Jordan Peterson moves to US over bill that could turn Canada into 'totalitarian hellhole'

Jordan Peterson, a prominent Canadian psychologist and author, has relocated to the United States, citing concerns over a proposed Canadian bill, Bill C-63, which he fears could transform Canada into a "totalitarian hellhole." This bill, introduced by Justice Minister Arif Virani, aims to combat online hate speech by amending the Canadian Human Rights Act to include online hate speech as a form of discrimination. Critics, including Peterson, argue that the bill's vague definitions of hate speech could lead to government overreach, potentially criminalizing speech that might be deemed offensive or hateful. Peterson has expressed his apprehension that this legislation could result in severe penalties, including life imprisonment for promoting genocide, and fines for lesser offenses, which he believes could stifle free speech and lead to authoritarian control over what can be said online. His move to the U.S. reflects his deep concerns about the future of free expression in Canada under this new legislative framework.
