Peterson speaks common sense

The rules according to Jordan Peterson, Jan. 20.

Thank you for publishing the Christie Blatchford Q&A with “warrior for common sense” Jordan Peterson and an excerpt for Jordan Peterson’s new book, 12 Rules for Life: Do Not Let Your Children Do Anything That Makes You Dislike Them. It is nice to have a media report on Peterson that is not bordering on hysterics.

The visceral reaction to Peterson causes me to fear for the future of Canada. As little as a decade ago, and certainly no more than 30 years ago, what Peterson says would have been considered common sense, and the way he says it would have been common public discourse. How dysfunctional we have become.
