I don’t assume it’s affordable for the prime minister of the nation to mainly label me a traitor and I don’t discover it amusing’.
Peterson stated he’s wanting right into a defamation lawsuit in opposition to the prime minister, however stated these lawsuits are sometimes a ‘shedding recreation’, even when he has an inexpensive likelihood of successful it.
‘I do know what lawsuits are like and so they’re a ache, and I’m not concerned about being burdened down with that kind of ache, virtually talking. However by the identical token, how about you don’t defame me if you’re the prime minister, particularly stupidly’, stated Peterson.”
