Jordan Peterson, the popular and polarizing psychologist, is held in high esteem by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, who has twice appeared on Peterson’s podcast, which draws millions of listeners worldwide.
A Tyee investigation has found that Smith’s admiration for Peterson went well beyond her affinity for him as a fellow conservative culture warrior.
Documents obtained through freedom of information request show that Smith, and her chief of staff, Rob Anderson, directly intervened with Alberta’s Advanced Education Ministry in an attempt to help Peterson’s higher-education business venture.
On Aug. 1, 2024, Smith met with Peterson “to discuss how his organization can work with the province to have their online training platform accredited.”
Is this satire? It feels like satire but several of those things have actually happened.
I had to look it up because I wasn’t sure either but from what I read he was hospitalized back in October and that was a “spiritual attack” which may have just been pneumonia then hospitalized recently again claiming mould exposure and totally not pure beef and salt after getting out of the hospital previously.
To the best of my knowledge it is 100% factual and accurate. We haven’t gotten an update from the family in a couple months. He’s still in the hospital but we don’t know how it’s going, other than he is “facing a long road to recovery”
As a matter of pure speculation: I assume he will never recover, because he probably only accepts treatments from quacks who support his extreme elimination diet
So much schadenfreude, I need a cigarette.
