Jordan Peterson Relocates to U.S., Citing Discontent with Canadian Policies

The psychologist and author criticized Canada's proposed hate speech bill and professional licensing body as reasons for his move.

Jordan Peterson announced his move to the U.S., citing dissatisfaction with Canada's political climate and governance under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
He expressed concerns over Bill C-63, the Online Harms Act, which he believes could suppress free speech and lead to a 'totalitarian' environment.
The Canadian government recently decided to split Bill C-63 into two separate pieces of legislation to address free speech concerns while advancing child protection measures.
Peterson has been in an ongoing dispute with the College of Psychologists of Ontario, which mandated social media retraining for him due to complaints about his online conduct.
The move also allows Peterson to be closer to his daughter in Arizona, with the psychologist citing the warmer climate as an additional benefit.
