LILLEY UNLEASHED: Enemies of free speech targeting Dr. Jordan Peterson once again

Sun political columnist Brian Lilley explains that while many might disagree with psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson, he should be allowed to speak freely.

Several groups in Ottawa have banded together in an effort to silence him.

Freedom to say what you think is the right of every Canadian! Wef is backing Trudeau. Klaus wants control of Canadian minds. Keep fighting, Peterson! You are the champion for us all.

[whiskeytango]

I support JP's right to say anything that I might disagree with.

[jacquelinehart]

Even if you don't like what he says, he should still be allowed to say it.

[johnhess]

These people are disgusting.
We need to let them know how disgusted we are.

[jacquelinehart]

Some people just can't stand to hear the Truth.

Unbelievable 😡Jordan Peterson has the right to speak and shame on the Canadians who are trying to stop him from his freedom of speech

[junebrwn]

I bought both of his books and gave his first one as a gift to two of my children. Shame on those radical groups who think he should be banned from speaking. I wish somebody would ban a few of them because I find their "pronouns" and binary stuff offensive but I don't try to stop them. I just ignore them and use the pronouns I know are real.

The reaction to censor him is from fear of what he is saying has validity.

Thank you for covering this Mr. Lilley. Dr. Peterson has helped so many. He is not racist, misogynist…………Regardless, we should never allow any govt or group to deny free speech. Free speech is the cornerstone of democracy.

Isn't it amazing that anyone who simply refuses to buy into woke, progressive nonsense is labelled "far right"?

[danielasmale]

This is not the Canada I knew and loved. That this is even happening, shows the horrible state of our Country is in.

[thisspacenotforrent]

I just bought Jordan Peterson's book, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos, because of all this nonsense against him...

[randall]

Brian, another great piece of journalism... Peterson is actually a Liberal! I stand against censorship and anything that violates our charter of rights, especially free speech, If we give away our right to free speech, we fall into communism.

[CCats]

It amazes me what power and influence such a small community can have, look what they've done to the Philadelphia Flyers. Do not cower to these people.

[ivansultanoff]

Jordan must be supported and ALLOWED to speak whether you agree or not =free speech

[lanafateeva]

We stand together with Dr. Peterson!!! Hands off him! Freedom of speech - is a fundamental right of a person.

[mikef]

Well done Brian for bringing this to light. Dr. Peterson is one of the greatest thinkers of our time and should be considered a national treasure, He's helped so many people both through his practice and books. Something we can't say about the PM

[khazdor]

If Dr. Peterson is not allowed to speak, then we should BAN Trudeau from any Speaking engagements, since over 50% of Canadians find him Offensive.

[heatherjones]

I hope the Canadian Tire centre allows Dr. Peterson to have his booking.
