Only at 2:50 did he hint at what he's being charged with: "I will protect my sources." Any journalist worth his salt would.
Section 91(1) is a speech offence about “false statements” relating to a candidate’s character, requiring proof of knowing falsity and intent to affect the election.
This sounds like the kind of thing Douglas Mackey was charged with. It sounds like a direct consequence of the whole Russia moral panic engulfing the collective West for the past 10 years.
I doubt this will go anywhere, but the problem with Canada is that they "investigate" to punish."He will have his day in court", they'll say, except that months or years of your life are wasted, tens of thousands in attorney's fees, etc.
Around that, Canada's $Doallar is like 0.70 USD. 10 years of Liberals.
That's correct: the process IS the punishment. Trial by torture is alive and well! The Crown knows that have nothing: he can easily prove everything, it's all based on public documents. But they'll drag this out for years, and for some reason the Gov't won't cover his legal fees like they do for terrorists, for example.

Isn't that something like 25,000 euros?
The other problem with lawfare in Canada is that at this point, 80%+ of all sitting judges are Trudeau appointees.
And Trudeau Liberals aren't just crony apparatchiks, they are true believers in the cause.
