There is a strong chance you鈥檝e happened across this widely-shared article from the National Post already (6 minute read). Released on the evening on January 10, 2022, Dr. Jordan Peterson thoughtfully illuminated the concerns so many of us share.
In this article, Dr. Peterson effectively outlines the perspective many Canadians have been searching for, unsuccessfully, in mainstream media for the past 2 years. Further, the resonance between Dr. Peterson鈥檚 opinion piece, and the philosophical, legal beliefs shared via NHPPA by our President, Mr. Shawn Buckley, are clear.
In his piece, Mr. Peterson writes, 鈥淲e鈥檙e sowing mistrust in our institutions in a seriously dangerous manner. We鈥檙e frightening people to make them comply. We鈥檙e producing bureaucratic institutions that hypothetically hold public health in the highest regard, but subordinating all our properly political institutions to that end, because we lack leadership, and rely on ultimately unreliable opinion polls to govern broadscale political policy. I鈥檝e never seen breakdown in institutional trust on this scale before in my lifetime.鈥�
This mirrors Mr. Buckley鈥檚 most recent Discussion Paper where he shared, 鈥淚 did not expect the Queen鈥檚 Courts to protect us from the Queen鈥檚 Governments. For almost two years I have witnessed a shocking disregard for our fundamental rights and freedoms鈥攁ll accepted and supported by a populace hypnotized by the siren song of fear. In that context I did not believe the Courts would make a meaningful difference. And they haven鈥檛.鈥�
Both Dr. Peterson and Mr. Buckley, are also echoing the same sentiments about 鈥渢he time for courage鈥�, the consequences of 鈥渜uiet submission鈥� and our need to pull together鈥攁ll topics that will be expanded upon in our upcoming bi-monthly membership calls. Make sure you鈥檙e聽聽for more on that!
In the meantime, you can listen to Mr. Buckley鈥檚 in-depth thoughts on the topics of Canada鈥檚 Courts, COVID, and freedom of choice within a replay of the live call NHPPA hosted in December, 2021.
