May v. Duffy

By: Law is Cool Contributor · October 9, 2008 · Filed Under Environmental Law, Humour, Media Law, Politics ·

It’s one of the few times when a title like that won’t be a legal case.

Elizabeth May, leader of the Green Party, took on television journalist Mike Duffy.

Duffy suggests that May can say whatever she wants because she would never be in power. Some Liberals envision a Dion cabinet with May as Minister of the Environment.

But May doesn’t take issue with that swipe and instead objects with Duffy’s characterization of her quote, questioning his journalistic integrity.
