    Courts award damages and costs, LMG can afford expensive lawyers and she’s made imputations against the company that they would be able to demonstrate effected their standing and business.

    You can’t just say specific and detailed shit about people and businesses, in a high profile way, getting maximum attention, and then not expect any consequences. Canada does not have the same first amendment rights as the US, and even in the US defamation is a powerful legal mechanism. She’s risking a lot.

      I don’t know about Canada but that’s a very high bar here (as it should be). They would have to be able to prove not only that the things she said are false, but that she knew they were false.
