Canada went from a polite society to a tyrannical government in like a gestation period.

[@michiel5160]

A couple years ago they were already arguing about gender pronouns. It has been a while.

[@standinginthecrowd5220]

Calling Canada Tyrannical is a vast exaggeration. If you want Tyranny, check out Syria, China, or even Russia (who oddly enough many people on the right support).

[@iReturnV1deotapes]

The politeness is what got us in this situation to begin with.

[@iReturnV1deotapes]

@@standinginthecrowd5220 Trudeau has broken the charter, stolen rights and freedoms, frozen bank accounts without warrants, and has spent billions of tax dollars on personal leisure. That is the DEFINITION of a tyrant. That is ONLY the kind of behavior you would see in places like Cuba, China, North Korea, etc. Just because its happening in a "white country" doesn't change that.

[@tommcd8471]

@@standinginthecrowd5220 Just because its not a despotic authortian government(yet) doesn't mean the snowball isn't rolling down that hill and picking up speed very quickly. The price of freedom was the blood of our grandfathers, and continuous vigilance. People like yourself who point to the situation being worse elsewhere and saying "see we're not that bad" are as dangerous as the politicians stifling free speech and labeling anyone who remotely disagrees with them as an extremist. We're not supposed to be "not as bad" as China, Syria, etc. We are supposed to be one of the best examples of freedom in the world, and we're not.

Unfortunately, most people like you don't fully realize the connection between your political views and what's now happening to your country.

[@mr.m4n446]

A pleasure to be one of Dr. Saad's 'students' for 6 Minutes and 10 seconds. Great interview.

[@RN1441]

JBP said that part of the reason he left his position was the understanding that in the current intellectual climate that doesn't tolerate dissent from orthodoxy, and punished guilt by association, he understood that any students he took on would probably be blackballed from academia. In part he stated it was an ethical consideration that he didn't want to damage the career prospects of the bright students he might supervise.

[@TheZooBrooksAB]

Yet, at the same time, recognizing that academia is so terribly problematic.....he wil still stand idly by as those "bright students" get indoctrinated. Yeah, ok. If what you say about Peterson is true, then that makes him cowardly .

That would go against pretty much everything he pontificates.

[@thomvogan3397]

If your country has descended to a point where you are thinking of leaving it, isn't that more reason to stay and fight ? In Canada our voices of sanity are all bailing out, leaving fewer to take up the slack. Not every Canadian is fortunate enough to be able to move to Florida, as a matter of fact, most aren't. Each loss of one of our prominent thinkers only serves to demoralize those left behind, like seeing your soldiers flee the battlefield. Perhaps this is just sour grapes on my part, the bitter ramblings of one left behind. May God watch over us all

Canada under tyranny! It's a sad state (literally and not a funny pun).

[@bob___]

Gad Saad's comments remind me that the system of education based on four-year residential college simply isn't adequate for the needs of our society. Four-year residential colleges are extremely resource-intensive, and, because of that, they are too expensive to play the role of social equalizer which many people seem to attribute to college education. The four-year educational college originated as a means of preparing aristocrats for adulthood, and that history is one of the reasons these institutions are structurally too expensive, and are otherwise unsuited, to play the role of social equalizer. It would be more economically efficient to move from the current model, in which completion of a certified program of study identifies a person as sufficiently prepared to enter a certain social role, to a model in which passing a set of certified exams identifies a person as prepared. If the exams (as opposed to the program of study) are certified, there would not be a need to require those who sit for the exams to have completed expensive courses of study. There would, of course, be no reason to bar a person enrolled in a traditional four-year residential college from taking such exams, but a person engaged in self-study or enrolled in an uncertified program should have the same right to sit for the exams and, if the exams are passed, to be acknowledged as certified in a manner comparable to one who has completed a traditional four-year residential college program. Such a system would be more fair for intelligent people with limited access to resources, and most people would see that as a good way to achieve better social equality.
