EDMONTON — Former Alberta premier Jason Kenney has lost his bid to have a court throw out a defamation case five environmental groups brought against him.
On Oct. 21, 2021, he delivered a report saying the groups were merely exercising their freedom of speech. The total amount of foreign money spent on anti-oilsands campaigns amounted to about $3.5 million a year — about the same as the cost of Allan’s inquiry.
“It would defeat defamation law if a party were simply allowed to break their defamatory statement and the identity of the defamed into separate but closely linked statement and offer the defence the defendants have here.”Article contentWhen the suit was filed, Paul Champ, lawyer for the environmental groups, said it was important to hold politicians to account.
“He took the findings of the inquiry and decided they didn’t meet his needs and just reinterpreted them and made stuff up,” Gray said.
