The CPO clearly disagrees.
The fact that Peterson basically gave the CPO investigators the middle finger and told them that he was not going to waste his time responding to these complaints probably didn’t help him, either.
Peterson’s arrogance always winds up getting him into trouble…but it simultaneously fuels him to be this way. Just like he insisted on having himself put into a medically induced coma to treat his barbiturate addiction- no reputable physician in North America would do it because it would be malpractice so he goes to some “clinic” in Eastern Europe to have this done. Like seriously…the man takes everything to it’s most extreme.
That's my point... there is a lot to disagree about when there is no way of clearly deciding what is true. Malpractice is defined by a group of people who believe there is a right way, professional standards are agreed upon by a group of people, regardless of who decides what is right, it doesn't mean that it's right, just that it's agreed upon, That's why we have concepts like academic freedom and the freedom of speech, just because one groups beliefs are hegemonic doesn't mean they are right or true, hence controversy, debate and dialogue may lead to a better set of beliefs. Until someone then challenge's those beliefs and perhaps a new paradigm establishes itself. Sanctioning and silencing someone for their beliefs prevents or delays this from happening at worst and can lead to horrendous violence. Today's belief will one day be viewed as wrong-headed, superstitious or another example of group hysteria. A little humbleness on the part of everyone might lead to a better outcome. I'm no friend of any group that believes they know what is true, especially when it comes to human affairs. If you don't believe me, then read some of the books that Peterson suggests or speak to people who have lived in countries that have repressive or authoritarian regimes.
Personally, I've had my fill of interacting with fanatics who will forcefully assert all manner of nonsense and then try to force me into believing that 2+2=5
Believe what you want to believe but allow me to believe what I want to believe and lets agree to disagree if that's the best we can do.
