A long-running legal feud, between two former high-profile Liberals and both the prime minister and Canada's ambassador to the U.S., has ended with a secret settlement. "The Liberal Party of Canada regrets the circumstances that led to this lawsuit. Ianno sought another $1.5 million for damage to his reputation, lost business opportunities and emotional suffering, suing MacNaughton but not Trudeau. Innes was blocked from running after complaints from several young Liberal volunteers, who alleged they were bullied and pressured by Ianno. There were also allegations Ianno bad-mouthed both Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland, then the Liberal MP for the neighbouring riding of Toronto Centre.
