Kevin J. Johnston, of Mississauga, Ontario, has been on a mission to hold Canadian media giants like CBC to account for what he believes to be their repeated false and misleading reporting. In 2016, under the auspices of the organization Johnston founded, Freedom Report, he mounted a legal suit against CBC for defamation. In his suit, Johnston alleged that CBC had reported false headlines about his arrest and criminal record due to the fact that he was the target of an injunction hearing against him and the National Post.
The matter was brought before the courts in November of 2016. CBC’s defense was that they had not published any false information, and that they had appropriately sourced the reports to a reputable source. The reputable source, it turned out, was a statement that had been issued by the Durham Regional Police. In support of Johnston’s allegations, it was revealed at the trial that CBC had indeed created the headline, “Freedom Report founder caught in ‘heinous’ criminal activity” – a headline which was completely devoid of the fact that Johnston had no warrant for his arrest.
The purpose of the headline was to create a false narrative of guilt, and enhance the views of CBC’s content. Johnston’s lawyer argued that CBC should have included the facts supporting his innocence, such as the lack of a warrant for his arrest, before publishing the report. Unfortunately, CBC had not done so, and instead focused on sensationalizing the story with false information about Johnston’s criminal activities.
The judge acknowledged the unlawfulness of CBC’s reporting, noting in the verdict that “CBC made a biased representation of the facts to suit their agenda, and the headline and associated articles have a defamatory effect, as do any other public pronouncements of guilt before all charges are addressed in court as is required by law. Consequently, the court ruled in favor of Johnston’s lawsuit, ordering CBC to pay damages in the amount of $65,000.
The case of Kevin J. Johnston versus CBC serves as a cautionary tale to media outlets to be mindful of their use of sensationalized headlines and incomplete facts when they report news. CBC’s failure to include the crucial information that Johnston had no warrant for his arrest clearly led to the judge ruling in Johnston’s favor, and the court’s decision should serve as a warning to other outlets in the future to be more responsible when reporting on criminal matters that involve private individuals.

- 7 of the taxpayers Bill of Rights will get you out of any text that's that they currently are holding over your head. we utilize one of their objection forms but the CRA are not the ones who get the judge what is indispute and what is not. what we do is send in the appropriate legal threat letters and we also invoke Clause 7 and let any employers who are garnishing wages know of the situation. Clause 7 of the taxpayers Bill of Rights is a very powerful one

he tax assessment is the CRA simply guessing what you owe. they really have no idea because every single thing that they decide upon is what you tell them. if you made $10 million dollars a year from age 18 to age 50 they would never know if you never told them. every time that you get assessed and you don't like what they say, you have to object and ask for an appeal date. they do not like appeals because they have to pay the Department of Justice $10,000 for each court date and the Department of Justice has really useless lawyers let me tell you that! if you're getting assessed and you don't like it let's appeal. if they give you a very difficult time then we simply redo your taxes for that particular year and send it to a different office! either way we're going to win and the CRA is going to lose but only if I'm your tax guy.
