Jordan Peterson launches $1.5M defamation lawsuit against Wilfrid Laurier University

h/t Instapundit
University of Toronto Professor Jordan Peterson has launched a $1.5-million defamation suit against Wilfrid Laurier University, two of its professors and a former gender and equity manager for suggesting he was "analogous to Adolf Hitler."

The statement of claim, prepared by lawyer Howard Levitt and filed Monday, says Peterson was falsely labelled as incompetent, sexist, misogynist, dangerous and racist in a now infamous disciplinary meeting with Wilfrid Laurier University teaching assistant Lindsay Shepherd.

"So I think this is a warning, let’s say, to other careless administrators and professors who allow their ideological presuppositions to get the best of them to be a bit more careful with what they say and do," he said.
Wilfrid Laurier University is where Ross Cressman sits

#1 This conversation was secretly recorded. Don't think that counts as a public statement, but things might be different in Canada.
