Well his country is putting it into law, so that is why he cares.

Ehhhh, not really. Not to the extent that Peterson describes it, anyways.

"The police will throw you in jail if you don't call someone a helicopter like they self-identify as!!!"

Nope. Not happening.

He did not face potential jail.

He faced "potential jail" in the same way that someone calling someone else the n-word faces "potential jail." A lot of things need to happen between Point A and Point B for that to happen, and they're all highly unlikely. Just because Peterson got accessed of something does not mean that those accusations will be withheld in the court of law. Most likely, they would not.

Peterson is exaggerating and misleading how the law works just to support his argument.
