Wilfred Laurier has responded to the defamation lawsuit filed by Dr. Jordan Peterson in a rather

unique way. They are claiming that Jordan Peterson should be suing Lindsay Sheppard, the

Wilfred Laurier student, because she is the one who secretly recorded the meeting in the first

place and published it. The only problem, they're wrong. Lindsay Sheppard didn't publish the recording,

some news outlets did. If you're not familiar with the story, Lindsay Sheppard is a student at

Wilfred Laurier and she showed a classroom, a video debate of Jordan Peterson and a few other

who recorded this. So let's take a look at whose fault this really is and I'm just going to

write off the bad, say it obviously, it's not Lindsay Sheppard's, it's not Jordan Peterson's,

but let's talk about it and we'll start by reading the new story from the national post.

The impugned words were uploaded to YouTube by Sheppard and she is therefore responsible for

the damages if any that flowed from the impugned words being broadcast. In a statement of defense filed

in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, Wilfred Laurier University says that controversial professor

and author Jordan Peterson is a hypocrite and he's suing the wrong people. Peterson is suing
