CANADIAN POLITICIAN SUING JEWISH GROUPS
June 25, 2009
TORONTO (JTA)
An ex-candidate in Canada is suing the country's leading Jewish advocacy groups, alleging they ruined her political career.
Lesley Hughes, who was dumped as a Liberal candidate in a Winnipeg-area electoral district, claims the Canadian Jewish Congress and B'nai Brith Canada made false and defamatory accusations that she is anti-Semitic.
In a lawsuit filed June 16, Hughes alleges that as a result of the actions of the CJC and B'nai Brith, former federal Liberal leader Stephane Dion revoked her candidacy in last September's federal elections.
Hughes is suing the organizations, four of its senior members and Peter Kent, now a federal Cabinet minister who represents a heavily Jewish Toronto-area district.
In her lawsuit Hughes acknowledges that in a 2002 article in a Winnipeg community newspaper, she repeated a variation of the Internet canard that legions of Jews avoided death in the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center because the Mossad knew of the attacks in advance.
"Israeli businesses, which had offices in the Towers, vacated the premises a week before the attacks, breaking their lease to do it," she wrote.
Hughes alleges in her suit that CJC and B'nai Brith, using a 6-year-old article, persuaded Dion to revoke her candidacy on the grounds that she was anti-Semitic and unfit for public office.
SHAME ON YOU, MR. DION, FOR CAVING IN TO THESE BULLIES!!!
She says Kent, then a Conservative candidate, issued a news release on Sept. 26, 2008 in which he said Hughes holds "extreme, anti-Israel 9/11 conspiracy theories" and was "unfit to serve for public office."
Hughes claims she has been "branded as an anti-Semite and a person of unsavory character and, as a result, is no longer employable in her role as a freelance journalist/broadcaster." She also says she has suffered mental distress and humiliation.
None of the defendants has filed statements of defense, nor have any of the allegations been proven in court.
IT seems the Zionist media
is up to its usual dirty ricks of
defaming and ruining a woman
who DARES challenge the Israeli party line
by speaking the truth.

I doubt if Leslie Hughes will get anywhere with her lawsuit... Jewish lawyers, and jewish judges will see to that!
ReplyDeleteSuch is the state of Canada on this fine "Canada Day"... Still zionist occupied, still with no real freedom of speech, still with a corrupt government in Ottawa, still with draconian "Hate Laws", still taxed to death, still giving undying support to the evil state of Israel.. still....I could go on and on...
142 years since we broke from the British yoke, and now we are just as enslaved as ever. Canada Day indeed!
