Jordan Peterson would be a fantastic leader. He is extremely humble, fact-based, and open-minded when it comes to taking on very complex and difficult issues such as politics or human nature. He is the most influential public intellectual in the world right now because of this thoughtfulness. Which surely Canadian politics would benefit from.

Your article also makes it seem that Jordan is more right wing then what he is. While although for example he appreciates the free-market, he does acknowledge that wealth inequality is an issue and that ignoring it is a fatal miscalculation from those on the right. This suggests that economically speaking, he’d seek to expand the individuals economic freedom while simultaneously engaging in a certain degree of redistributive economics.

On the freedom of speech front, he wouldn’t have double standards. He is a free speech absolutist which means everybody across the political spectrum would be able to voice their beliefs more. Not just the far right.

As for climate change, he worked actively with the UN on this very issue so it’s not like he doesn’t care about it. He just isn’t buying the proposition that the stakes are as high as what the left-wing is making it out to be.
