Author and former psychology professor Dr. Jordan B. Peterson issued a message of congratulations and caution to Canadian truckers protesting vaccine mandates across the country.
“I’ve been asked to say a few words to the truckers in Ottawa, and so I’ve given that some careful consideration,” Peterson began in a straight-to-camera address on his YouTube channel.
“You are now faced with a difficult choice, which is ‘What is your criteria for satisfaction?'” Peterson said. “You need to determine that so you can negotiate with the necessary people.”
Peterson’s words come as thousands of Canadians continue to protest against the government’s vaccine mandates in the form of convoys blocking border crossings, major roadways, and occupying Canada’s capital city of Ottawa.

Peterson continued to congratulate the truckers on their success thus far, saying that the movement “now has a voice in the House of Commons” following the Conservative Party’s adjustment in leadership.
“Erin O’Toole has been replaced by someone who is giving a fair bit of voice to your concerns,” Peterson explained.
Peterson further warned the truckers of extremists with bad intentions within their movement who may act out and tarnish the peaceful protests on display so far.

“More and more of you who are most reasonable are going to pack up and leave or decide that this is done sometime over the next week or so — or a couple of weeks; that’s obviously up to you — but there’ll be a remnant that’s much more committed in some sense to more extreme goals,” he continued. “That’s going to be something very difficult to manage.”
“You’ve been able to remain peaceful. You haven’t taken the bait. You haven’t responded with violence to quite remarkable denigration and provocation. That’s a sign of tremendous discipline and care. It’s going to get more difficult to maintain as this goes along. So I hope that you’re all able to allow a sufficient victory to be sufficient,” Peterson added.
