Peterson cited his ongoing feud with the College of Psychologists of Ontario as a reason to leave his home country.
Jordan Peterson, the polarizing Canadian psychologist, has bid Canada adieu and will now call the United States home, citing personal and professional reasons for the move.
The news was revealed on a podcast this week, where Peterson and his daughter, Mikhaila Peterson Fuller, discussed his decision to move. He did not specify where he had settled, but news reports indicate he is living near his daughter, who is in Arizona.
“Welcome to moving to America, formally,” she offhandedly said to her dad during The Mikhaila Peterson Podcast episode.
“I guess that’s what happened, isn’t it? Is this the big announcement?” said Peterson.
“There are decided advantages to being here,” he said.
Peterson made reference to his ongoing feud with the College of Psychologists of Ontario, as well as a bill targeting hate speech, among his key reasons to leave his home country.
“The issue with the College of Psychologists is very annoying, to say the least, and the new legislation that the Liberals are attempting to push through, Bill C-63, we’d all be living in a totalitarian hellhole if it passes,” he told his daughter.
