Figured you political junkies might get a laugh out of this. Our PM is suing the opposition party for libel.
OTTAWA?Prime Minister Stephen Harper is following through on his threat to sue the federal Liberals because of accusations, posted on the Liberal party's website, that he knew of "Conservative bribery."
The lawsuit ? a statement of claim for $2.5 million was filed today in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice ? is a response to the "defamatory" statements made by the Liberals, Harper spokesperson Sandra Buckler said.
"He's doing what any other person with integrity would do to defend himself and his family," she said.
It marks the first time a sitting prime minister has sued the opposition for libel.
