LIBEL LAW & COURTS USED TO BLUNDGEON FREE SPEECH & INDIVIDUALS

Just look at Donald Trump. With money and power you can say absolutely whatever you want. Then look at Bob Verdun. Without millions and without powerful friends our libel laws can and are successfully used to hammer honest and courageous citizens. Free speech is absolutely a joke. Today's Waterloo Region Record once again appears to delight in Mr. Verdun's legal difficulties. Lest we forget the person he is supposed to have libeled was in a position of authority with Clarica whom I believe purchased the note (debt) held by MFP Financial. Yes that is the company that everybody seems quite O.K. with slamming for their bait & switch over the Rim Park complex with Waterloo Council way back when. Did Clarica have no knowledge as to how the City of Waterloo got swindled?

Bob Verdun and his newspaper in Elmira (The Independent) were instrumental for decades in keeping Woolwich Township informed. They at considerable expense attended all the Environmental Appeal Board hearings in regards to the Uniroyal Chemical environmental disaster in Elmira, Ontario in late 1989. Bob Verdun is not the only one who views himself as a defender of the public interest. I do as do hundreds to thousands of others who are better informed than the writer of the following article in today's Record, titled "With debts mounting, Verdun declares bankruptcy".
