Top court nixes Jordan Peterson’s appeal of professional college’s remedial orders

OTTAWA — Canada’s top court has closed the door on Jordan Peterson’s legal fight against an order that he enter a remedial coaching program.

The author and University of Toronto professor has not had an active clinical practice since 2017 but remains a member of the College of Psychologists of Ontario.

In 2022, the professional body reviewed Peterson’s social-media conduct after hearing concerns about whether his posts met its standards.

It determined that online comments appeared degrading, demeaning and unprofessional — and that this posed a risk to the public.
