Agree. I would only add is that Peterson is a symbol/representation of a large (albeit minority) group of people in Canada who want all the perks of free speech but none of the responsibilities (think the Ottawa convoy group and their supporters). Postmedia, PP, Danielle Smith and pretty much the entire conservative movement in this country, have latched onto them as their 'base' with Peterson as their symbolic 'leader'.
You devoted an entire column to someone you claim isn't important or worth talking about.
Peterson is a bigot, a misogynist and a fraud, and he's given credibility by the same jerks who own PostMedia and most troublingly by elected officials and political leaders. That is what makes him significant. It's significant that conservatives who seek power and have power champion his bigotry, lies and hatred in the name of "free speech".
