Mom Makes Website, Gets Sued for $2 Million
An anonymous reader writes "A Canadian stay-at-home mom of 3 recently created a website to report on environmental problems around her neighborhood. The general public and governmental workers lauded her for her efforts. The environmental Ministry spokesman was even quoted as saying 'Obviously we can't have staff everywhere all the time, so we depend on the public out there as surrogate eyes and ears for the ministry'. However, not everyone was quite as happy, as she soon found out, when one company decided to sue her for libel to the tune of $2 million."
In the U.S. this is a no brainer, but this crap happens in canada too? I thought they were ALL enviro-hippies there.
Fascism is the greatest political ideology ever conceived. Sorry.
I'm so glad I live in Canada, we don't have to deal with this bullsh.. uh, wait.. what the.. oh crap.
Nobody's gay for Mole-Man.
... MILS ... Mothers I'd Like to Sue ...
The Luddites were ahead of their time.
no, no, no, Canada has much looser women - libel laws are just as strict.
In that cold land of Northern American, they do not enjoy the same freedoms that we do, such as freedom of speech.
Oh, indeed. The USA has much better freedom of speech than anywhere else in the world. Why, here in Soviet Britain, you don't know where you're allowed to speak your mind and where it's forbidden -- I really wish we had designated "free speech zones" like you Americans!
In America, we err on the side of free speech. But if you can't provide evidence, no one will believe you.
I have proof that what you say is false! 3 words will be enough: "Bush" "WMD" "Iraq"
Canada has much looser women
That comes from having sex with us Canadian men.
