Controversial author Jordan Peterson is bringing his teachings to BC, with shows scheduled for Victoria and Kelowna, plus a Vancouver date next week.
The LiveNation concert states that Peterson has “taught mythology to lawyers, doctors, and business people, consulted for the UN Secretary-General, helped his clinical clients manage depression,” and more.
Peterson has been described as an “acclaimed public thinker.”
He’ll be in Victoria at the Save On Foods Memorial Centre on May 19 and Prospera Place in Kelowna on May 26. Tickets start at $45.
Peterson is on tour for his book published in 2021 titled Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life. Amazon describes the book as an “antidote to the chaos in our lives,” although some would argue that Peterson has brought more chaos to life, at least in the social media sphere.
Last year, Peterson found himself “meme’d through the mud” after throwing a tantrum about Elliot Page.
In 2022, almost exactly one year ago, Peterson also caught some flack online for praising Canadian protesters participating in “Freedom Convoys.”
Peterson was scheduled to be in Vancouver last May, but the show was delayed due to “unforeseen circumstances.”
That show was rescheduled to February 21, next week, with tickets for that event being sold out.
Peterson is currently in a dispute with the Ontario College of Psychologists over sanctions placed on him for his social media use.
I am being investigated by the Ontario College of Psychologists because of a complaint about this tweet, not submitted, by the way, by the person I responded to. I refuse to defend myself against such things anymore. It takes days of work to mount such a defence. pic.twitter.com/rJB515nKpF

Despite the controversy, someone on Twitter said that “this will likely be a sold-out show.” If the Vancouver date is any example, that person is likely correct.
Daily Hive has reached out to Live Nation for comment.
Tickets for the two BC shows go on sale this Friday, February 17.
