Trump has a habit of saying a lot of things not because that's what he wants, but to use as a bargaining chip to get what he really wants. Last time in office he used it as a threat to get Nato members to pay the full 2% of GDP that they were committed to paying. Now they're discussing raising it well above 2%. Why would someone who wanted out of Nato coerce/shame other members into paying their fair share. You tell me. Quote

Well above 2% GDP for all NATO countries is ridiculous. The writing is on the wall, and NATO allies are better prepared to deal with belligerent nations (I.e. Russia) without the United States.

I respected his point of view when the controversy around the proposed legislation came up. He did recant at the House of Commons committee, and then later traded in his potential role as a sober intellectual leader for the top hat and red blazer of the circus Master in the culture war circus. He's a contemptible p!ss aunt. He has gone too far down whatever rabbit-hole he's chosen. A victim of either 1. fame, 2. wealth, 3. the bitterness/anger caused by millions of people constantly attacking you and trying to destroy you. Probably a combo of all 3. However, I do very much admire the courage of his convictions. If you shared his beliefs would you speak out about them in your workplace? I wouldn't. Maybe he had the protection of tenure. But his personal and professional relationships would have been affected as well. Like posting an unpopular opinion on Facebook x100. People don't like the cultural hegemony challenged, as the leftists likes to say. 😉 They've gone after him through his professional association membership because that's the only place they can silence him. "They" being random people on the internet lodging the complaints, not his actual clients or students. Like it or not, and for better or worse, America is the last bastion for freedom in the western world. Liberty has costs and they pay for it in blood (including COVID deaths).

Like it or not, and for better or worse, America is the last bastion for freedom in the western world. Liberty has costs and they pay for it in blood (including COVID deaths). 1. I don't share my beliefs in my workplace now, and in corporate you actually rarely do - even if they're centrist. I guess the point you're making is that academia has leftist groupthink. Maybe so. For Peterson, though, it's a very unique case that goes beyond his ideas, which themselves are sometimes bonkers and ill-founded. 2. "They" also doesn't mean the professional association that has to respond to complaints and assess them. Why his professional association even matters to him is beyond me. He abandoned therapy long ago to star in the circus. I rather suspect that being challenged on his therapist credentials is better for him professionally than not. 3. If you define 'Freedom' as being a cultural space where a body of public figures criticize and taunt trans people and are cheered on, then maybe. If you want to get an education and improve yourself from poverty, if you want to have a baby without paying out of pocket, if you want walk around your city and not get mugged... maybe not so much. I'm just saying that "Freedom" is a philosophical concept and a personal parameter that allows people to climb Maslow's hierarchy of needs, not simply the right to mouth off. And as for the second matter, I'm pretty sure you can get in the same trouble in the US as in Canada in certain quarters. ------------- But really this post is about our longstanding differences on the value of Peterson as a public figure. I'm biased against him as I thought he was going to be a unifying figure and was hugely disappointed in the circus act. Quote Click to learn why Climate Change is caused by HUMANS Michael Hardner

They could go further south, but it's not necessary because Florida, California and other states are warm enough. It just gets too hot if you mouth south of there. They can't go any further north than Alaska, and who'd want to? They can't go to a place with better universities, bigger cities, more sporting events/cultural events, or more or better anything. When Canadians want to leave Canada there are hundreds of better places to go. The sun is up for 8 hrs a day here in winter in Langley and even then it's usually cloudy or raining. Right now it's cloudy, raining, and really windy, and it's also only 7 degrees Celsius. Not even ducks like this weather. They all f'd off months ago. It couldn't possibly be any uglier out there. Gimme -10 with 2 feet of snow on the ground and some sunshine any day over this crap. Better yet... Costa Rica, Florida, Greece, Croatia, Cancun... I'm happy for Canadians who fly the coop. Especially with Wonderdunce leading the country.

It was a heroic sacrifice don't you think? How many more Canadian deaths would saving a few Bouncy Castles be worth? Somewhere between 1300 and 3300 deaths per million or even more?
