Not an exhaustive comparison, just the highlights.
Ezra Levant is in court today fighting:
“an exceedingly political lawsuit” designed to shut him out of public debate, brought by a “master of lawfare.”
The details, so far as we know, include:
Court documents indicate this week’s trial will turn on Mr. Awan’s claim that Mr. Levant, on his blog in 2009, “variously described [him] as “Khurrum Awan the liar,” “stupid, a “fool,” a “serial, malicious, money-grubbing liar,” and “unequivocally implied that he was an anti-Semite and perjurer.”
Mr. Awan is asking for $50,000 in damages.
I will be attending Discoveries on Thursday for Michael Bird’s defamation suit against me. I can’t go into the specifics of what was said that has upset the bishop, but his claim for damages against me is $400,000.
An interesting contrast in amounts sought between the secular and the ecclesiastical.
Praying.
Praying for you.
Rule #1: Never get between an Anglican cleric and a bucket of money.
When the unbelieving world shows less avarice than supposed “Christians”, you know the truth of what flourishes beneath the painted surface.
If the Right Reverend Bird wins, will he tithe his winnings to charity? One wonders!
