There's some great posturing from the Liberals about getting back the $2 million Mulroney "legally defrauded" from us taxpayers in his false libel suit. Unfortunately, in law, settlements are settlements; that is, when done, they are done. He gets to keep the cash. We get to stay screwed.
We didn't label him lyin' Brian for nothing!
Crooks and lairs have used libel law for generations to intimidate truth-tellers into settlement and silence. Politicians and captains of industry have long been loath to change these laws because they nearly alone have the ability to use the reverse onus nature of Canada's various libel statutes to grind whistleblowers into humiliation.
Demanding the money back is the right thing to do, but it'll never happen.
Here is one law for all in Canada, but some of us are better able to leverage it.
