Canada didn’t kick him out, he left willingly like a fly attracted to shit.

Yep he moved to Florida

Canadian Psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson has made it official, announcing on his daughter’s podcast that he has moved to the free state of Florida.

"the free state of Florida"? Is this like a secessionist thing?

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I think he's saying that it's free compared to Canada? Not sure, the dude is a drug addict. Also, I can't wait to see how he likes Florida compared to Canada's social services. It's going to be fun.

he was formally on benzodiazapenes, he got addicted, then he decided he would go to russia to get unsanction care to deal with his withdrawals, and the coma caused brain damage.

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

Because he had to drop could turkey in order to line up with his worldview (can't preach that modern medicine is poison if you're having to taper off benzos). In reality, it's likely that the combination was the coma and the drug withdrawals - benzo withdrawal can quite literally kill you because your brain needs them to function at that point. This is why he went to a Russian clinic, because literally no doctor anywhere in the West was willing to take the risk of "oh this guy might straight up die and we'll be left holding the bag".

In soviet Russia, sometimes patient die

As I (if I) understand it he is rich so health care is not an issue for him

[–] Stamau123@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

No, Free State of Florida is the dog whistle new official name

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

isnt that the daughter that peterson allowed tate to have "sex" with.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

I can't find that part, but they are Russian connected. Who isn't on the far right?

In December 2019, the Petersons held an emergency family meeting. Mikhaila had a plan. Her husband, Andrey Korikov, a Russian-born business consultant, had found a clinic in Russia that would perform an “ultra-rapid” detox. Peterson’s doctors vehemently advised against it—removing the benzodiazepines from Peterson’s system so quickly could kill him, and Russian health care is far less advanced than North American medicine (the country regularly finishes in the lowest third of global health rankings). Feeling that they’d exhausted all other options, however, the family made the difficult choice to send Peterson to Moscow.

Mikhaila is also name after Mikhail Gorbachev according to the Toronto article I posted above.

just like how murdoch came to the us, when australia did not like his brand of sht.
