It seems that no one has yet stepped forward to re-educate Jordan B. Peterson.1 That’s not to say it won’t happen in time, because the Ontario Court of Appeal and then later, the Supreme Court of Canada (August 8, 2024) both endorsed mandatory re-education in Canada. Such is truly beyond comprehension! That’s the bad news — how far our “authorities” have fallen into authoritarianism.
But the good news is: It seems that fear of negative publicity, blow-back, or shame has kept the re-ed “experts” from surfacing. We may be at a tipping point between tyranny and liberty, but we have not yet fully tipped. Mandatory re-ed has been endorsed, but is not yet widespread. So let us remember the warning of John Basil Barnhill, the “noted anti-socialist writer, editor, politician, and debater during the first quarter of the 20th century.”2
"Where the people fear the government you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you have liberty."And what is it “authorities” should fear? They should fear choosing reward over integrity; ideology over truth; corruption / coercion over honesty; ego over selfless service. They should fear exposure and consequence.
The good news also is: We Canadians are still free enough to give the “authorities” a little of their own re-ed medicine — not mandatory, but by invitation.3 Write, speak, suggest, blog about liberty, rights, freedoms, and history. Be grateful for the good “authorities” sometimes do, but forever expose and penalize the evil.
If we are to save Canada, those authorities who have been captured by the motivations of Reward, Ideology, Corruption / Coercion, or Ego must be brought to justice and consequence.
