The part where an NDP MP defamed a company?

RackNine Inc. and its CEO, Matt Meier, filed a statement of claim on Friday alleging Martin made defamatory and malicious statements beginning with a Feb. 23 news conference in Ottawa and during subsequent media appearances the next three days. The statements were "calculated" to cause the "maxi-mum damage" to the reputations of RackNine and Meier, actions which the lawsuit alleges will damage the business.

Looks like it hasn't been settled after all.

Like I said, "Oh I see what you think you did there".

Your admitted stupidity, is only overshadowed by your shear arrogance.

I'll repost this, since you obviously missed it the first time. Another result of your admitted stupidity.

Especially since Racknine has cooperated with Elections Canada, since day one.

Martin has been privy to any and all evidence the public has, re: Racknine's culpability. And yet he chose to make unfounded, unsubstantiated, and defamatory, accusations and claims, in absolutes. Contrary to evidence, and reality.

I've read Martin' commentary, as cited in Meier's Statement of Claim. I have a decent knowledge of Canadian defamation/libel law. I have no doubt, Meier will win. The only thing that isn't a sure thing, is the amount he will be awarded.

I would have liked to hear Harper and Co. come out with guns blazing, confirming that this sort of action is an insult to democracy and to Parliament, but if they have said any such thing, I haven't heard it.

Which removes another 50% of the already small respect I have for this collection of nasty assholes.

You're either with us, or against us, to use their own logic, and therefore Harper and Company must hate democracy.

Yeah, me too.....although your post gave me a mental image of Frankenstein with torch and pitchfork, amongst the mob attacking an empty castle.....lol

A Mel Brooks moment.

Your inability to see what I did there was predictable.
Is it your arrogance, or your admitted stupidity that is causing your inability to understand that I did see what you thought you did there?

The fact remains, you haven't established anything, except for the fact that your admission of stupidity, was one of the only honest things you've said on CC.

Oh, the loonies in the mob may have over-stepped themselves........seems people in some ridings on the robo-call list say there was no problem.....

Global Edmonton | Questionable ridings included on list of robocall targets

I am beginning to suspect that this is another case of an opposition that simply can not deal with the fact they were fairly beaten.

Clearly not. You were only able to see what you thought I did there. That;s why you have decided to dance instead of simply state what I "did there"

I decided long ago, to only play with you and make fun of you, by pointing out your hypocrisy, lies, arrogance, and stupidity. I've only told you that at least a dozen times now. Obviously your admitted stupidity has hindered your understanding of what I have clearly stated.

Feel free to carry on, it only supports your admission.

I believe that is only in reference to other politicians not private citizens or companies.

That is my understanding as well, and it does not extend outside the House or to things like party or MP websites. As far as I know, MPs, are accountable, like any other citizen when it comes to statements made concerning individuals or companies that are not Members, and thus the burden of proof for their statements resides with them as well.

Maybe we can get Gomery to lead the inquiry... He has some excellent experience garnered from the Adscam events

Turmel has been rubbing Gomery in Harper's face during question period. I think the opposition is in favour of getting him in there, but I haven't heard acknowledgement on this point from the CPC yet.
