Not to mention the compelled speech in Canada, in regards to gender pronouns.

This is a legal hypothetical advocated by Jordan Peterson and not actually ever demonstrated in reality / tested in court / etc., right? (That is, neither Peterson nor anyone else has said that they were compelled to speak in a certain way and there are no legal proceedings against anyone who has refused to speak in a certain way, right?)

I'm not sure if the compelled speech was actually adopted into law. I'm referring to Jordan Peterson's interview and senate hearing in relation to the law.

It's not even a hypothetical. Peterson just completely misrepresented the law and actual lawyers have said that all of his claims were nonsense.
