TORONTO—A few hundred people gathered outside the College of Psychologists of Ontario office in Toronto at noon on Jan. 11 to protest the college’s censure of Jordan Peterson.

Peterson has refused to comply with the college’s order that he take social media training or risk losing his licence, saying the order is politically motivated. The college has taken issue with Peterson’s tweets criticizing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and with his commentary on a variety of issues, including COVID-19 restrictions.
