Alberta Premier Smith says UCP paying for possible defamation lawsuit against CBC
EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says her United Conservative Party is paying for legal actionshe is consideringagainst the CBC, which the Opposition NDP says raises the question of whether the government rejected pursuing the lawsuit.
On Sunday, a notice of defamation letter sent from lawyers on behalf of Smith called on the CBC to retract and apologize for a January story. The story stated a member of her staff sent emails to the Alberta Crown Prosecution Service challenging how it was handling court cases from COVID-19 protests at the United States-Canada border crossing at Coutts, Alta.
Smith has refused to answer questions from reporters about the call, citing the possible lawsuit against CBC. “Rather, ran offside in a way that is unprecedented and unacceptable, and so the only way that this lawsuit can even be pursued is if she goes to UCP donors and asks them to pay.”
