Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Absolutely disgusting.
I hope Ms Shepherd crowd funds a legal defence. I’m sure lots of people would contribute.
I also hope she counter sues these two bastards.
As for Wilfred Laurier, it’s time for Canadians to stop hiring graduates of this institution.
I agree and I would contribute.
This sounds like a GoFundMe challenge.
well if there is a crowd fund it will assuredly be the very first one I donate to.
aaaaand will ‘make up for lost time’.
I sent rambukabuka an email when this hit the news. the gutless shyt of course did not respond.
this WILL blow up in their goddamn faces. stand back, it gonna get severely messy.
I’ve encountered that type of arrogance from academics while I was a grad student. They believed they were more equal than everybody else and that normal rules or, for that matter, laws didn’t apply to them.
Looking at the photos of those two “gentlemen”, I don’t think they’re very bright. A sensible judge would dismiss their case and make them pay costs. Do we have any sensible judges these days?
No.
These guys need a better public relations agent.
“These guys need a better public relations agent.”
These guys need something they never got.
KM, like Mr Burqa, ugly bassturds
A deafamation suit
They are cowards who act like thugs behind closed doors but were exposed and can’t stand the transparency. Secretly taping a conversation is perhaps unethical but her recording those goons ganging up on her exposing their slander and academic authoritarianism hopefully does to their careers what they richly deserve. If that institution had any desire to salvage any kind of respectability, it would fire those two assholes. As an integral part of the institutional left it will instead stand behind them.
University of Toronto professor Jordan Peterson is taking legal action against Wilfrid Laurier University after a T.A. was criticized for showing a YouTube clip of him.
Petersen – a psychology professor whose contentious views have been protested across the country – and his lawyer, Howard Levitt of Levitt LLP, are suing the school and three faculty members for defamation worth $1.5 million.

The claims, which haven’t been proven in court, say comments made in a closed meeting were defamatory and intended to discredit Peterson.
Peterson’s controversial views on the use of gender pronouns for trans-people became the subject of a free speech debate at Laurier after T.A. Lindsay Shepherd showed a video clip of him during a class tutorial.

WATCH BELOW: Jordan Peterson explains why he filed suit against Wilfrid Laurier University over Lindsay Shepherd case
https://globalnews.ca/news/4287272/jordan-peterson-sues-wilfrid-laurier-for-defamation-following-ta-case/
———————————————————————————————————————————————————–
L-Two professor’s, highly paid and tenured, who attempted a secret disciplinary action against Lindsay Shepherd, have decided to sue the young grad. student, who happens to be expecting her first child. Ms. Shepherd is suing them for $3.6million, her lawyer Howard Levitt is a heavy hitter in the field of Labour Law and civil actions. Prof. Peterson has retained the same lawyer and is suing both Wilfred Laurier Professors and the university.
Reducing the upcoming battle to an archetype: Prof. Peterson, with the sharp sword of truth (Excaliber) in hand is St. George, the knight in shining armour. The patron Saint of England. Lawyer Howard Levitt will play the role of the St. George’s intrepid, white (Lipizzaner-war horse) stallion. Ms. Shepherd plays the role of the brave, spunky, damsel in distress. Who is under threat from the 3 headed, fire(methane) breathing dragon(played by the two W.L. Professors and Wilfred University, itself).
Hoist a tall beverage and a large popcorn. Let the games begin. My prediction is dragon sushi !
If Shepherd is already suing Rabukkana and Pimlott, then they’re counter-suing as a standard legal defense tactic. It gives them something to negotiate with when it goes to arbitration.
I’ve always been a mite suspicious of the Shepherd-as-victim narrative, not least of which because this sort of thing happens all the time to students who aren’t cute young girls and so no one cares. Moreover, nobody has ever taken Laurier or its students seriously; that this happened at Laurier is a “dog bites man” story.
Increasingly Shepherd is crafting a narrative instead of reporting the truth, and that’s eventually going to blow up in her face.
If it happens all the time, shouldn’t someone object with all the tools at their disposal? Instead, you get all picky and hissy about the woman who dares to fight back, which is a pretty pathetic stance to take in the free speech/culture war we’re currently engaged in. Do her allegedly “cute” looks disturb you some how?
And if it blows up in her face – you will inevitably claim it did, regardless of truth – you can smirk as these bully bozos get away with it.
Sometimes the narrative is the truth.
“I’ve always been a mite suspicious of the Shepherd-as-victim narrative, not least of which because this sort of thing happens all the time to students who aren’t cute young girls and so no one cares. ”
So let me get this right: you’re suspicious because…… Shepherd is cute?
Apparently no one remembers Jessica Lynch.
lots do asswipe. another FACT of this case is the Lynch situation is in no way related
except in your pure vacuum skull.
betcha you also believe fervently that Apollo 11 was faked eh?
danny, did you just git reemed again???
When you grow some brains, come back and comment again
What a crock of shite you have spouted.
Have you listened to the recording? I have. What they did to Shepherd is unconscionable and deceitful. It turns out that they invented the complaint. The university report of what occurred confirms that. Both Shepherd and Peterson are on strong grounds with their lawsuits. Though this being Canada, of course, ground zero of the PC and SJW nonsense where as an immigrant I suspect the Health System deballs men at birth, who knows.
For God’s sake man do some research before you comment.
Yes it happens all the time, and Lindsey fought back and did it effectively. That alone makes her a treasure. More power to her.
Guess I haven’t been paying close-enough attention to Shepherd’s life … she’s pregnant? … and married? (to a Romanian immigrant?). Huh? How cisgendered of her. Just another reason for the leftist nutjobs to SILENCE her … in their twisted minds.
My understanding is that the suit against her is alleging that the libelous statements made against Peterson in Shepherd’s administrative hearing – for which he is suing the two professors and Laurier – came to public attention only because Shepherd released the recording, and so the goal of said suit would be to pass on 100% of the obligation of any Peterson settlement onto Shepherd. It’s a clever tactic and actually makes a reprehensible sort of sense. I have no idea if there’s any chance of it coming to that, but Canadian jurisprudence has become really effed up in recent years so who knows?
However to me the larger issue is that of star chamber situations like this where anything libelous can be said about anyone to manipulate and bully frightened students – or regular citizenry – with the adjudicators of these star chambers well aware that a secret recording could be used to either deflect any libelous charges or pass any financial obligations on to the secret recorder. That would ensure that these leftist a$$holes never have to worry, because who would ever risk making a recording?
Two mental midgets who support perversion, don’t need em.
Look like a couple of real macho Bull Squirrels. Ball washers for the local Gay Pride Parade.
Dude certainly looks like a Herbert Pimlott and the trans fellah shouldn’t wear his vagina on his chin.
Those two fully tenured professors … Freaks and Geeks. The inmates are now officially in charge of the asylum
Those two overpaid goons look like the couldn’t manage a fast food place. They would bully the staff, steal what they could, let the enterprise degenerate, and possibly poison the customers. Poor character degrades whatever it touches. Prince Dimbulb comes to mind.
The smirking turd on the right looks like one of those guys who would pay an electrician to change a light bulb because such a task would be beneath him and he would probably hurt himself in the process anyway. As for the other guy …. handing coffee out the window of a drive-thru would probably be within his capabilities so long as someone else prepared the coffee and handled the money. Hard to believe that such a pair of useless tits could be well paid for anything.
So which one of these f***s is a tra**y?
The banality of evil. Pic related.
whats the matter with the not so cute students? Have they no back bone? Are they so indoctrinated that they take crap from proffs. That ends in grade school.
Funny how our entitled parasites all wear the same face.
The photos of those two remind me of the monkey selfie taken a few years back.

LOOK at all of the tens of thousands Nathan Rambukkan hoovered up from the Canadian taxpayers. Mostly in the give me all your money Province of Quebec.

Yeah, and all the judges that Trudeau, Trudeau, Chretien, Mulroney, Campbell, Harper, Turner, Martin, appointed will side with the narrative. Welcome to the country you kept voting for like morons.
