The senior class should invite Jordan Peterson to deliver the colleges commencement address inMay.

For a school that studies the classic tradition while fighting for freedom in modern politics, Peterson is an excellentfit.

A public intellectual and clinical psychologist, he speaks on eternal truths and classic texts, and applies their lessons to todays controversies. A New Yorker article called Peterson the most influentialand polarizingpublic intellectuals in the English-speaking world.

Peterson came to public attention in 2016 when he opposed an amendment to Canadas criminal code that added gender identity as a protected category. Peterson argued that the change would criminalize a persons refusal to use they/them pronouns and ultimately push Canada toward tyrannya concept he has studied foryears.

Ive studied authoritarianism for a very long timefor 40 yearsand theyre started by peoples attempts to control the ideological and linguistic territory, he told the BBC in2016.

He stands strongly against cultural insanity while not becoming an ordinary talking head on a nightly shout show. He has spoken out against the sexual revolution and transgender radicalism while defending family values andtradition.

Since entering the spotlight, Peterson has captivated audiences everywhere. He has written two best-selling books on life improvement and traveled across the world speaking to thousands of people on ideas like responsibility anddiscipline.

Adopt responsibility for your own well-being, Peterson said in a video. Try to put your family together, try to serve your community, try to seek for eternal truth thats the sort of thing that can ground you in your life, enough so that you can withstand the difficulty oflife.

Self-responsibility is a core theme of Petersons messagepractically identical to the principle of self-government this college holdsclosely.

Almost all the meaning that you will need to get you through the hard times of your life is going to be a consequence of adopting responsibility, he said in onelecture.

But theres another reason to invite Peterson to campus. We have the unique opportunity to teach one of the worlds leading intellectuals alesson.

Peterson has spoken out about the decline of the university countless times. The crackdowns on free speech, the decreased diversity of thought, and increased reliance on feelings and identity are among hiscomplaints.

At a 2019 Heritage Foundation event, Peterson said what universities fundamentally manage to achieve is leaving studentsdefeated.

What people are being taught, Peterson said referring to the modern university, is of no utility as a guiding light to anyone. And its a catastrophe to take young people in their formative yearsand to tear the substructure out from underneaththem.

Peterson spends hours on podcasts lamenting the failure of modern education. On his Aug. 2 podcast he talks to seven guests about their experiences on American campuses, including a North Korean defector who said her time at Columbia University made her very pessimistic about the Westernworld.

Hillsdale College should show him an example of a successful collegeone that pursues truth, encourages diversity of thought, and stands firmly against the race-obsessed and emotionally-charged curriculums ruining most institutions.

He will see, in Hillsdale, an example of education done right. He will finally have an example to point to of an intellectually serious and open-minded college.

What he says matters and when he talks, millionslisten.

In a time of disillusionment and turmoil, Peterson speaks to the sanity and truth we crave. We should invite him to send us off into theworld.

Candace Owens debates Russell Brand - The Global Herald - The Global Herald

A liberal wants happy endings. A conservative wants satisfactory endings. Liberal happiness usually involves great unhappiness. Conservative satisfaction usually means things that work.

In the Covid-19 crisis the West has sought a vaccine-powered happy ending where everyone goes to heaven but no one dies. As we see now, a more realistic end game that conceded some death and hardship was needed for a satisfactory ending. What produced the former and actively suppressed the latter was China.

As we wrote in April of 2020, only the Chinese knew what was happening on Covid-19: Repeat. No one but the Chinese knew anything till at least March (2020). (U.S. President Donald) Trump only knew what he was told by his crack science team of Dr. Anthony Fauci, Dr. Karen Birkx, Dr. Anthony Redfield and the armies of CDC and Health Department apparatchiks. Who said in March that masks were ineffective. But now science proves theyre boffo. (In D.C. opinions are like belly buttons. Everybodys got one.)

Trump is not an epidemiologist. Hes a businessman, a salesman whose focus was on preventing a total collapse of the economy. So when the initial calming sounds from his advisors proved fatally wrong, Trump played for time. He mobilized supply chains, supplied states with ventilators, PPE and beds. Even his bitter enemy Cuomo, governor of New York, was forced to concede that Orange Man Bad had done alright by the people of the Empire State. His policies did flatten the curve, preventing an early meltdown of U.S. hospitals and their health system.

Likewise, Trudeau is not an epidemiologist. The PM got his talking points, largely,from his virus expert Dr. Theresa Tam (via the WHO). Reading from the Chinese script she scorned masks and the closing of borders. While Trump closed Americas borders and sanctioned China, Trudeau, Health Minster Patty Hajdu and senior public health officials insisted that the risk of transmission was low in Canada right up until early March.

When the risk level suddenly jumped to high on March 15, the government scrambled to impose an economic lockdown to curb the spread of the virus reports CBC.ca.

Which is where we have been since the fabled 15 days in 2020 to flatten the curve the first of many Orwellian bromides to deflect from the tragedy of executive overreach.Now we have an extensive article saying just that.

In the Wests abject panic over the virus, says Tablet magazine in The Masked Ball of Cowardice, the assembled political and health elites of the West took their marching orders from Chinas carefully manicured script on how they beat a virus that most everyone now concedes they launched themselves. The script was a lie that launched an estimated 4.5 million deaths worldwide.

At the heart of the lockdown madness was the collective fantasy of controlling a common respiratory pathogena feat the epidemiology profession had agreed was impossible and self-destructive just months prior.

In The Masked Ball of Cowardice Michael P. Senger documents how the pandemic can be explained by initial gullibility on alleged Chinese treatment of the virus and the subsequent attempts by the West to cover their ass for being suckered. since 15 days to slow the spreadfrom fear propaganda to masks to school closures and vaccine passeshas been a cover-up of catastrophe that was the original lockdowns and denial of insanity of trusting scientists and billionaires who treat information from China as real.

A few samples from Sengers blistering of the Wests elites. Starting with our favourite: the blunderbuss PCR tests.Based on WHOs guidance on COVID-19 testing, again citing Chinese journal articles, labs used, and continue to use, PCR cycle thresholds from 37 to 40, and sometimes as high as 45. At these cycle threshold levels, approximately 85% to 90% of cases are false positives.

The WHOs PCR guidance was quite possibly the deadliest accounting fraud of all time. According to coding guidance, if the decedent had either tested positive or been in contact with anyone who had, within several weeks prior to death, then death should be classified as COVID-19 death.

Senger points out that in swallowing the Chinese prescription the West ignored the far-greater catastrophe of social costs. In March 2020, the Dutch commissioned a cost-benefit analysis concluding that the health damage from lockdown would be 6 times greater than the benefit. The government then ignored it, claiming society would not accept optics of an elderly person unable to get an ICU bed.

Figures from Trudeau to (now former) NY state governor Andrew Cuomo hopped on board the Zero Covid train early. As we wrote in April 2020: Justin Trudeau, has suggested that losing even one Canadian to the virus is not worth any economic benefit. In the U.S., the key health advisors to president Donald Trump talk about not being able to re-start society till the virus is stopped and no lives are in danger. This humanist position enjoys the approval of the mainstream media which has turned the Covid-19 death toll into a telethon of tragedy, bereft of context and precedent.

That implausible goal of crushing the virus at all costs has now resulted in a choked health-care system, untold millions dying or suffering from the isolation and desolation of lockdowns and, despite the buoyant stock market, the destruction of supply chains. To give just one example, August production of Toyota vehicles is to be slashed by 60,000 to 90,000 vehicles. Why? Microchips are impossible to source and petrified labour is staying home, not working.

We foresaw the supply-chain monster in March of 2020. One revelation that will not pass, however, is just how vulnerable North Americas indulged society is to events in China. The virus, which originated in Wuhan, has become the unwanted party guest who wont leave till hes soiled the carpets and broken the furniture as he plays air guitar.

But its also informed Americans and Canadians that almost all their prescription drugs and a host of other products come exclusively from China. Or near enough. So those high-blood-pressure pills we gobble especially the generic brands are 95 percent dependent on Chinese labs after successive governments in North America allowed the business to migrate eastward. And supplies are dwindling.

This dependence has been around for some time now, waiting to emerge. It just took the Covid-19 emergency to make citizens aware. You certainly didnt hear it it discussed in media circles when the new North American trade deal was being discussed We can see why now. Canadas PM Justin Trudeau is too busy currying favour with the geopolitical swells to watch out for his nations vulnerability. Like ceding our sovereignty on energy to the Saudis or Americans, it was getting in the way of him winning a seat on the UN Security Council in his priorities.

As conservative radio host Jesse Kelly writes: I dont understand. I was told repeatedly that you could just pause an economy as if it was Netflix. After all, someone got sick. Did pausing the economy and dumping trillions of unbacked currency into it cause widespread economic dislocation? Weird.

Weird indeed. And with Canadas GDP dropping, about to get weirder.
