Jordan Peterson sues Wilfrid Laurier for defamation following Lindsay Shepherd case
Comments in the meeting included a comparison of Peterson’s speech to Hitler, and a comparison of his opinion to that of an anti-trans, anti-gay, anti-women white supremacist.
IANAL, so I don't know if the legal rule is "what happens in the disciplinary meeting stays in the disciplinary meeting". If it is then we don't so much need laws to protect whistleblowers as we need new laws to punish them further for tattling.
Anyway, while I doubt that Peterson will be cashing a giant, prop-sized cheque any more than Shepherd will be, it would be nice if in the legal dissection of all of this, Laurier could at least tell us why they fabricated claims of complaint when there were none.
Large institutions typically don't have the resources to aggressively pursue every complaint they receive; maybe Laurier could tell us why they had no actual complaints to act on so they made one up in order to act on it.
