    The Facts

    • The Supreme Court of Canada has denied psychologist Jordan Peterson review of a 2022 social media training order issued to him by the College of Psychologists of Ontario, which was brought over concerns regarding his online presence.

    • Peterson had been a registered psychologist since 1999 but had not seen patients since 2017. The College ruled that that Peterson's online statements had been "degrading, demeaning and unprofessional," and had a lower court dismiss his first appeal last summer.

    • Peterson, known as a public figure for his critiques of modern culture, had remarks he made regarding climate change, gender transition, and a former patient cited by the College in their decision. Peterson has said that these were not made in his capacity as a registered psychologist.
