In a statement of claim, the former interim leader of the OPP is alleging the Progressive Conservative Premier “maliciously” ruined his reputation in a 'deliberate act of reprisal”
Doug Ford is being sued for $5-million by Brad Blair, a fired police commander who is alleging the Progressive Conservative Premier “maliciously” ruined his reputation in a"deliberate act of reprisal.”
In response to the statement of claim, a spokesman for Mr. Ford said the Premier will be responding in court.The Premier’s concern is, and always has been, protecting and supporting the front-line OPP officers who put their lives on the line everyday to protect our communities,” Simon Jefferies said.
“It’s unfortunate that one person has sour grapes ... and reacting the way he’s reacting and breaking the Police Act numerous times,” the Premier said in one televised interview. “Someone needs to hold him accountable, I can assure you that.” The claim adds that, potentially, millions of people read or heard about Mr. Blair through the remarks of Mr. Ford, who “intentionally, deliberately and maliciously disseminated allegations of numerous violations of the PSA" in the media.
