(LifeSiteNews) — Popular Canadian psychologist and cultural analyst Jordan Peterson has called for Canadians living in Quebec to “resist” a new draconian COVID curfew enacted by the province’s premier.
“Here’s a shock. But Quebec in this benighted and cowardly country of mine has just initiated a curfew. And banned private gatherings. Resist, Montreal! Take to the streets at 10:00 pm tonight. Defy this appalling law! Or lose more freedom to the bureaucrats,” tweeted Peterson on New Year’s Eve.
Peterson was replying to a tweet from conservative American commentator Ben Shapiro, who wrote, “Almost as though this entire panic has been utterly unjustifiable by available evidence.”
Shapiro’s tweet was in turn in response to a tweet from Dr. Scott Gottlieb, which showed that the omicron variant may be peaking in the U.K. and that the hospitalization rates from COVID are steady despite record-high case numbers.
Peterson called for civil disobedience in another tweet on New Year’s Eve, as well.
“Come on Montrealers! Have some courage! Defy these prohibitions,” tweeted Peterson.
The Premier of Québec announced on December 30 that the province would be enacting a COVID curfew. No one except emergency workers are allowed out of their homes after 10 p.m. unless it’s for an emergency.
Since admitting his “stupid” decision to get the jabs, Peterson has come out more vocally against both COVID lockdowns and jab mandates.
