From what I've gathered, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson was taken to court by the College of Psychologists of Ontario on complaints of professional misconduct. This was based on him making public statements (of a political kind) that they deemed unprofessional. You can read about it here.
The Ontario court ruled that Dr. Peterson must choose between undergoing social media sensitivity training, or lose his medical license.
According to a recent video (time-stamped for relevance), Dr. Peterson intends to appeal the ruling to the Canadian Supreme Court on the basis of it being a free speech infringement. From what I understand, this is based (partially, perhaps) on the College being a governmental body, meaning they cannot regulate free speech the same way a private organization can.
I do not know a lot of the details regarding this trial, nor regarding what the exact contents of Dr. Peterson's appeal is. My question is; was this ruling an illegal infringement of his free speech? Any answers that go beyond this question in order to answer whether or not other aspects (if they exist) of his proposed appeal are legally reasonable will also be appreciated.
