Jordan Peterson National Post, Jan. 4, 2022 “Every single accusation is not only independent of my clinical practice, but explicitly political — and not only that: unidirectionally explicitly political.” The practice of psychology in Ontario, and in many other North American and western jurisdictions, is subject to regulation by “professional colleges” — essentially governmental organizations […]

Neeraja Deshpande The Free Press, Jan. 6, 2023 “The college’s statement, then, is not a message to Peterson, but a message to other would-be dissenters: Comply with our politics, or risk losing your livelihood.” Have you seen the “men will literally do X instead of going to therapy” meme? It’s funny: Men will literally join […]
Howard Levitt Financial Post, Jan. 6, 2023 “Given that the college had the temerity to take on a person with such public support, one can only imagine how many psychologists with the wrong political opinions it has previously cowed into submission.” Given how hard Jordan Peterson has worked (and continues to work), it is difficult […]
Conrad Black National Post, Jan. 7, 2023 “I will leave it to others to determine the extent to which Justin Trudeau is responsible for this repressive and ignorant climate and the totalitarian muzzling and stifling of dissent in places that have traditionally been among society’s most reliable centres of independent policy discussion — universities and learned […]

Yonatan Green The Times of Israel, Jan. 8, 2023 “Far from purely partisan or self-serving, genuine criticism of these flaws has been consistent (and consistently growing) since the 1980s and has been forcefully advanced by some of Israel’s leading legal scholars.” Anyone following the news in Israel can hardly avoid the frenzied – yet predictable […]
JNS Reporter Zenger, Jan. 6, 2023 “Recent opinion polls by the Israel Democracy Institute found a majority of respondents believe the Supreme Court should have the power to strike down laws that conflict with Israel’s Basic Laws, which serve as a sort of constitution.” Israeli Justice Minister Yariv Levin announced on Wednesday a far-reaching […]
Guy Lurie Jerusalem Post, Dec. 19, 2022 “While the Knesset has the authority to change the procedures for appointing judges with even a small majority, in order to gain full legitimacy, any changes to the constitutional arrangements in this area should be made only on the basis of broad consensus among the public at […]
Russell Avraham Shalev Jerusalem Post, Dec. 25, 2022 “Canada has many checks on its Supreme Court, which do not exist in Israel.” There are many important differences between Israel and Canada.

Lee Smith Tablet, Jan. 5, 2022 “The FBI’s penetration of Twitter constituted just one part of a much larger intelligence operation—one in which the bureau offshored the machinery it used to interfere in the 2016 election and embedded it within the private sector.” After journalist Matt Taibbi published the first batch of internal Twitter […]
Paul Sperry, Real Clear Investigations, Dec. 20, 2022 ______________________________ The FBI relied more extensively on Christopher Steele’s debunked dossier in their Russiagate investigation than has been revealed, inserting key parts from it into their applications for warrants to spy on the 2016 Trump campaign. Agents did this without telling the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance […]
