Harper's lawsuit against Liberals rises by $1M
Last Updated: Thursday, July 3, 2008
CBC News Prime Minister Stephen Harper has increased his $2.5-million libel suit against the Liberals by an extra million.
The additional money is for alleged "misappropriation of personality," and came to light when all federal parties filed their annual financial statements to Elections Canada on Wednesday, the Canadian Press reported Thursday.
The lawsuit was launched last March after Liberals published statements on their website that alleged the prime minister knew about a bribe to the late Independent MP Chuck Cadman.
Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion refused to apologize for the statements and continued pressing the Harper government on what the
party offered Cadman in spring 2005 to vote against the then Liberal Paul Martin government.
The Canadian Press cites sources as saying Conservative and Liberal officials met in the spring to discuss the possibility of settling out of court.
But talks soon broke down. Harper added the extra claim on June 4.
The Conservatives have charged that a 2005 tape of Harper responding to questions from Vancouver journalist Tom Zytaruk about an offer to Cadman for a million-dollar insurance policy was "doctored."

Canadians Deserve a Clean Environment! June 27th, 2008
Dear Editor:
Policies that attempt to preserve the health of our environment often attract critics who suggest that such proactive measures will somehow destroy our economy or comfortable way of life. In other words, keep the good times rolling at any cost to the environment. Such arguments fail however to recognize a key underlying goal of policies which seek to protect the environment: passing on a clean and healthy environment to our children and grandchildren.
While many Saskatchewan people have lived through tough times, such as the dirty thirties, the vast majority are able to say that they inherited clean air to breathe and water to drink from the generations who lived here before them. We have also benefited from a wealth of natural resources that our predecessors did not deplete to the point of exhaustion, and a climate suitable for growing some of the world’s best food crops. And so why would we now place such a burden on our environment that the next generation is denied what we have come to take for granted?
Future generations deserve to be left with a clean, healthy and productive environment and we have a duty to ensure that this is the case. In other words we must now take measures which look beyond our current needs and ways of living. This doesn’t require a radical shift in behavior, but simply a few measures that, once added up, will contribute to a lesser impact on our environment and supply of natural resources. The Liberal Party’s “Green Shift” is one such plan.
The plan is as powerful as it is simple: cut taxes on those things we all want more of such as income, investment and innovation, and shift those taxes to what we all want less of: pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and waste. In addition, this tax shift will be revenue neutral, so that the Federal Government will not have surplus tax revenues.
This commitment will be enshrined in legislation, and the Auditor General will look at the numbers and confirm this each and every year to Canadians. For those who may not be able to carry the burden of higher home heating costs, the Green Shift will actually give rise to further tax cuts and assistance so that no one is left behind when it comes to doing the right thing for the environment.
It’s easy to sit idle and complain that doing the right thing for our environment will hurt our pocketbooks – Harper’s Conservatives have done it for over two years now. And they continue to do it today. Rather than waste more precious time, the Liberals have worked hard to design a plan that makes both economic and environmental sense – a plan that takes responsibility for future generations of Saskatchewan people.
Yours sincerely,
Garry Oledzki
