As usual I'll provide an example of why the Postmedia is a joke.

Article titled:

Indigenous leaders call for cancellation of Kneecap concerts over alleged support for Hamas, Hezbollah

https://archive.ph/hRUbh

The indigenous people in question:

The signatories are largely involved with Indigenous Embassy Jerusalem, an international group of Indigenous people from various countries that expresses Indigenous solidarity with Israel.

The comments on that article are... something.

125,000 Canadians move to the US each year for a better life - our best people! My neighbour moved to Texas in December and wished she'd made the move a long time ago. There's bigger everything - larger homes, larger pay, better disposable incomes, more vibrancy, better weather and better people

[–] CeeBee_Eh@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

better weather

Uhhh... I guess someone hasn't been reading the news

[–] Kyle@lemmy.ca 87 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Wow, the national post referring to Jordan Peterson as a best selling author and psychologist who is sooo busy touring, implying he's somehow an upstanding citizen is creepy as hell.

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 37 points 2 days ago

It’s the National Post, I would expect nothing less.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 days ago

The national post polishes a scam artist.

[–] original_charles@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

They're desperately trying to pawn him off.

[–] Luci@lemmy.ca 49 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Someone should buy it and turn it into a queer youth hub and support centre

[–] GrackleBirb@lemmy.ca 24 points 2 days ago

Make sure they respect ALL the pronouns. In fact I'd like to see a plaque listing them on the front of the house itself along with a land acknowledgement and giant permanent Pride flag. And a vegan on site cafe.

[–] Mjpasta710@midwest.social 5 points 2 days ago

Make it unprofitable to sell.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

A library about the history of transgender people.

[–] Luci@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago

Oooooooooo I like this!!!

[–] MyMotherIsAHamster@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 days ago

Don't let the door hit you on your ignorant, intolerant ass on the way out 😀

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Everyone get out your crab rave memes.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It’s an utterly hideous McMansion riddled with neoclassical embellishments that don’t make architectural sense, isn’t it?

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

It sure is.

[–] DwZ@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

Good riddance.

Jordan Peterson started out as a talented and charismatic academic that gave advice to young people who wanted to improve their life ("clean your room" "Spend time reading books" "don't be hard on yourself").

He slowly turned into a millionaire guru. He now praises pseudo-science, snake oil salesmen and unscrupulous politicians. He is also a self-hating Canadian.

[–] Evkob@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 days ago

Characterizing Peterson as a "talented and charismatic academic"?? I don't know, maybe he was before anyone knew of him, but he certainly hasn't been that in the public eye.

Jordan Peterson became a well-known figure after publishing a series of Youtube videos about his opposition to Bill C-16, where he argued that respecting people's pronouns is an affront to his free speech. He's been a hack, a grifter, and an asshole since day one.

Isn't it hilarious how he's pretending to be a cowboy all over rural Alberta right now so he doesn't have to get a job?

[–] CircaV@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What’s worse is that rural Alberta smoothbrains will vote that assclown in. Instead of someone actually from that riding, like Bonnie Critchely.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well the comments on his Facebook posts are absolutely roasting the shit out of him and are so hilarious, if nothing else.

[–] CircaV@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

Amazing. Am not on fb though so I can’t laugh along.

[–] st3ph3n@midwest.social 22 points 2 days ago (5 children)

It'd be hilarious if ICE deported him back to Canada.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

Noooooo i don't want him back

[–] Canadian_anarchist@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

ICE can send him to that shiny new concentration camp and keep him there. Or maybe he'll be lucky enough to be made stateless by sending him to an unfortunate African country. Peterson has done so much harm to the LGBTQ+ community and young men that he deserves no less.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

I mean not for us but in general yes haha.

[–] nyan@lemmy.cafe 3 points 2 days ago

Oooh, then we could refuse him entry and leave him in limbo.

Good riddance. Sadly the internet knows no boundaries, but it's a start at least.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I hope people are starting to realize what a dork assed loser he is.

[–] ZC3rr0r@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Just like Trump is a poor man's version of a rich person, Peterson's a dumb man's version of an intellectual.

[–] vinceman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Are you somehow implying that using the biggest words in the english language constantly and still not being able to back up or argue for a single thing that's ever left your mouth makes you an idiot?

[–] faxed@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 days ago

fuck look how rich you can get being a hate monger. he has dumped piles of cash into that place. cash he got by bigotting all over the place.

can someone book a tour and piss in his closet?

[–] tezoatlipoca@mas.to 13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

@BonesOfTheMoon

No thanks. You'd never be able to get the smell of keto-farts, lobsters, bullshit and pompous righteous self-indignation out.

I _love_ the fact that he no longer has an audience here and the only ones who platform him are alt-right nutbar MAGA channels.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Same. Good riddance to bad rubbish as they say.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 11 points 2 days ago (6 children)

That is totally unfair. I think there should be a fair trade of my wife and I going to live in his condo in toronto and he can have my one in the US. Because like im willing to make the sacrifice and I called it so no other us person has to sacrifice because dibs and all.

In Kermit the frog's voice: You have to define what is "up", what is "for", what is "sale"? It's not bloody obvious what these terms mean. This move is like Raskolnikov's struggle with his wretchedness as described in the book of Genesis...

Jordan is likely Russian asset

https://lemmy.ca/post/25137527/10408240

The 53-year-old Tesla and SpaceX CEO told Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson in an interview last July that the decision to build a supercomputer in Memphis evoked references, at least in part, to the Memphis of ancient Egypt and its pantheon of gods.

“Perhaps that’s where our new god will come from,” Musk said.
