And then he wrote a book, which is still, more than 30 weeks after its publication, among Amazon’s top 20 best-selling books. Peterson’s rise to prominence on the wings of what seemed like a willful misinterpretation of a law, Bill C-16, which added gender identity and expression to the Canadian Human Rights Act, struck me as opportunistic at best.īut Peterson didn’t go away.
