Yes, that was what was used against Mark Steyn. And, it was the public outcry that resulted in it being repealed.
If the same thing happened with defamation law, it would be awesome!
Okay, so maybe Canada hasn’t totally gone around the bend then.
I wonder what it would take to get some movement started towards repealing or modifying the defamation law? I would think that conservative lawmakers would be quite sympathetic towards what you’ve experienced, maybe to the point of taking action. Have you tried contacting your representative in Parliament? Might be worth a shot. I wonder if Mark Steyn or Ezra Levant might be willing to help? I really feel like your experience crystallizes what is screwed up about that law and gives it a “story”. This might be an opportunity in disguise.
