Edmonton MP Kerry Diotte has settled a defamation lawsuit against a student newspaper after it apologized for publishing two articles that called him racist. The University of Alberta's Gateway Newspaper has retracted a news story and editorial that appeared last November. The articles had criticized Diotte for tweeting a photo of himself and white nationalist Faith Goldy in 2017. @KerryDiotte will you finally do the right thing, condemn Faith Goldy and her racist views, and apologize for standing shoulder to shoulder with her? One of them, Edmonton writer Bashir Mohamed, left his tweets up and said a lawsuit has yet to materialize.
