RackNine sues Pat Martin and NDP for $5 million, By Meagan Fitzpatrick, CBC News, Mar 3, 2012http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/story/2012/03/02/pol-racknine-sues-ndp.html
I wouldn't be surprised that
there were many highly qualified lawyers willing
to assist Pat Martin and the NDP
on a Pro Bono basis on this one.
??? "Meier . . . his company to be
'shunned, avoided, and exposed to hatred, contempt and ridicule' and that Martin and the NDP purposefully tried to maximize the damage to RackNine."
The first question is:
Whether, in fact, RackNine Inc. has been
'shunned, avoided, and exposed to hatred, contempt and ridicule"
If this is answered yes;
then, the second question is:
The cause.
I would look to their connection to
Harper and the Con's as causing this
and the direct result of
doing business with the Con's.
Of course, if this is, in fact, the case,
Then the third question:
Damages
is moot,
at least for the Claim by the Plaintiffs.
Perhaps not, however, for
a counter-claim.
After all, accusing someone of slander, libel, defamation, might in itself be considered slander, libel, defamation.
Then, you have questions about abuse of process - using the Courts to intimidate and suppress political opinion.
et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
[Now that's ironic, using allegations of suppressing people's expression of their political opinion through the most fundamental of Democratic principals and rights, voting, to suppress the political opinion of the Official Opposition. What next, going after the media for bringing these issues before the people of Canada]
I hope Pat Martin and the NDP defend this vigorously.
Oh, and by the way, did I mention
There is absolutely no way Harper would allow by-elections to rectify this situation
and
There is no way Harper would allow an Inquiry.
