The comments on that article are... something.

125,000 Canadians move to the US each year for a better life - our best people! My neighbour moved to Texas in December and wished she'd made the move a long time ago. There's bigger everything - larger homes, larger pay, better disposable incomes, more vibrancy, better weather and better people

As usual I'll provide an example of why the Postmedia is a joke.

Article titled:

Indigenous leaders call for cancellation of Kneecap concerts over alleged support for Hamas, Hezbollah

The indigenous people in question:

The signatories are largely involved with Indigenous Embassy Jerusalem, an international group of Indigenous people from various countries that expresses Indigenous solidarity with Israel.

Wow, the national post referring to Jordan Peterson as a best selling author and psychologist who is sooo busy touring, implying he's somehow an upstanding citizen is creepy as hell.

Someone should buy it and turn it into a queer youth hub and support centre

Make sure they respect ALL the pronouns. In fact I'd like to see a plaque listing them on the front of the house itself along with a land acknowledgement and giant permanent Pride flag. And a vegan on site cafe.

Good riddance. Sadly the internet knows no boundaries, but it's a start at least.

Just like Trump is a poor man's version of a rich person, Peterson's a dumb man's version of an intellectual.

Are you somehow implying that using the biggest words in the english language constantly and still not being able to back up or argue for a single thing that's ever left your mouth makes you an idiot?

ICE can send him to that shiny new concentration camp and keep him there. Or maybe he'll be lucky enough to be made stateless by sending him to an unfortunate African country. Peterson has done so much harm to the LGBTQ+ community and young men that he deserves no less.

Oooh, then we could refuse him entry and leave him in limbo.

Good riddance.

Jordan Peterson started out as a talented and charismatic academic that gave advice to young people who wanted to improve their life ("clean your room" "Spend time reading books" "don't be hard on yourself").

He slowly turned into a millionaire guru. He now praises pseudo-science, snake oil salesmen and unscrupulous politicians. He is also a self-hating Canadian.

20

Characterizing Peterson as a "talented and charismatic academic"?? I don't know, maybe he was before anyone knew of him, but he certainly hasn't been that in the public eye.

Jordan Peterson became a well-known figure after publishing a series of Youtube videos about his opposition to Bill C-16, where he argued that respecting people's pronouns is an affront to his free speech. He's been a hack, a grifter, and an asshole since day one.

No thanks. You'd never be able to get the smell of keto-farts, lobsters, bullshit and pompous righteous self-indignation out.

I _love_ the fact that he no longer has an audience here and the only ones who platform him are alt-right nutbar MAGA channels.

Isn't it hilarious how he's pretending to be a cowboy all over rural Alberta right now so he doesn't have to get a job?

What’s worse is that rural Alberta smoothbrains will vote that assclown in. Instead of someone actually from that riding, like Bonnie Critchely.

Well the comments on his Facebook posts are absolutely roasting the shit out of him and are so hilarious, if nothing else.

Amazing. Am not on fb though so I can’t laugh along.

It’s an utterly hideous McMansion riddled with neoclassical embellishments that don’t make architectural sense, isn’t it?

That is totally unfair. I think there should be a fair trade of my wife and I going to live in his condo in toronto and he can have my one in the US. Because like im willing to make the sacrifice and I called it so no other us person has to sacrifice because dibs and all.

I support this but I wouldn't want you to have to live in a house he lived in. It must be crawling with filth.

It's overrated. Hamilton is better, and you could become RL friends with me.

Im a city boy and have to be close to a nice metro system and if I won the lottery I would be in a highrise over the farm or palatial estate fantasy.

3

Yeah I guess I mean big city boy. Gotta have a metro so like all sorts of large places like in texas and florida and whatever won't cut the mustard for me. Ugh and honestly if they don't run often enough thats no good to. Like I was so disappointed when I went to DC.

Jordan is likely Russian asset

The 53-year-old Tesla and SpaceX CEO told Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson in an interview last July that the decision to build a supercomputer in Memphis evoked references, at least in part, to the Memphis of ancient Egypt and its pantheon of gods.

“Perhaps that’s where our new god will come from,” Musk said.
