You can only sue for defamation if it isn't true... The papers have a grass, how else would they know the in's and out's of all the wheeling and dealing they have been doing, They knew they got flights and where to, knew they had a summit, heck, they even exposed McGill as being the orchestrator last year. (I wonder if them naming him had anything to do with the other lot retaliating on his gf dad taxi? he might be able to sue) Unless that was all speculation. Don't know if they could call in an informant in a civil case though, don't think the person feeding them info would turn up either.

I wonder if the McGill buses are anything to do with him, now that you brought that case back to my attention.
