Interviews

Ever since his strong objections to Canadian Bill C-16, Jordan Peterson has become an important voice of the public discourse around topics of political correctness and the preservation of existing cultural norms. In consequences, he has been interviewed much more frequently in the past few years, so there is a bias toward interviews from that period.
