from whence it metastasized to the wider social body. The academy is the cathedral pulpit from which the ideological dictates of the elite…


Rex Murphy: How the ‘Cancel Culture’ Mob’s Attempt to Silence Jordan Peterson Backfired

Commentary Cancel culture is a misnomer for the ages. If it is anything, it is first surely not a culture, but its very opposite and antithesis. An anti-culture, or a movement to suffocate and injure real culture. Like many other pernicious practices, it comes out of the horrid womb of woke politics. Its mode of…


Woke Ideology Mimics Precursors to Totalitarian Slaughter, Experts Say

Some of the core tenets of the “woke” ideology spreading around the country mimic ideas used to justify many of the most horrendous atrocities of the past century, according to several experts as well as a recent documentary exploring the topic. The documentary, called “Better Left Unsaid,” concludes that the self-identified “radical left” endorses “four…


Pronouns, Free Speech, and The Advocate

Commentary The B.C. Law Society’s trade journal, The Advocate, is caught in the jaws of a disagreement between transgender advocates and court authorities, and those who favour traditional pronouns. At stake is The Advocate’s integrity as a forum of free discussion. The journal had planned to publish competing viewpoints about a recent change in court procedure concerning…


On Jordan Peterson and Filling the Void

Commentary Jordan Peterson occupies a unique place in the cultural sphere. Grounded in the small Alberta town of his upbringing, the University of Toronto professor of clinical psychology has been elevated to the status of Canada’s foremost public intellectual. An almost mythic figure to some, Peterson is a pariah to others. For those who worship…

Mikhaila Peterson, the daughter of best selling author, professor, and clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson, shared her insights on how she helped her dad build his media empire, reaching out to millions of people seeking to improve and reorganize their lives. “I had made social media channels for him in 2013 on Facebook and in 2017…


Cancel Culture Goes Down Rabbit Hole of Absurdity

Commentary The woke and cancel culture is plumbing new depths of absurdity and injustice every week. By my casual count the New York Times, for years the most prestigious and constant media defender of liberal American values, has conducted four professional lynchings in its own ranks. Donald McNeil, Andrew Mills, James Bennet, and Allison Roman…


Why Jordan Peterson’s Home Is Decorated With Soviet Propaganda Art

Whenever I visit the home of a friend or acquaintance, I make a point of looking at two things. One of them is their library. One can learn a great deal about someone simply by checking out the books on their shelves, I’ve found. Are they filled with books on how to make money or…
