Jordan Peterson’s analysis of what happened to Canada struck a chord with me because Australia is not far behind in its long cultural revolution, following its divisive indigenous policies down the plug hole and even copying the idealised naming of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait peoples as “First Nations”. Sometimes, Peterson can be long winded in making a point but your interviewing skills were great.
