It seems to me (and I am NOT a lawyer) that the allegations attributed to the defendants are, in fact, defamatory, and could be libelous. Kursk, the irony implied by your comment above assumes that the defamatory statements by the defendants are, in fact true. The essence of the complaint appears to be that those statements are being asserted as true, but haven't been proven (except, of course, in the Court of the Blogging Tories).

If on a blog I raise the issue as you presented it, I doubt I'd be in for a libel suit. I realize this will be debated at two levels during the weeks to come. There will be some interesting discussion of the particulars and merits of the case, the nature of libel, the challenge of balancing libel law with freedom of speech, and so on. And then there will be a lot of yowling of the "Richard Warman is an evil whelp of Satan Yay Kate Death To Our Foes" variety. I'll follow the first with great interest.

How dare they! Is the truth now libelous? Yes Dalton..how dare those served bring to light that a CHRC insider used taxpayers dollars for partisan, vindictive purposes, whilst masquerading as a white supremist and stealing access to private individuals e-mail accounts..

How dare they!

Is the truth now libelous?

Unfortunately, all that's happening is that someone who thinks he's been libeled is filing suit. I personally wish this hadn't happened, as the thought of Kathy Shaidle playing martyr makes my gorge rise. But I guess the courts will decide, eh?

He wants to have the power to shut people up without their right to fight back. He is getting as good as he gives! He just wants everyone else to pay for his crusade. In fact, there has never been a more obvious reason to shut the commission down entirely (like BC did) than Warman's own conduct. Perhaps you need an assistant to see things clearer. Hopefully Dean Steacy's will be looking for a new job soon. No there Daltone Thinskin McSquinty.

Actually, what I think he’s saying is: don’t write stuff that might be libelous.

Not quite the same thing.
