On Sept. 13, Ontario Progressive Conservative Leader Patrick Brown misspoke: he said Premier Kathleen Wynne would be standing trial in a bribery case in Sudbury, Ont. ("when she stands trial," he said), when she was, in fact, testifying as a witness in a case involving two top Liberal staffers. So they doubled down — surely to the Liberals' delight — and thus were promptly served with an official notice of libel. But the fact is, when the premier sues the opposition leader for libel, that is news. The Ontario Liberals are expert campaigners and can — and already have started to — devour this type of amateurish opposition.
