OTTAWA—Han Dong, the Independent MP for Don Valley North, says he has hired a lawyer and plans to take unspecified legal action against a broadcaster that reported stories that he claims falsely questioned his loyalty to Canada.He declined an interview request from the Star, and did not say whether — or when — he might give formal notice of any legal action.
Global News also reported in February that Dong was a “witting affiliate” in Beijing’s attempts to help him secure the Liberal party’s nomination to run in Don Valley North in the 2019 federal election.He says he has received “” since the reports were published, but that Canadian intelligence officials, police and elections authorities have never contacted him about alleged Chinese interference.
He added that he is willing to meet with former governor general David Johnston, who has been appointed by the federal government as a “special rapporteur” to look into the interference allegations and decide if a public inquiry is necessary. This experience pushed Dong’s father to bring his family to Canada in 1990, Dong wrote in his statement Monday. The resulting “trauma” in his family is one reason Dong said he “took every available opportunity” to advocate for the release of Spavor and Kovrig during their imprisonment in China.
Just like Trump suing anyone who speaks the truth. Wannabe dictators, fascists, and Communists…all try and suppress truth. This is a Communist tactic, silencing the press
Smoke and mirrors
Why threaten? Sue their sinophobic asses to the bankruptcy court!
He's not threatening it, he's doing it. Do you have editors?
Lots of guilty people threaten legal action. Will he follow through will tell a lot.
Global News getting a taste of what it's like to report things that shine a bad light on the Liberal Party. Will they retract, tuck their tail and obey Trudeau... Or will they actually get red pilled and start swinging back?
Threatens? He's doing it. Look deeper at globalnews possibly not doing their job. Craigoffman scoopercooper RobertFife had the 'story' weeks ago and realized there was no 'there', there. HAN DONG'S STATEMENT:
Only the Liberals would choose a candidate named Han Dong.
l hope he, sues, their pants, off, or sues, them to the stone edge, you make derogatory statements, you should be able to back them up.
Discovery should be fun... bring down the Liberals?
Just like JustinTrudeau threatened AndrewScheer never to materialize because that causes disclosure and the truth is the best defence.
The headline we all expected...
