Canadian Bill C-4 - Christian ethics practice made illegal

Doctor Peterson, Are you aware of this draconian legislation? Thank you for your fight against compelled speech. Would you please consider making a response to this bill? If only to make your audience aware. Selfishly I’d like to hear your thoughts on this, but even if you chose not to comment, I’d appreciate at least a mention. https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/csj-sjc/pl/charter-charte/c4_1.html

Thoughts on afterlife

Jordan do you have any thoughts on the afterlife experience? Maybe a recurring theme in the grand scheme of all your research that you resonate with? The positive light you’ve willed to emit must be greatly rewarded. Thank you

Strength training

It would be great to see you build yourself up to be stronger. I've seen you talk about strength training having immense benefits which is one of the things that encouraged me to take it seriously. I know that Mark Rippetoe's program would do you a huge amount of good. I think you'd see what I mean, particularly if you get hold of a copy of his book called the Barbell Prescription (basically the bible on strength training for over 40's). Mark Rippetoe is the best-selling author on this subject and for good reason. I think you'd also make a very interesting guest on each other's podcasts, particularly as you share a large number of fans.

You don't choose to be a Hero, you are chosen to be a hero

First, I subscribed to you since I want to support you. I don't really give a shit if you will answer my rant so you can skip the rest of it if you want (although I believe it has a value). Take my question as a "free pass" and the eziest 10$ per month you have ever made :D I am Alon Ohana I am from Israel and I analyzed the great story of the greatest leader that humanity have ever witnessed - Moses. Moses is a hero. He is a killer, not belonged and stuttering man. God has chosen him. God choose many people who didn't want to be chosen - he choose Jonah, he choose David, he choose Moses. They were all leaders and heroes. We need to be the heroes of our story, we need to thrive and try to be the best we can be. But we need humility, just like Moses, David, Jonah and other great leaders across the history had. Sometimes heroes are chosen - like Joe Rogan, and sometimes heroes fill the void that other left empty - like many people think about Donald Trump. Trump was chosen since he was a hero for the people (even if it is far fetched I think you get the point you are smart), Joe Rogan was chosen because he is inside the eye of the storm. I think in the end you are a hero as well - from both kinds. You choose to stand up, you had to stand up, and you told the truth - whatever the cost was. You are chosen as a hero, which sucks ass I mean you can ask Moses or Jonah or George Washington they all hated that. And to be honest, you are doing a good damn job. Not like Moses - he is the GOAT of leadership. But you are decent. BIG LOVE FROM ISRAEL PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE COME TO VISIT HERE! Alon Ohana P.S. If you come to Israel please go to the Western Wall and have a pray to god with me :D

Masculinity

What does true masculinity look like in today’s world - could you describe this in a story? I have 3 young step sons who are growing up in a world where it is not ‘cool’ to be a man, Thanks!
