Former Conservative senator Linda Frum wins defamation case she says was designed to silence her

The Ontario Superior Court on Monday dismissed the claim, which included a demand for $2-million in damages, equivalent to 100 years of the journal’s gross revenue. The court found she was remarking on important political issues and the journal was trying to “quash her speech.”

Ms. Frum said in Ontario laws on strategic lawsuits against public participation are “relatively new” and that the case will become important and “precedent-setting.” One of the tweets she sent remarked that Sada was “the official voice of Hezbollah in Canada,” which she later corrected to the “unofficial voice of Hezbollah in Canada” after a Twitter user challenged this allegation.
