Conservatives sueing the Liberals!

[Mitch]

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has filed a notice of libel against Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion and the Liberal Party of Canada over statements on the party's website regarding the Chuck Cadman affair.

I don't really know what to say about this, there are 2 sides to this (as always). This is about an item that was posted on the Liberal website about Chuck Cadman and the conservatives want it taken down or they'll sue. So, I think this is a little bit of a blow to free speech, but this is very defamatory to the conservative party.

It seems to me that his wife, having certain vested interests in the Conservative Party (i.e., her running as an MP federally), would not be so quick to ascertain their villainry were it not true.
That might be flimsy evidence, but the story strikes me as candid.
